The Parthenon Photo

Photographer’s Note

This shot was taken in front of the Parthenon in Rome. Most of the week, there was a haziness in the sky, but on this particular day there was a lot of contrast in the sky. I though it would make a nice backdrop to such a beautiful/ancient structure.

Hey Jared,

Welcome to TE, and a great first post. The overcast is very well defined, while the main motive is portrayed in a good angle, with nice textures. B&W medium is a good choice here, I think.
A note next time, please. :)

Best regards.

Hi Jared, An excellent POV which makes it dynamic in an unexpected way. It has a powerful appeal. The sky is a particular strong element in it's appeal also. TFS. Murray.
PS Pls always write a brief note- for example, Pantheon means the Place to worship all the gods, not just one.
