Excellent perspective, E 9 1/2. It makes for a dramatic composition.

Nice work. I like the combination of the white buildings and the red brick.

The "serai" isn't that the same as "serail" the tower where the sheiks kept their many women imprisoned? (Mozart composed an opera "The kidnapping from the serail"). A huge tower indeed, one will not easily escape from it, splendidly taken with also with Greek blue.

Wonderful angle Eleftheria, it makes this tower look so tall. I see by it's stone structure this tower has some very old history.
Of course I wouldn't miss the beautiful blue and white Greek colors.
Well done.

Seems a bit incongruous with the basket next to it but very interesting!

@Earnest: Hahaha! It's not a basket, it's a balcony!
Artin Zaman from Tehran, Iran
That is very nice you are active in photography and trying to practice.
With in no time with your hard work and helps by your dad you will become a big photographer.
For your knowledge I suggest you work on your composition, I mean try to think completely before you push the shutter button and try to get the most advantages from everything in the frame you want to capture or you have to capture beside your main subject.
Try it next time you will soon see the change ;)
by the way I visited your father's website - he has great photos I really loved them.
Regards
