Loving the angle but I'd rotate it just a tad to the right (looks slanted as it is). Great work!

Thank you for the tip magicsteve I'll do as you say, you're right.
This is the entrance to El Alcazar of Segovia, Spain. It's one of the most famous castle/palace in this kingdom. History has it, it was built between the XII and the XVI centuries by order of Alfonso VI who began the construction after reconquering the city. Lots of important events took place in this castle, yet it's worth mentioning the proclamation of Elizabeth "The Catholic" as queen of Castille as one of the most important of them all. Well, Kyricom I hope this brief info fills you in, and will trigger your curiosity to look into a bit more. The history of this place is really fascinating.
