Photographer's Note
This is an after sunset shot of the lonely tree that keeps company to the majestic temple of Poseidon in Sounio after all the visitors leave.
The fisheye lens -placed at ground level and very close to the tree- hides the fact that the columns of the temple are more than 3 times higher than the tree itself!
I first uploaded this picture two weeks ago and I was fairly happy with it. after calibrating my new monitor a few days ago I realised it didn't look OK so i decided to replace it with this HDR version.
thanks to coco and doubay for their comments on the first upload!
I hope Andreas will like this version more ;)

Hello, Kostas,
Compliments for this lovely composed verticl shot. The tree in the FG is very well seen here.The POV is magnificent and the colours are pleasant, too.
One of the most attractive shots today.

Hi Kostas, I really like this one. The distortion given by the fisheye together with the colours and low pov give a very pleasant result.

Hi Kostas,
It is a very good one! I love the scenery for itself and the HDR work you've done is stunning. Colors and contrast are a delight. Especially the enlightning clouds in the background. They add so much to the pic'.
Excellent!
But could explain why you chose this title "Justice for all"? To me it sounds like a Metallica album title (which I like:))
Cheers,
Pris.

Hi Kostas,
I really like the composition of this shot with the tree and the temple complementing each other perfectly. Good use of the fisheye - the inwardly curving verticals of the columns make the temple appear to lean towards the tree, thereby bringing the two even closer together. As in other photos in your gallery, your HDR work is perfect.

Hello Kostas,
This is a terrific composition, showing the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio. I have been to Greece many times, especially to see the ruins, but did not know of this particular site. The light management is superb, the tree does not appear as a silhouette, and neither do the architecture, although the sky is still very bright and colorful. Well done,
Warm regards,
Bulent

Kalimera Kostas.
I arrive late!!!
Well, but what is important is that I am here again.
I like again this one very much.
Again the perspective, again the light and the colours... it looks magical and I love it.
Of course, there is something more: I would like to learn how use the HDR... but I will do some day.
Efarixto kai ta leme file.

Dear Kostas,
You really created your own style with fish eye lens. Your products are so stylish , surreal. Very well done.
