1 and 3 really grab me. The light makes number 1, and the angle makes number 3. Nice work.

One and Three for me Jon - the moody light in 1 is excellent. So are the composition and choice of focal length for both these.

The lighting is very nice in all of them and they all feel fresh, very good set of photos.

Very nice set AG, I like all of them!
I can also see the glow at the edge of the two outermost columns in 1, I usually get that sort of glow when I've reduced the sky highlights a bit too much.

1 & 3 for me. I like the way the columns in 3 seem to drag you up to the sky.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

"I tried to get a few non-tourist type shots of the Acropolis"
You certainly achieved that. Your shots are a pleasant departure from the usual hackneyed views one sees.
Your management of viewpoint and composition add much to what is in reality, a pile of stones. Very difficult to avoid including people in any views in and around the site. Also, you chose the right day as a cloudy sky is always a rarity here during the tourist season. Well done

I think the glow is perhaps from a levels adjustment, also the shot was a jpeg, I shot a load of pics before realising I was shooting jpegs. Very nice set AG, I like all of them!

I managed to avoid people but cloned out a fence and about ten lights from the foreground of the temple shot!Very difficult to avoid including people in any views in and around the site. Also, you chose the right day as a cloudy sky is always a rarity here during the tourist season. Well done
Thanks for the comments!
