Very interesting place and you've captured it well. Maybe I'd like more angle here and the sign attract attention too much.

Yassou Vassilis!

Another nice and signature piece of work. Very well composed, framed and Post-processed. A few crows in the air and darker mood, would make a great thriller movie decor. (^_^)

Bravo!

Woooooo.... Mr Vassilis, where did you go and find all this great, beautiful and amazing building? It look awesome! I like your composition very much, it show how tiny little we are, judging by looking at the people which walking down, it must be a long way down? No car can go up?

Is a fantasty view you show us, thank you for sharing and thank you very much for your kind words on my shot.

Cheers,
Sweety

Hi Vassilis,
Superb view! I am always amazed of enormous work to create these architectutes in solid rock! Here, it is as if the life were stopped with the Middle Ages.

Your excellent photo is a great tribute to people who built this site and to those who live there still today. I like colors, details and textures are perfect. Congratulations! Annie

This is an amazing subject and your photo presents it well. I'm always curious just how they decided where to start in building something like that.

It is a well exposed and composed image

Hello Vassilis, what a view on the Great Rock! Superb! I like the grey tones of the rock and the texture.

Also, the composition and the croping is very well done, enhancing the main subject.

It is so special to see the staircase at the bottom of the cliff, then we see the rectangular staircase at the top and the windows.

Well done and seen! Take care, Yan :)

p.s. thx for the crit on "Log Cabin, Trail #2, Gatineau Park".

Hi Vassilis,
A fine point of view gives a good impression of the place!
I note the stairs criss-crossing to the top, interesting!
Interesting also to see how the structure is integrated in the rock...
Good colours, fine details ... A good image from this interesting place!
