Terrific angle, enhanced by the juxtaposition of the ancient architecture opposed to the modern framing and post-modern tilt--a reminder we are looking at a photograph. The grain and starkness actively resists any overly-romantic interpretation here. Great work.
Really, really nice. I can hear the wings of those startled birds. The texturing you added is very well done, it looks like it's printed on linen. Excellent composition as well. Fine photo, congrats, straight to my favorites.
