Sounio View, a photo from Attiki, Attica

Photographer's Note

The view from the temple of Poseidon at Sounio. What i like to this particular photo is the 3 levels that shows up. The first is the ground where i stand, the second is the beach, the sea and the houses and the third the mountains at the back. It gives me the sense of depth.

Processing: I cropped it, i sharpenned it, i added contrast and saturation and i decreased gamma correction.

I loved the picture and your note about it..landscape is very similar to our Aegean coast across Lesbos island..dry land and dark blue sea..thanks :)
ps. maybe I would crop a little from top...it would cheat a feeling of looking at a lower level at where you stand ? just because we see the picture in our screen...

Great sharpness and colors. I like the light (I guess morning light), it creates a very calm atmosphere.

Interesting to see a shot from Sounion that doesn't include ancient temples! This is nice - good sense of depth and great colours. I'd suggest a slightly tighter crop at the top to just above the mountains.
