[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The site known as the Tombs of the Kings was the final resting place of about 100 Ptolemaic aristocrats who lived and died in the city between 3 BC and 3 AD. This place is situated on the outskirts of Paphos and added on UNESCO's World Heritage list.

When I visited this place in early December, I could find some lovely wild cyclamen flowering here and there.

Hi Yukiko- I like the BW composition with the shadows on the aged columns and tomb- very good accompanying note as well! Keep up the good work!

Best wishes,
Steve

I like the original comp and also the tones, well done, thanx, M, (*_*)

Hello Yukiko, I like this shot, because of the light raking to the buildings structure, which defines the shape of the building walls and pillars, and the clouds properly accentuates to the beauty of your architectural image, good timing on the shadows good control even in sepia tone it gives credence to your note, bravo and cheers - JEFFREY
