Hi Achim, that dark sky ovr the ruins is really amazing.
good quality and perfect POV too.
thanks, ciao

Bonjour Achim
Bon cliché de ces ruines qui prennent une couleur particulière sous un ciel menaçant. Le WS est un bon complément à ta photo et nous permet d'avoir un autre regard sur le site.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hello Achim,
I like the tones and textures in this composition and the heightened atmosphere resulting from the heavily charged sky. Very good clarity.

It is a pity to see it in such stage of degradation. I would say that even a ruin could be much better preserved. Anyway, I like the long view over the adjacent valley. It looks like an interesting place. The WS is also good.

Hallo Achim, the contrast is ideal and all the clearness superb so we can see every part and detail.
Have a nice afternoon.

Very unusual, so dry, such a "stony" feeling under this grey sky. Excellent quality. Congratulations.

Hallo Achim,
ziemlich unaufgeräumt, würde ich sagen. Hast Deine Söhne mitgehabt? :-)
Gut mit Licht und Schatten die Kontraste verdeutlicht, gar nicht so einfach bei dem Himmel. Die Vielfalt der Steinoberflächen kommt gut rüber und das Grau des Himmels passt irgendwie zum Zustand. Den Workshop finde ich übrigens noch besser, hat was dramatisches mit der Perspektive.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Achim!
Good colours and perfect light in your ruins composition!
Dramatic sky!
Excellent done!
Best regards!

Hi Achim,
Impressive ruins in the desert. It looks like rain.
Groeten Gerrit

Despite the looming rain, you captured a nice band of light which illuminated your picture perfectly. Everything is sharp and full of texture and the threatening sky is a plus.
Nicely done.
Best wishes

Very interesting and ancient site. The lighting is very dramatic, with the building in the sun and the sky very dark, creating a good contrast. Wonderful detail too. Well done!

Hi Achim,

A very interesting archeological site according to these two beautiful photographs. Good image processing which enables us to detail the image well. I like this mixture of shade and light which highlight the stone well. Thank you for sharing Achim.

With all my friendships and a good evening,

Impressive light and sky... Makes the place strange and almost scarrying, especially the big dark hole/mouth on the right. Unexpected from Libya.

Hi Achim!
This is really a wonderful place and I guess it's first time I'm seeing it.The workshop is impressive, I believe, because of that amazing passage. Very good exposure, colours and a great dark sky, which is a very good detail when showing such a place.

Good shot against the dark sky which provides good contrast. The details and features of the ruins are clearly visible...a great use of your wide angle to show us the spectrum. Good work!
