Hi Thodoris,
Considering the historical importance of this building I'm sure that it's one the most beautiful photos in B&W that I had saw. Congratulations.

Hi, Nisko,
C'est une vue si populaire de la capitale grecque, mais, il parait que chaqu'un a sa vision et idee sur le symbol d'Athene.
Ce cadre en noir et blanc est tres fort.
On sent une sorte du dramatisme implique par les nuages bien accentues ici. En fait, le drama est ne en Grece, hein?
Tres belle composition et perspective.
Bravissimo!
Bon dimanche et nouvelle semaine!
Valerka:)

Γειάσου Θοδωρή, η πολύ ωραία καταγραφή των ακτίνων την κάνουν φανταστική, σαν αν το μνημείο να εκπέμπει-το κάνει βέβαια, ένα φως και να ακτινοβολεί το ίδιο.
Καταπληκτικό σαν σύνθεση
Καλό απόγευμα

Hi Thodoris and Gamze
It is difficult to take a shot of the Acropolis and get any kind of originality - but you have succeeded. Good use of BW, an extraordinary sky and well framed in white
Greetings from Thessaloniki

Hi Thodoris and Gamze,

Very dramatic shot. The sky is superb and the black foreground emphasises the effect. Very a original and superb job!

Cheers,

Ulf

Kalimera Thodoris,
In my mind this is unusual shot of Acropolis with effect of B/W,your angle and distance...
Also I like the beams much reflected on the clouds...
Stay well

Witaj Thodoris!
Good idea, interesting effect. I like the composition and frame. The black and white increase this emotion. Photo has climate.

Kalispera Thodoris, merhaba Gamze,

It looks as if this photo had been taken in the prehistory period. B/W, creepy effect of the sunligt and the clouds make it very dramatic. I am sure, the original size of the photo is more fascinating.

Thanks for sharing this very unique B/W photo with us.

Kind regards,

Tolga

Γειά σου Θοδωρή, Νομίζω πως η στιγμή είναι μινοδική, Η Aκρόπολη και η απίθανη απόδοσή της σε Β&W σε συνδιασμό με αυτόν τον ουρανό,
(μου άρεσε και το WS) μου έδωσε μεγάλη
ικανοποίηση, βλέποντας την, σε επαινώ και
φιλικά χαιρετώ

Hi Thodoris,

incredible view! Light coming out from the clouds is a great plus. I suppose it's a scan, a note could help in my opinion.

Hi Thodoris and Gamze,

there is a nice graphical apealing in this image and I like it a lot! It's different than any other image of that place I've seen in here. The b&w option was successful for the purpose. Very well done!

Hi Thodoris,
The clouds are certainly the highlight of this image. The b&w rendition of the Acropolis makes it apocalyptic. A superb perspective, lovely contrast and with good exposure. Best regards, Danilo

Hello nisko :)
I saw this amazing place last year... Then was sunny and windy weather. It is said that on Acropolis usually is this kind of weather; is it truth?
Fantastic place where You can meet some centuries of history... And Your photo is nice but I think You should show it in color's version although almost everything buildings on that hill are white ;). By the way, extra cloudy sky :).

Happy New Year!

Καλημέρα Θοδωρή.
Πραγματικά μια απο τις πιο εμπνευσμένες φωτογραφίες με θέμα την Ακρόπολη που έχω δεί.
Με τα σύννεφα να κρύβουν τον ήλιο δημιουργείται μια πηγή φωτός που δίνει μια αξεπέραστη μεγαλοπρέπεια στο μνημείο, κάνοντας το να φαντάζει σαν να ακτνοβολεί την ενέργεια του σε όλο τον κόσμο.
Συγχαρητήρια!
