Just a boat, leaving Kerkyra (Corfu), heading for Igoumenitsa, the port in the greek mainland. The building, on the lower right part and the whole neighborhood with the small beach is called "Μπάνια του Αλέκου"- "Mpania tou Alekou" (Alekos' baths) for reasons that I don't know. In the bakcground you can see the Albanian coast.

Hi Hercules,
really a beautiful picture: you've captured with a great composition (guide lines and third rule) and sharpness a usual view of holidays and summer. Wonderful sky and colors, too!
I hope to go to Kephallinia also this august!

Hi Hercules

A dramatic tonal range in the clouds & sky, with wonderful intensity of the blue, & good sharpness & framing. Tfs!

Serwus Hercules !
The light You caught is superb, these cloudy skies - fantastic. I would maybe focus more on the distant grounds, the mountains and ship.
Be well,
Mat

Hello Hercules, A fine panorama with very good colours, neatly composed. (But I would rather transliterate "mpania" as "bania" ;-) )
Best wishes,
Gert

Kalimera Hercules. Lovely light and wonderful colours. The clouds are very nice and their roundish soft forms contrast beautifully against the bright and solid ship.I like the foreground with its textures which also provide a vivid contrast against the softer distance. Great work. Regards. Klaudio.

hi hercules

I definitely like your POV in this shot, light superb, as well as the cloudy sky, the well placed boat is a great bonus in the composition.

I love all the many shades of blue. A really pretty scene. Very nice lighting and depth. TFS and have a great day!

The boat is an eye catcher and i like seeing it illuminated, i like your fg too, despite the bench was empty, i think it's a perfect place to relax and enjoy the view.

Wow, Hercules,
where but there are there blues such as those?? Fabulous light and contrast, wonderful detail and the ship is in a perfect spot in the composition. I light the way the light hits the house and brings out the warm colors and that sky is just incredible. Beautiful place, beautiful shot! Many thanks and warm regards,
Shelly

Hi Hercules,
Awesome blend of blues make this a very attractive image. The details, the sharpness, the wonderful colors - can't say enough so will just call it a +++1 for sure. Well done and TFS. Gerald

Hi Hercules,
Here you have a non-typical Hercules photo, yet still very attractive with the tranquil landscape it presents. The empty places left behind, and the crowd in the ship (which we don't see, but once walking all over the place) make a whole story. Waving after a going ship is something melancholic...
Ta leme,
Deniz

Hi Hercules,
Amazing panoramic shot from this picturesque place with spectacular composition. The sky is beautiful and I like the attractive details and the nostalgic atmosphere. Great shot,
Have a nice day

Kalimera Hercules saludos desde Valencia (estoy pasando dos días ahí).

La foto es aparentemente sencilla, pero la verdad me gusta mucho. Su composición y la manera como has manejado la luz los colores dan esa diferencia.

Un saludo.

It's always hard to say goodbye to this island! I've experinced this three times in my life! The colors in your picture make it look like I am looking outside of my window!! Thank you for sharing! ΦΙΛΙΚΑ Στέλλα

Hi Hercules
Amazing sky in this fine composition. I like the inclusion of the house on the left side that creates a good contrast between colours.
Well framed and done
Have a nice day

Hola Hercules!

Un cielo impresionante para cubrir el cielo albanés de esta toma.
Me sentaría en el banco para pasar la tarde leiendo un buen libro.

Un abrazo. Jordi

Hola Hércules.
Magnifica iluminacion provocando una excelente claridad y detalles en tu estupenda foto. Una buena perspectiva y un buen balance de la casa con el barco en lados opuestos, me gusta mucho la presencia de las nubes de tormenta y el mar en calma con el barco dejando a su paso una estela bien vista
Un fuerte abrazo.
