Hello Achim,
A very good downwards point of view on this rather well preserved Roman theatre. Your composition is excellent, giving us a good idea of the size and a fine view of the lovely architecture. The people add scale. Very good colours and sharpness.

Hi Achim,
The presence of the people has an effect od scale. The point of view is allowing me to distinguish with precision the details and colors of the architecture of the ancien roman theater. The luminosity has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Achim,
A very good and beautiful presentation of the famous Roman Theatre in Bosra, a place I visited more than 20 years ago.
You've chosen a great POV to show us as much as possible of the theatre and from here we can also see clearly how very steep the places for the spectators rise up from the theatre scene.
Best wishes for a happy New Year for you and your family,
Paul
