Shadows of History, a photo from Attiki, Attica

Photographer's Note

This shot was taken in Monastiráki, which is an old area of Athens. It is also known as the former heart of Ottoman Athens. Although I am not hundred percent sure, this should be the Hadrian's Library.

I was quite impressed with the light and the shadows I have seen hence tried to capture the moment.

As usual, feel free to provide comment and critique.

Nice colors. The sky is incredibly blue and make a fantastic contrast with the old walls. I would just increase sharpening, to bring more details from the columns. Once you reduce to 800px for posting, some sharpening may be needed.
