Thanks Mo. The shot was taken handheld in a strong crosswind so would have been even sharper if I had had a tripod with me. Wink

I bought a monopod because I don't like carrying the tripod Smile it seems to work ok in most instances.

Very nice!
The light and colors highlight the age of the tower and the people on the right side give a sense of its scale.
Without them, considering only the proportions between the architectural elements, I thought it is much smaller. No other elements in the photo can be referred as scale elements. It is, somehow, strange how big it is.
Are those people at the same distance with the tower of they are, in fact, further?

The people are the same distance from me as the tower.
