That is spectacular view of your home town, wonderful composition and exposure.
Is this Spain ?

Very nice shot. Clean, crisp and well exposed and not too much processing noticed. I like it.

Thanks for all your kind comments.
Actually this is Oporto (remember the PortWine?:D ), Portugal.
I´ll post some more from here, soon.

Hi Rui and I'm glad to hear that you got everything sorted and your photo posted!

Looking mighty good and what a beautiful view! Is this from a high building somewhere? Please do show us more.

Hi Rui- Welcome to DGrin!

This is a wonderful shot of Oporto. I have never been there but am familiar with the drink.

It is an excellent capture--great composition and very attractive subject. I really like the star at the bottom. (Schmoo - I believe that qualifies as a Muench star, does it not?)

I looked at your gallery also and can only say "Wow!" There are some lovely images and you clearly have a great eye. I am looking forward to many more posts from you.

Cheers,
Lauren

Thanks for all the help and also for the kind words.
The picture was taken from the top of a hill facing the town from the other part of the river (it is a different town, called Gaia, where the portwine cellars are located.
