[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Meteora is from the biggest and most important group of monasteries in Greece after those in Mount Athos. We can locate the first traces of their history from 11th c. when the first hermits settled there. The rock monasteries have been characterized by Unesco as a unique phenomenon of cultural heritage and they form one of the most important stations of cultural map of Greece

PS: I know that is not the best photo I have post ever but I like it!

You're probably right Μπάμπη, composition is good though, but the colours are very flat. Definitely a situation in which a polarising filter would have been very useful!
Gee, I get a sudden urge to go and visit the Meteora myself... I've only seen them on photos and videos. Shame on me!!

However it could be a very good one Mpampis , the thing here is the contrast between the sky (you've applied the clouds filter here, I can tell :-))) the color is to bright in contradiction with the rest of the pic.you have to balance it..made a ws to compare

Great composition! Very majestic.
I do agree with Dingo in that it looks a little flat, so I did a workshop on it.
Hope you like the results,

Regards,
Brad

Εντυπωσιακή λήψη, πού σε κάνει να αισθάνεσαι δέος με το μεγαλείο της φύσης και την ανθρώπινη προσπάθεια να έρθει πιό κοντά στόν Θεό.
Ωραία παρουσίαση και καδράρισμα.

This brings back memories. I was there over ten years ago. Good composition. I would just increase a tiny bit the sharpness. Regards, Yvonne

This reminds me of Stavrovouni in Cyprus, where there is a monastery perched on a mountain. It also reminds me of some of the rock formations you see in Australia. I like this photo too!
