Athens, Greece - The Acropolis and city
(The limitations of our site to only display 400 Pixel images is severely detrimental to the viewing of this particuar picture.)

Notice that the acropolis in this picture is not centered. The center would be a weak placement because it would trap the eye by its symmetry and not let it wander around. The eye needs to circle between the clouds and the acropolis to tell the story, so the landscape is moved to the bottom third of the photo.
