 Taken in Olympia Greece whilst working there last week !!!..not a bad life eh ;)

The Philippeion in the Altis of Olympia was an Ionic circular memorial of ivory and gold, which contained statues of Philip's family, Alexander the Great, Olympias, Amyntas III and Eurydice I. It was made by the Athenian sculptor Leochares in celebration of Philip's victory at the battle of Chaeronea (338 BC). It was the only structure inside the Altis dedicated to a human.

Great subject. Nice composition. I fear it may have been a bit over sharpened, but not horribly so, and it's a perfect entry.
