| Standing for so long, such a heavy burden, must be hard. A wonderful conversion of the original, with tones that play much better to my eye. |

| Very powerful. The black and white, by just allowing the light (and whatever sensible things you did in converting) to tell the story, really draws it all together. Excellent example of the power of black and white - I hope I'm listening. |

| It looks great, so many buildings in the background really make them ladies pop. well done! I think possibly a little bit of tonal difference between foreground and background image would help more. Perhaps brighten the foreground and darken the background? I dunno just a thought. |

| Oh yeah this does look great in black and white! The statues really pop out now. I'm guessing that since the picture is bigger that the statues seem more prominent? Really nice job with the edit! |

| This has a classic feel to it, and something I would expect to see in a travel brochure. I find the B&W more interesting than the color. |

| Far and near, focus and defocused are what I must learn to do better - at the same time as framing well and exposing to the optimum. Thank you for such an elegant lesson. |

A DPC 5 second voter....
" the background is too busy - you really should blur it out - it is very distracting - and you really should add a bunch more color to the foreground - it is too blah- also, the rule of thirds are violated - what is it with this fill half the scene with the subject"
Me...
"Fabulous use of background to set the place, excellent use of split screen to show the ancient and the modern, fantastic lighting on the faces. I especially like how the lady on the far right is missing her arm - but has not neglected her duty to stand in place - very honorable? |

| As others before have said this is definitely one that looks better in B&W. It is so crisp and clear. Well done, it's wonderful. |

| Stunning photo, like the composition and the different degrees of focus of foreground/background. |

I like both versions but agree its probably better auited to B&W. Am just wondering if we can see the last weeks graveyard shot from this view?
Could almost have been reshot and used for the advertising challenge 'visit Greece and explore...'

| I think the b&w version is very befitting for this image. The details become more of a focus than the statues themselves. |

| Far OUT! This is totally brilliant - love the composition and this crazy huge city in the background with the amazingly focused statue/columns in the front. Wonderful. |

| Hey Kolasi, I didn't see this in the dec free study so I'm just now seeing it. I really like this composition. The layering and layering of city in the background is so interesting visually. That pillar on the right has some serious weathering going on! It is missing it's arm and face! Very interesting composition and I love the black and white. |

| I am so jealous! I would love to go here someday. I love all the old architecture. They were amazing back in the day. Strange how these are so amazing and yet they don't care to build like this anymore, anywhere. Sad. I love being able to see the city in the background. |

Yes, I agree: this photo is much better suited to black and white. I think the architecture being so old looking fits better with a black and white look. . .more nostalgic, plus the contrast of the statutes seems to stand out more. This is really beautiful!

I prefer this version. It has some harsh light and shadows.. but they're in some harsh conditions.

| Ah yes, definitely prefer it in black and white! It may be a shot others have taken, but this one is your version and that's a neat thing to have, in my opinion. |
