This time a profile from left hand side of giants;

Nemrut Dag (Mt Nemrud) is a mountain measuring 2,150meters in height. It is located near the village of Karadut in Kahta county in the province of Adiyaman. Both side of Mountain have several giant heads of Antiochos, the goddess Kommagene, Zeus-Oromasdes (the Graeco-Persian sky-god and supreme deity, and also the largest-sized statue), Apollo-Mithras, and Herakles-Artagnes so they can see worlds the best sunrise and sunset.


Kings of the Kommagene dynasty from 80 B.C. to 72 A.D ruled Adiyaman and its vicinity. This kingdom, whose capital was Samosata (now called Samsat), was founded around 80 B.C. by Mithridates 1, father of Antiochos 1. The kingdom's independence came to an end with its defeat by Roman legions in the last of the Kommagene wars and it became part of the Roman province of Syria...

Hi Ugur,

What an interesting and well taken picture. I love it.

Cheers

hello
great light, colours and sharpness
i would love to see this deep landscape with more details in the bottom
a vertical framing with wider lens could help
maybe you will upload another version later

Merhaba Uğur,
Nemrurt Dağı şimdiye kadar bu kadar güzel kaç kez fotoğraflandı acaba?
Parlak gökyüzü altında muhteşem tanrı heykelleri.
Ürperti verecek kadar güzel. Ellerine sağlık

Wow ! That's a great shot Ugur, the composition is well balanced and the exposure is great. The giants stand out very well against the darker background. Well done !

Bu resminde cok etkileyici. Ozellikle geri plandaki daglar komposizyonuna derinlik katiyor. Tebrikler tekrar...
