Roman Street in Hierapolis I, a photo from Denizli, Aegean

Photographer's Note

Main street of ancient Hierapolis, Pamukkale.

Taken shortly before sunset. Curiously no tourist left, although this is the best time to visit the place.

Hello Jelle,

This is a fabulous shot of the Hierapolis, with the lines of the roadway all converging at a single-vanishing point on the horizon line (one-point perspective). The dim light of the hour nonetheless creates beautiful pastel colors in the sky. On the negative side, the definition (sharpness) is a bit soft, but that could be because of the subdued light, and the longer hand-held exposure.

Warm regards from Virginia, USA.

Looks empty but full to me. There is history in it. Background could be a little saturated. TFS.

Hi Jelle,

Nice positioning with the various lines / elements leading you into the image and wondering 'what's behind the ruin'.

A little sharpening and an increase in saturation for the sky might improve things. A good shot though considering the light was fading.

TFS.

Best Regards,

Malc.
