Photographer's Note
As usual my husband is waiting for me :)
Diocletian's Palace
At the end of the third century AD, the Roman Emperor Diocletian built his palace on the bay of Aspalathos. Here, after abdicating on the first of May in A.D. 305, he spent the last years of his life. The bay is located on the south side of a short peninsula running out from the Dalmatian coast into the Adriatic, four miles from the site of Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. The terrain on which the palace was built slopes gently seaward. It is typical karst terrain, consisting of low limestone ridges running east to west with marl in the clefts between them.
This palace is today the heart of the inner-city of Split where all the most important historical buildings can be found. The importance of Diocletian's Palace far transcends local significance because of its level of preservation and the buildings of succeeding historical periods, stretching from Roman times onwards, which form the very tissue of old Split. The Palace is one of the most famous and integral architectural and cultural constructs on the Croatian Adriatic coast and holds an outstanding place in the Mediterranean, European and world heritage.

Another very good one !
Nice play with high lights and shadows, with excellent management of the large exposure gradient. You obviously have nothing to learn from my shot of Taj Mahal !!
As concerns your husband, just buy him a digital video camera. That's what my wife did !
have a nice evening

mehraba selnur,
I think he was right waiting for you if the result is this pleasant composition with a good light management of the buildings in the background.
I can see some kind of symbolism in this image: at the end of the dark tunnel of loneliness somebody is maybe waiting for you to arrive

hello Selnur
Une magnifique composition, j'aime bien le rayon de lumière qui coupe l'image en deux parties.
Belle lumière sur le fond en pierre.
Bonne soirée

Ciao Selnur
buona l'idea di creare questo "cunicolo" da cui spunta l'uomo ed il palazzo colorato con i suoi panni stesi.
Molto ben realizzata e composta, ottimo il taglio verticale che da profondità.

Ciao Selnur,
great shot with a nice light management, I like the light reflected on the paving and the man who looks at something interested, the clothes hanging out are a great bonus...
