The Temple of Poseidon, a photo from Attiki, Attica

Photographer's Note

A sunset shot at Sounio presenting the Temple of Posidon as seen from an opposite hill.
Cape Sounion (Modern Greek: Aκρωτήριο Σούνιο - Akrotírio Soúnio; Latin: Sunium promonturium; Ancient Greek: Άκρον Σούνιον - Άkron Soúnion; Venetian: Capo Colonne) is a promontory located 69 km (43 mi, by road) SSE of Athens, at the southernmost tip of the Attica peninsula in Greece.

Cape Sounion is noted as the site of ruins of the ancient Greek temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology. The remains are perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the sea. The ruins bear the deeply engraved name of English Romantic poet Lord Byron (1788 - 1824).

The site is a popular day excursion for tourists from Athens, with sunset over the Aegean Sea viewed from the ruins a sought-after spectacle.

The tripod was necessery for the shot as it was the after process in order to achieve a disareable result.I cropped the sky above to give a more "tight" feeling,darken,sharpen,neatimaging and finally frame resize.

Hi Panagiotis,
You eye is also damn good when you take such images like this. Excellent presentation with the golden light on the temple, but also the light in the sky is wonderful. The small piece of water, the boat, the crop, it are small details, but essentiel for the overal composition...excellent work.
Regards, Henk
