First of some of my images from the trip my wife and I took to Barcelona and Girona this weekend. And the first image I've uploaded that was taken with my new walk-around lens (which I was able to give a good field test - almost everything was taken with that lens).
This is a famous part of the Parc Güell - below the part with the famous swirling mosaic benches. Almost constantly crowded, this, so shooting this with only a few people in it was a matter of patience.
I found it hard to deal with the harsh sunlight. But hopefully you will think I was able to make something of the situation, because I quite liked these arches. They almost look like they belong here, like they're a natural occurrence, which I understand was one of Gaudi's intentions with his designs.

I can see the challenge with the exposure, but you seem to have it spot on. Thanks for the background info too. I can see why this would attract a photographer's eye, and I think you have handled it superbly, cos it looks like a really difficult scene to capture and do justice to. IMHO.
Looks good to me Conrad and I really like the warm colour of the arches.
It may have been worth trying an HDR of this, there is so much texture to reveal and that would have also helped with the harshness. I have been pretty successful with handheld HDRs, using the auto-bracket and burst mode capabilities of my camera.
