[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Byblos, ancient city of Phoenicia, on the Mediterranean Sea, near present-day Beirut, Lebanon. Extensive archaeological investigations, begun in 1921, indicate that Byblos is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with remains of civilizations dating from about 5000BC. The city was the principal city of Phoenicia and an important seaport during the 2nd millennium BC, when it exported cedar and other woods to Egypt. The name Byblos, applied by the Greeks to papyrus, which they imported from Byblos, is the source of the word Bible. Gebal was the biblical name for the city; the Book of Ezekiel (see 27:9) mentions the maritime pursuits of its inhabitants. The city of Byblos is now occupied by a Lebanese village called Jubayl.

Hi Moncef

A shot rich in detail with good light - congratulations. The exposure is well managed, the sky is good, the composition is good also with the waterline well placed in the frame.

Orientation of a shot can be difficult to get right, especially when perspective distorts the alignment of vertical and horizontal lines.

My guess is that the building with the red roof is a 'foundation' part of the photo, if it was truly vertical/horizontal I think the rest of the photo would look right?

Just a guess
