Good POV and exposure but I think it works better in monochrome (b&w, sepia tone, in function of taste).

OH! que linda fortaleza!. Parece un "fuerte" que tenía cuando era chico para jugar con los soldaditos!.
Que lindos los cañones y la muralla!. Me parece que también puede verse "la puerta".
Buena foto!

Saludos!

Hola Maite!
Un lugar muy interesante para visitar. Sin duda sacaste provecho de tu viaje a Lanzarote ;) Me alegro. (Conoces la isla más que yo, que vivo mucho más cerca)
En fin, que me despisto del tema central...jej, la foto me gusta, buen punto de vista, es una estupenda toma del lugar.
Saludos, y hasta pronto...!
Mical :)

This is a beautiful photo Maite. The expansive view of the Castle and your composition are very nice. I could have used a smaller aperture though to render everything sharp.

Magnifique clarté et l'angle est très intéressant.
Bravo,
Dany

Hello Maite,
Very beautiful perspective. Wonderful and lovely composition. Lovely construction on the photo. What a good observation and presentation. Felled me very.
Best wishes.
Eva

Nice postal card. I like the massive style of the construction.
Good contrast between lighted and shaded sides. What makes me laugh is that there is one canon for one tourist :)

nice shot. I like the perspective and the texture of the bricks.
Nice framing and well composed
:-)

Hello Maite,
Interesting view on this fortification!
I like the low angle, making the sky background...
Fine details in both structure and surroundings, and I notice the two ancient guns...
Effective angle of light adds nice depth to the fortress!
Greetings,
