I thought there was a larger full size version but I've just realized there's just the normal size! I've edited it so it's a bit bigger now, esp if click full size if you'd like to revisit

I have always wanted to go to Greece! This is a very nice shot I love the contrast between the pillars and the sky. It really portrays the greatness of Grecian arcitecture.

I love the way you chose to angle and crop this piece. You have a nice eye and it works so wonderfully. You are angled just perfectly to give this a nauseatingly tall and powerful feel. Great piece and great bold colors. Did you enhance this at all? Either way nice work.

Thanks for the thoughtful critique And yes I edited it a bit, increased saturation/contrast etc., but not too much. Often photos from my camera look faded, so I usually end up editing most.

awesome angle! the only small thing is that I'm not crazy about the hotspot created by the sun... but a very beautiful image nonetheless!

The contrast of the old building with the sky is fabulous, really. Also, the angle at which it was taken (pointing up) symbolises the greatness of the old Greeks/Romans (I'm not sure which it were..) This could work well in a touristic magazine, for sightseeingspots.

This is really cool. I have a similar shot that I haven't uploaded yet but yours looks better because it isn't a replica

Absolutely gorgeous! The sky is such a perfect blue, and the ruins are still so tall and imposing and majestic.
