Beautiful Church in Greek-Orthodox Style

Sorry, I have no information where I captured this picture on the south coast of Cyprus. I would give me a great pleasure if somebody could name the village which is seen in the backgound.

Hello Achim,
the lonely stone made church is very nice as a structure.The contrasted colours are impressive but the light that fall on the facade of the church,i think is a little bit over exposure.The sharpness and the clarity is great. Well done Achim.

Reagrds,Danos

Achim,
This is a great stone chapel. Your composition is great showing the chapel from a great angle allowing us to see more than just one side. The lighting and colors are fine as is the sharpness and detail. You have done a nice job with a scanned image!
TFS,
Asa

Tja Achim,
wenn Du schon nicht mehr so weißt, wo Du alles Aufnahmen gemacht hast, ... bleibt Dir nur übrig, nochmal hinzufahren und nachzuschauen. ;-)
Dann such mal auf Zypern nach einer kleinen Kirche aus schmucken Natursteinen mit interessanter Architektur und einer kleinen hübschen Zentralkuppel, umrundet von schönem Naturpflaster und mindestens 2 Holztüren, die sich im Sonnenlicht so richtig schön in Pose werfen kann.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Achim,
looks good, peobably a modern one in old style. The colours and background view are very fine.
Regards, gerrit

You chose a good angle from which to photograph this church; the perspective diagonals work well in the composition. Sorry I can't help in your quest to find its specific location.

Halo Achim,
A good low POV and a good angle in your setting, which manages to catch the beauty of lines of this splendid and simple architecture, with a good control of the light, a good exposure and a few soft colors.
Good photo of architecture, and an excellent quality of image in the scan.
Best regards,
Josep

salut achim

Hi Achim.
A very typic and picturesque small church for this Greek composition. The light was very strong but you have managed to get an impressive level of details. Nice perspective too!

Thanks for sharing.

hello achim... this is the "profitis ilias church" on top of a little hill in "protaras"... protaras is the touristic resort of paralimni, close to ayia napa... theorically it is in famagusta... i think it is a lovely church in a good setting and there is a tree next to it where people tie a piece of cloth and make a wish... i bet you have a picture of it too:)...

cheers

Hola Achim.
Very good shot of the simple but beautiful church captured with great light, details and good POV. The view of the city should be magnificent from that point. Good PP work.
Well done. TFS.
Best regards.

Hello Achim,
I like the design and how they use the shape and colours of the rocks as an architectural element!
Good point of view and a clean elegant composition...
There is a fine sense of depth, and wonderful summer colours!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Achim,
Excellent capture of this beautiful church, of course it helps that the setting is nice and blue.

Hi Achim!
I see Cyprus must be like Crete, where there are churches, of this kind of style, everywhere. Your photo is beautiful, the colour of the pink stone against the blue sky, very pleasant, as well as the little tree on the right and the view over the sea!
The church on top of a plateau seems to be watching over the more modern town down below!
Lieben Gruss!
Marie Louise.

Hello Mr President
Very nice point of view, the volume of the architecture is well positionned.
