[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The ruins of the ancient city of Kurion, Cyprus. Low lying ruins like these can be difficult to photograph in an attractive way. I did the best I could by shooting towards the up slope and getting low enough to use the pillars to break up the horizon.

Hi Vic:
I love the semetry that you have created in this capture...sharp details all the way...now I probably would have captured diffrently, but I was not there :)
A very well balanced exposured to create correct blance between shadows & lights!

Hello Vic, a good POV looking up the slope.
I get the feeling of a vast place,where the ruins extend for quite a way[?].
Did you take any shots reversing this POV?
I think your idea of trying to break the horizon with the pillars, worked quite well.
Tfs, regards Jean.

That's good Vic, Very hard to make ruins interesting, you have achieved it with this shot, lots of detail, nice and sharp.

Thanks
Gil

Excellent texture and quality.

Hi Vic, I love the sharpness of this from foreground all the way to the clouds, also the moody sky is good. Nice composition!
Cheers, Les
