With the kick off for the holiday season, the day was busy and then we had a fun night with another couple over who we only get to see on the island. No new photos of interest, but this is one from May's trip to Greece that I've been working on this past week (thanks for your advice @ericdibosco ). Eric has been advising me on the tone of the sky and the reflections surrounding the old museum. It has now been replaced by the very modern, open, beautiful construction that is partially visible on the right hand side.
Taken mid-day with very very strong Aegean blue skies which detracted from the composition so I chose b&w, but the lighting and shades of the sky and walking level were hard to sort out.
Thank you for the lovely comments on the abstract sunset. I was so pleased it struck a chord for all us non-talented wanna-be painters!
Have a great holiday weekend -- looking forward to seeing fireworks photos.
Don't forget that the mundane-stairs theme continues through July 5th! http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/25806/announcing-mundane-challenge-stairs
Really great reflections... I enjoy how the building is perfectly reflected in the shiny surface, to make a complete structure. Wonderful tones in this shot, too. Enjoy your holiday!
Wonderful processing on what was already an excellent shot! I especially like the dramatic contrast in tones from dark to light. Is it a glass surface
that's reflecting or is there water?
@redy4et Thanks! It was glass. You could look through the glass and see ruins of the ancient city beneath it, where they had begun excavations. Then, behind where I was standing, there was an open area that you looked down into and could see the details of the dig. It really was one of the most impressive museums I'd ever seen (the new one). I'm not sure what they are using the old building for. And wonder at all this when reading about the referendum today...it takes money to support these displays and the work.
Thanks for the fav!! Always appreciated, but especially on a shot like this given the work that went into the processing.
