Grateful thanks for the thoughtful comment, Alf. What it is really intriguing about this complex is that the block house it belongs , situated in the nicest street of Athens, ( the pedestrian street in the south side of Acropolis , with magnificent neo-classic buildings), has visual contact with the Parthenon , behind of which Caryatides cast their gaze to the "chorus" direction

Thank you fr the visit and comments

Thank you kindly for the visit and your time , much appreciated!

Grateful thanks for the visit,time and precious feedback left. Surely it helps more in evolving t an the casual "kind" ones. I agree in all issues pointed out . The initial take was taken in awkward conditions : almost dusk hour, rainy mundane weather and the wooden church is dark even during the day! On top of that the shot was taken in rush - a pull over for the sake of some quick shots. There are no details recorded in the initial image, that's why I opted for a B&W shot . Sky is a disaster , no doubt about that. I regularly re-visit old takes and try a different editing approach , engaging experience and the newer skills learnt. This shot is a candidate too. Thank you again, much appreciated

..grateful thanks, Michail, ευχαριστώ πολύ ,με τιμούν τα λόγια σου Μιχάλη

Hi, Gail, I couldn't find a better photo to comment afer quite a bit since the last "hello"! You are truly blessed! The miracle and joy of life in person , at its beuatiest , its sweetest and with that smile on the face! Your touch, magical as always, underlined the preciousness of the moment captured . On top of that, the magic moment -frozen to eternity through your camera - spreads its aura to any willing recipient! Hugs, smiles, saluts, greetings to you and your dear friend!

....much appreciated!

....Thanks , efharisto file mou Petraki!

....Grateful thanks for encouraging comment and visit. Kind regards, Chris

Thank you for your attention and stopping by, much appreciated!

This is an amazing portrait! Technically superb , it doesn't only grab viewer's attention but gets what it merits: a long , extended view. The model's intense gaze fights with the technical superiority of the photo. A duel fortunately with no winner...

....composition where grace and mighty predator meet. The regal stance of both and the technical supremacy of the photo make for a great final result. 7/7

what you describe happens to me all the time,Gail. But in order to discover that odd forgotten image which might have a second chance one has to return back regularly to older files. What you came up with and did what you did to it , is onirical, delicate , precious! Have a great day my friend!
