The "moon over the big hill" is Athens, isn't it?!

I am so damn jealous!!!

My youngest brother went there a few years back and came back with some gorgeous photos. It was so beautiful. I have always wanted to go.

Agree with Bluedigger Celebration Jun 2012 #27

I am clueless too. I bowed to Mira Jun 2012 #28

Not superior, I just take a bunch of photos. The law of averages alfredo Jun 2012 #33

There are abrupt changes in color/shade because the sensor isn't up to such gradual shifts. alfredo Jun 2012 #31

I almost entered this one. bluedigger May 2012 #15

It leaves me gasping. Mira May 2012 #16

You can't tell which one I entered? bluedigger May 2012 #17

I plan to go back and figure it out. Mira May 2012 #20

After seeing the entries I was too embarassed, but I do like this picture because of the colors. Behind the Aegis Jun 2012 #22

That one will work as a B&W. If you can do filtered conversions, a red filter will do alfredo Jun 2012 #39

I can't do much fancy stuff - so here is one I simply cropped Mira Jun 2012 #53

Still your sky is nice, and the blacks are good and deep. Nice. alfredo Jun 2012 #63
