[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Old Caesarea, as I have mentioned before, was a main port city, the reason for both it's rise and fall.
In this one I had to jump into the flowery bush (hope you will forgive me) to get this composition of the ruins, the modern statues and the sea behind. You can also get a glimpse of the Power Plant's coal rail, where coal is loaded and transferred to the Plant's storage.

Nice composition Chen!
Well worth the trampled flowers :-)

The clouds on the top left are a good touch.

I like this one, Chen. The flowers make a great foreground, and a good contrast with the blue of the sea and sky.
Although it's now a ruin, it's good to see that the ruined city still enjoys a prime sea-front location. I wonder how many of our cities will be ruins in the centuries to come.
The bright top-left corner bothers me slightly, but you composed this well, and on the whole I like this bright, colourful image.
Cheers,
Ben

Beautiful place and great photo. I like it very much.

Hi Chen,
A very attractive image...lovely light, blue sky and colours.A nice combination of rock and stone with the greenery and flowers.A good handling of the shadows to stil have detail and yet not burn the bright spots.Not sure if the coal rail adds to the composition and general feeling of the image....a shame it sneeked in.All in all good work...Shabat Shalom!
Regards, David

Hello Chen
Thanks for the pains taken to show us this view. I love the idea of the ruins framing the modern statue & the blue sea beyond. Looks like the pedestal of the statue is a piece of the ruins, I may be mistaken though. I tend to agree with David about the effect of the coal rail. But overall this is a good picture.
Regards
Angshu
