This is a view of the old city of Monemvasia, not from the mainland but from within the walls. Old houses, built from stone, with very thick walls. Some are lived in and some are not in a good condition, but are bought from either Greeks or foreigners, to be restored. I hope you like it.

I like these colours and wonderful textures. It looks like another era in another world.
I'm sure there were some treasures hidden somewhere there, by ancient pirates. Ok, that's enough. A visual inspiration.

Hi Vassilis,
Very impressive view! Its looks like a camaïeu with the soft amalgam of the sky, sea and habitat. These blue pastel colors could be cold, but it gives rather a nostalgia atmosphere. Very interesting POV and good DOF. Very well done! Annie

Awesome picture and well-captured Vassilis. This looks like it came out of the movie, Jason and the Argonauts. (the background) Wonderful place that I'd like to visit and take a long walk.

Στην αρχή όταν είδα τον τίτλο της φωτό σου στο email νόμιζα ότι είχες φωτογραφήσει το γνωστό δισκοπωλείο, αλλά όχι ήταν η Μονεμβασιά! :)

Εξαιρετική η επεξεργασία, δίνει την εντύπωση της εικόνας βγαλμένης από το παρελθόν!

Hi Vassilis,
This is a very nice composition with a great PP work, I feel like in another world with a lot of mystery mood (like in lord of the ring), Very well done

Αγαπητέ Βασίλη,
Η εξαιρετική τεχνική που χρησιμοποιείς κατά την επεξεργασία κάνει την φωτογραφία ξεχωριστή. Μου αρέσει πολύ η διαχείρηση του φωτισμού ειδικά το backlight. Μπράβο.
Πως είναι η υγεία σου;
Φιλικά
Γιαννης

Lovely artwork Vassilis. Delicate tones which create another moody scene. Well presented and TFS.

Hello my frien Vassilis,
Very good composition and a very interesting picture. Perfectly work of the photographers. Very good frameworks, and colors and contrast light. Very interesting architecture and information of the picture. Congratulate. Janusz

Rock City.... Hummmm It's dot Detroit Rock City :)

Nicely composed and good quality of the image with your HPP, Vassilis. The colours are a bit surreal which goes well with the abandonned look of the place. Well done!

Hi Vassilis,
Seems like the houses are growing out of the rock..!
An interesting place, and sometimes I wonder what made them establish the town right there in the first place...
Well framed image, good details and natural colours!
Greetings,

Hi Vassilis

Hi Vas,
This looks a place out of this world, somewhere distant in a fantacy land. Great picture.

Strange moody picture! The houses look like little doll houses! I have the feeling of being in a dream when I look at that kind of image! Very interesting textures and colors! Is that the new Vassilis style? Well done! Tfs! Michel

Very impressive work, compo and these houses are just to remind us of a legacy left to us and that we should take good care of it.

hi! vassilis interesting composition.. good work... thanks for sharing (",)

Hello Vassilis,
I like very much the clarify tool here which enhances very well the stone texture and the colours.
Nice stone theme here... on the wall, the houses, etc.
The title is well chosen.

Great work my friend! Even the sky has a nice mood.

Take care, Yan :)

ps: many thx for your kind words on "Full Moon on Ottawa".

Hi Vassilis,
Beautiful shot, Excellant work, I love the mood in this photo,
PP work is fabulous.
Well done

Excellent shot Mr Vassilis... :D

Impressive POV, excellent textures.. you just brought all of us back in Roman time... it look like a fortress, very ancient and powerful!

Cheers,

Hi Vassilis,
Wonderful picture of this little town. Great clouring as well. I only have the impression the horizon is not level. But that a minor thing. Overall a great photo to look at. TFS!
Hans

Hello Vassilis,
