[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While visiting Pamukkale, we decided to continue walking up the hill to get away from the tourists. We came across this aqueduct which I presume use to provide water to the Roman town of Hierapolis, which was located at this site.

I like this shot. The lighting is directional enough to have shadows to help give it depth. The colors are nice. Seems a bit lacking in sharpness, though.

What a strange method of construction! Pile up rocks in a snkey line and hack a chnnel down the middle as it wanders across the landscape - looks like some modern ideas of environmental sculpture! I like the photo for the subject above all - something new (I can imagine National Geo carrying a photo of this thing, if not exactly this photo). The photo suffers from the limitations of attempting to fit a subject that's long and narrow into a picture-frame that doesn't suit its dimensions. I'd suggest, since you have a 28mm on your zoom, getting right down on the rock and taking the same scene, at smallest available aperture, so that the channel would fill the bottom of the frame and than quickly narrow as the eye moves up (like looking up at a skyscraper). I keep getting told myself that I should bend my knees more often when taking shots :-). Watch the focus - or is it something that saving for web does to pics?
