Poseiden Temple at Sunset by taffy

Poseiden Temple at Sunset

While watching the Oscars (not in real time because of a hockey game taking priority), what better way to multi-task that continue cleaning hard drive of less than keepable raw files. And,sadly, coming across images I'd labeled 4 and 5 stars that fit today's delete category. This one (which I'd oversaturated the first time around) was saved because I thought it had promise for b&w. Lucky for me as I needed something for Flash of Red today.
Thank you for your kind comments on my textures images!
The sun burst finishes this off beautifully

Beautiful

Lovely lighting. I must start going through old files and delete. Will probably wait for our winter months when work is not nearly as busy.

The sunburst perfectly throws the columns into silhouettes. Such a time consuming job which I need to do again! Why do I keep all those images which need deleting on the day I take them!

excellent as always, great processing

Great save and processing with that sunburst. I know the feeling about keeping files - must get to deleting a few myself.

I find the closer I am to the time the shot was taken the more excited I am and it takes a year or two before I can cast a truly critical eye. But it does give you pause about what you may have discarded that was editable.

So glad you saved it.

I shudder when I look at some (most?) of my juvenilia from the early days of my project. Sadly, it will probably be the same when, in a few years time, I look back on what I'm doing today!

Striking image :)

Ok...I'm waiting for the pagan sun ritual to start now! Beautiful image, Taffy :)

Just beautiful. Moody too!

Wonderful shot. Would have been a real pity to discard. The sun flare is so well placed in this shot. Fav for me.
February 27th, 2017  
Makes a great b&w. There's something Stonehenge like about the overall set up
February 27th, 2017  
Love classical architecture. This is nice with the sun position.

Beautiful light flare. Looks amazing viewed on black.

great shot...always good to go back to older photos for many reasons
February 27th, 2017  
Your treatment certainly brings this into the enjoy and keep category. I think you were inspired.
February 27th, 2017

Beautiful, pov and use of the sun
February 28th, 2017  
I'm glad you saved it for black and white- the solar flare over the altar is too perfect.
February 28th, 2017  
very cool...fav
February 28th, 2017  
Wonderful b&w conversion - and the sun flare does such great things for the shot. Like your pov and the Stonehenge feeling to this.
February 28th, 2017  
Spectacular image! The sun flare is absolutely perfect!
February 28th, 2017  
I like how you have the sun resting on the altar. I'm impressed at your ranking system for all of your photos!
February 28th, 2017  
@888rachel It's a terrible system as I keep changing it, and when I go back to old photos, I can't believe how inflated my rankings were!
February 28th, 2017  
Fabulous capture, perfectly composed and timed.
February 28th, 2017  
very nice atmosphere! beautiful processing
February 28th, 2017  
Glad you didn't trash it. That sunburst makes the shot.

Great sunburst, with it being in b&w the eye is drawn straight to it, and then the eye moves outwards with the light, to take in the whole structure!
