Hi Athanasios,
This is such a delightful photo with those wildly contrasting colors in mid November (!?!). I`m full of envy when I see what you call “the family garden”:)
I know you can`t use one on your camera but I wonder what a polarizer filter would do for this photo, to reduce the reflection of the sky light on the leaves…
Great shot, Athanasios!
Thanks,
Nelu

Hi Filipe,
What a fabulous sky,what a "solar" photo you have here! Very well composed and with a wonderful light is such a pleasure to look at, especially for the ones like me,living in colder regions of the World.
Thanks for giving away the warmth of Portugal:)

Felicitari pentru aniversare si...la mai mare!:)
Daca n-as stii, as zice ca ochii aceia uriasi trebuie sa fie photoshopati dar nu! Sint adevarati!
Numai un copil poate sa te priveasca in felul acesta...
Bravo Isa!

Hi Claude,
You know, I`m glad you`re there in Yukon taking photos because they are a valuable resource of information for us, “people of the South":)
For me that region is surrounded by mystery and the simple fact of thinking that it is thousands of km north of Calgary, which is not quite a tropical island, makes me have a great respect for people living up there.
Thanks so much,
Nelu

Hello Chris,
What a light! It really makes it easy to take the photo, doesn`t it?
I think I sense a gradient or some brushing in the upper part of the photo; darkening combined with some contrast increase, which left the valley a bit lighter,like a slight haze hanging over it.
I don`t know if I`m right or not but do know that I like the final effect.
Thanks for sharing it with us,
Nelu

Crazy colors and amazingly crisp photo for such a long exposure, even from a tripod.
Having fun with the wonderful camera,aren`t we,Lisa?:)

Hi!
This is not a reflection, this is Photoshop, but I like the idea.
Good work!
Thanks,
Nelu

Man,what a place! I can hear the silence,I can hear the clouds moving on the sky.
Fantastic place and a photo capable of showing its real beauty; that is something!
I have no other words, no more comments,I`m just enjoying the view...
Thank you,Peter.

"This was not easy with this backlight, but even that I think the shot is very nice with a fine atmosphere"
Of course it wasn`t easy but the fact that the highlights are blown-out and the shadows are plugged is your way to say: "That is not important; the castele and its reflection matters, they are the subject here". I totally agree to that.
As usual,the quality is beyond any critique, so I will not even try one.
Thank you,
Nelu

OK, so it`s not sunset but sunrise:) ...I still like it!:)
This is a great shot,almost as good as the workshop:) Just kidding, I hope you don`t mind...
I bet you had a great time and now you`re stuck in front of your computer...DO SOMETHING,Peter!
You`re saying: "Good to be back"...Is it? After such a great journey? Was it too much of a good thing,Peter?:)
Well, I am glad to see your photos coming again, that`s for sure.
Thank you Peter,
Nelu
