- Info Castle of Zafra, Campillo de Dueñas, Guadalajara, Spain. The castle was built in the late 12th or early 13th centuries on a sandstone outcrop and stands on the site of a former Visigothic and Moorish fortification that fell into Christian hands in 1129. It had considerable strategic importance as a virtually impregnable defensive work on the border between Christian and Muslim-ruled territory. The castle was never conquered and was successfully defended against the King of Castile in the 13th century. The successful completion of the Reconquista at the end of the 15th century ended its military significance. c/u/n by me, Poco a poco (talk) 09:54, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

- Neutral Bottom right is too dark for me.--Famberhorst (talk) 12:15, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
- Famberhorst: I've brighten it a bit Poco a poco (talk) 16:05, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment Sorry, but I still think it's too dark at the bottom right.--Famberhorst (talk) 06:24, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
- As mentioned below, Famberhorst, it doesn't matter when you take the picture, that shadow will be there --Poco a poco (talk) 15:26, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
- Note: I have added a note of the part that I find too dark. This is my personal opinion.--Famberhorst (talk) 17:17, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

- Support Good sharpness and highlights the imposing nature of this fortress. I can only see one other FP, also by you, which is very different in composition and subject. Cmao20 (talk) 15:11, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

- Oppose To me, the light is everything. This is an interesting subject but the light is quite ordinary. Part of the building is in the shadow. Maybe night / early morning shot / stormy clouds could work. --Podzemnik (talk) 03:21, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
- Question Am I right that the wall in the shadow is the north side (see google maps) which will never get full sunlight but is nearly always in shadow? --Llez (talk) 16:36, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
- You're right Llez, those rocks are heading to the North and indeed, I call them rocks because they are IMHO not part of the castle, which is built on them. Poco a poco (talk) 15:19, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
- Support No chance to get the wall in sunlight --Llez (talk) 22:36, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
