What wonderful composition on all three of these. They're very effective in B&W, but I'm sure I'd also love the color versions. Welcome to DPS -- I'm so glad you've joined us!

Nicely done in B&W. Bet the originals are just as stunning with the white washed walls, brilliant blue skies and sea.

The black and white works great in these type of shots....Athenian ruins are enhanced by Black and white treatment...to me anyways!
