This is the view from Lykavittos Hill in the center of Athens. It was a cold and cloudy afternoon. Usually pictures of Greece show sun and sand and cloudless skies. Since, in truth, cloudy skies are not the norm in Greece during spring and summer, I decided to take this opportunity to show the other side of paradise. Enjoy!

wow.amazin perspective I think the DOF could be better, anyway it look like unreal. Great job.

Wow really amazing picture!!! Great composition!!!
Thanks for sharing the other side of our southern neighbour!!!

whoa! nice shot Taso! Quite an interesting array of buildings. Nice capture and thanks for sharing.

Taso Kydoniefs,
Good scenery. Some suggestions:
1.Reduce the stuff in the foreground. For example, show a 2 tables and some chairs only. The house on the right side is not needed, I think. The left side can be fixed too.
2.Something can be showed at the far side, e.x. the sunset. It should not be black.
Just my opinions. Don't mind.

Taso,

Very interesting POV. It is much easier to capture good shots with sunshine and blue sky, but you managed this one without.

I particularly like the perspective that your alignment of the streets in the background. Well done !
TFS,
Eric

Μια από τις πιο όμορφες φωτογραφίες που έχω δει από την Αθήνα μας. Την κολακεύει! Εξαιρετικό το κοντράστ ανάμεσα στο αίσθημα χαλάρωσης που σου προκαλούν τα τραπεζάκια και το άγχος που σου προκαλεί η πυκνοδομημένη πόλη. Συγχαρητήρια!

Hi Taso

A fantastic overview, of part of the city of Athens. The fg cafetaria adds depth. I like the repetition of the tables & chairs. Good pov, with reasonable sharpness, & tfs!

Hi Taso
Excellent city scape shot. The detail is impressive and the graphic look of the shot is well drawn out by the pattern of the streets disappearing into the distance. Nice level of contrast too. Well done
