Photographer's Note
One of the most delightful Doric temples of Greece, the temple of Aphaia is located atop the pine-clad Mesagro hill on the northeast end of the island, and it is encircled by excellent views of the Saronic Gulf and the surrounding area.
Excavations on the site denote the use of the hill as a place of worship since the Bronze Age while the first architectural elements were erected on site in the 7th century BCE.

Good Morning Vasilis - I really like your POV on this shot. The ramp leads up very nicelyto the off-centre temple. The dark sky makes a perfect backdrop and the brightly clad fugures add scale. Ver nice. Have a good day. Rosemary

Hi Vasilis!
Wonderful ruins!
Very attractive picture!
Chosen pov, colors, pp, horizontal format, white borders, black writings and composition are all very good features here! Placing those tourists there gave us a very good sense of scale! I miss a bit more of sharpness and contrasts though, nothing serious, but I do!
TFS - congrats,
Best regards,

hi Vasilis,
Nice composition, well captured with a excellent framing. I like the dark sky that gives a good contrast with the temple. The persons on the right with the little red touch add a plus.
