The evening sunset at Santorini, overlooking the caldera. A statue at the entrance of one of the many tavernas looks upon the golden light. Venus? Athena? Me in my toga?

Hi Karen

Well done on the 100th and not a bad shot to get you there.
I am having problems with the starkness Venus as compared to the relitive softness of the background. maybe it might have looked better with a fill-in flash to show detail or soften the edges on the statue a tad. anyway nice one.

Ron

PS I suppose you will have to go back to use that fill-in flash (haha)

Hi Karen

Great composition. Wise use of this statue insteed of the sunlighting. Excellent background. Nice work.
