Hello Vasilis!
That's such a magnificent place, both for its natural and for its urban elements!
That's a very attractive pícture (specially the large version, where I could see all the details much better, although I though it could be a bit sharper)!
Exposure, colors, horizontal & rectangular & panoramical format, chosen pov and composition are all excellent!
TFS - congrats,
Best regards,
Neyvan

Καλή Ημέρα
Απίστευτα υπέροχο πανόραμα της πόλης, που βρίσκεται ανάμεσα σε δύο λίμνες και τα όμορφα, κενές βουνό pamem. Μ 'αρέσει.

Bonjour Vasilis
Tu ne nous a pas habitué à ces plans larges. Ici ta photo est prise de très loin et les détails du village sont absents mais l'ensemble joli.
Amicalement
