Nice architecture shot, Arif.
I would like to watch more but I've enjoyed
to see kykkos courtyard and kykkos corridor.
Very interesting elements architectural and about.

Regards,
Tommaso

thanx a lot my dear friend:) truely appreciated!
there is a misunderstanding because of my missing info, i mean there is no ruins of the original monastry which was built by the Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos , this is constructed afer the original was burned up.,
all my best,

And the rating as usual forgotten. We photographers always deserve a second chance. 6,7 OK ? as rounded to 7.

Paul de Beukelaar Paul de Beukelaar   {K:26449} 8/21/2008
but this looks like an original monastery dear Arif :-)
If there are no remains as you said, fortunately we still have your picture. But I agree, looking well here that soon after the shot all was gone. Why ? If you see smoke, there should be fire. Lots of smoke here.
I like the shot POV as looking straight into heaven. Further I appreciated the tour I got in attachments from courtyard to beautiful painted corridors without the hassle of following a guide :-)
be well my friend,
Paul

excellent shot Arif, good point of view so you get the top of the interesting church into the emptiness of the sky as background, no other elements into the shot so you have a 'clear composition' here...
perfect.

Beautiful details here dear Arif. I would have liked to see less sky and perhaps a bit more contrast to make the building stand out against it.
Big hug and kiss,
Julie.

Nice shot against a cloudy sky. I would like to see a little more of the building. Maybe get all the round bit in. Why has it been burnt down so many times. Seems a shame. Have a great day. Keith:)
