Thanks everyone for the nice comments. The placed is at the town of Alcorcón, 20 Km from Madrid City. It’s known as the “Castillos Of Valderas” (Valderas Castle’s). They were built in 1.917 as the residence of the Marquis of Valderas. They were restored on the ‘80s and used since then as the municipal exhibition hall. Kt you are right there are two version of the picture, the original one posted at STF that shows a noticeable lens distortion, after the initial feed back of my daughters and some STFr’s I developed a second one with that is the one I uploaded for the challenge.

Very beautiful work. I may be wrong but it doesn't appear that you are done perfecting it. I swear there was a lamp post on the right before.
