This is a darker version of another picture by the same title. They both have their pluses and minuses. I can see the paintings on the wall better on the other one, but I like the warmer feel of this one.
Needs to go full screen to appreciate the detail on this beautiful building.
I love the Plaza Mayor! Very hard to photograph though because of the constrained area which makes it difficult to find good viewpoints. You got a lot of the painted detail on this building, and I like the way some shutters are open and others closed. I'm not so sure about the crop or perspective, but there's certainly a lot to look at here. I hope you enjoyed your trip!
