Three beautiful door arches in Alhambra, all decorated in different Moorish styles. The first has a honeycombed (Mocárabe) texture, similar to the ceiling of the Hall of the Abencerrajes, the second is more plain looking, while the last features intricately inscribed arabesques and more stalactites.
The glaring day and the dark interiors made it difficult to get a perfect shot, hence the bands of over-exposure.

This is a beautiful shot – I don’t even look at the over exposure as a bad thing at all.
Thanks! Though I can’t remember if there were decorative designs ruined by the over exposure.
I still think it is a good photo – we all interpret things differently
