Photographer’s Note

Walking in the jetty of Lefkada a little before the sunset and when the coastal shops are ready and wait for the first customers.Idyllic place to seat someone to drink or to eat something and to admire the splendid sunset and the peacefulness of sea.

Περίπατος στην προβλήτα της Λευκάδας λίγο πριν την δύση και όταν τα παραλιακά μαγαζιά είναι έτοιμα και περιμέμουν τους πρώτους πελάτες.Ειδυλιακό μέρος να κάτσει κάποιος να πιεί ένα ποτό ή να φάει και να θαυμάσει το υπέροχο ηλιβασίλεμα και την γαλήνη της θάλασσας.

ciao Danos,

nice sunset tones, good POV and atmosphere
just a question: is it not too dangerous to have the tables so close to the harbour??
you know..too much ouzo and you could fall into sea!

ciao

snunney (35464) 2008-07-10 7:16

Hello Danos,
Looks a lovely spot to have a drink in the late afternoon sun contemplating the little harbour. I like the diagonal perspective and, especially the golden light and feeling of tranquillity. Very good colours and clarity.

Hi Danos,
C'est avec plaisir que je prend place a cette table, dans la lumiére douce du soir et ce moment de tranquillité que j'apprécie en silence et qui me fait rêver, et j'aime beaucoup celà :-)
Friendship

feather (50144) 2008-07-10 8:49

Idyllic indeed. I would love to be there enjoying a stifado and a bottle of wine as the sun goes down. The evening light is good and you have composed the image well on the diagonal. Well done

Hi Danos,
Nice place for the breakfast! This view is well taken with the diagonal.

LamCam (3603) 2008-07-10 12:26

Geia sou Dano, You have caught the atmosphere beautifully - the gold evening light, and the rippling water. The strong diagonals in your composition emphasise the feeling of space.
Lovely!

After Fiskardo, Lefkada. Usually sailing people do the opposite: from north to south! (:-
Magic light and magic atmosphere in this picture, and yes, it makes one dream of sitting at those tables and breath the fresh air from open sea...
So vivid and vibrant.
Compliments,
Donato

Danos my friend,
it still keep raining a lot here in the north west of england (at least here in Manchester) and it's pretty cold..and you?? what are you posting? You make me so envious as I'd like to enjoy the great mood you bring in with this marvellous picture and its beautiful colours and light. Keep posting pictures like this one and you'll make "the english summer" beautiful even with the bad weather!
Thank you and regards,

Igor

Hi Danos,
Ah, what a place to dine, but be careful!! Great perspective, exceptional depth, and deep rich colors. Well done and TFS. Gerald

trekks (14334) 2008-07-10 17:35

hi Danos

When you are near such a place, it is always tempting to sit and relax to enjoy the view. But taking photograph of it provides another way to absorb the scene to bring home. Nicely captured late afternoon sun with this composition.

tfs, bill

ElAprendiz (7370) 2008-07-10 19:36

Hello Danos:

As I would be sitting there sipping a Martini.

The view is simple but splendid. The composition has no equal, all the details, such as establishing a large shade scene in depth.

I love the view from the point to capture the shot.

John

riclopes (33131) 2008-07-11 0:31

Olá Danos, your gallery is a festival of dreams :D Yes, this is beautiful and idyllic, and the warm mood of sunset is very attractive. Splendid diagonal and nice sense of depth, while the eyes discover details along the way to the very distant mountains in the background.
Friendly regards,
ricardo

Henryk_Bilor (20371) 2008-07-11 1:43

Hi Danos
Lovely view of the jetty with the boats. Great light. And I love the mountains in the horizon.
Have a nice day.

Απόλυτα ταιριαστός τίτλος για την φωτογραφία σου.
Μια φωτογραφία που σε κάνει πραγματικά να ονειρεύεσαι μερικές απολαυστικές στιγμές καθισμένος σε ένα τραπεζάκι απολαμβάνοντας το ουζάκι σου ή ακόμα και το παγωτό σου στην πιο ωραία ώρα της ημέρας, λίγο πριν δύσει δηλαδή ο ήλιος.
Άψογη από τεχνικής άποψης, όπως πάντα, η φωτογραφία σου, εντυπωσιάζει με τα κορεσμένα χρώματα της και τον όμορφο φωτισμό της.
Χαιρετώ
Κώστας

plimrn (19694) 2008-07-11 11:50

Kalispera Danos,
The late light and your excellent diagonal framing of the quay & tables against the layers of sea, make this simple shot into a masterpiece.

anducina (8131) 2008-07-11 12:20

Hello Danos,
Very nice place, a place where I'd like to be. I like the sunset soft light, the incredible blue color of the sea and the pleasant cafe with its white umbrellas and table-clothes and the straw chairs. It must be a wonderful experience to sit there, enjoy a coffee or a drink and admire the view...

TFS and have a nice WE,
Andreea

Hi Danos,
A perfect title, this image invites us to dream, to sitting down in these tables to contemplating the sunset while we enjoy a delicious dinner or we take a glass.
I like your composition, the nice diagonals, the soft luminosity and the slight shades, and the wonderful blue tones in the water, It is a beautiful photo, elegant and attractive.
Friendly regards,
Josep

stego (22448) 2008-07-15 10:58

Kalispera Danos,
I wonder why this is far from being the first post of a open-air restaurant by the sea done by a Greek TEreker that sticks in my dreams... I bet that your love for good food must have some beneficial influence on the inspiration. It's a a very nice compo, using the diagonal, amazing light and warm tones of sunset. Surely a very achieved and inviting image!
Regards, José.

adores (15745) 2008-07-15 17:09

Hi Danos!
Seems a pleasant and well chosen shot for this time of the year. The golden light, the tables near the water, the little boats. I like the diagonal line and the composition!

gunbud (28153) 2008-07-15 19:58

Hi Danos,
What a peaceful spot to enjoy a little lunch while looking over the vivid blue sea to the distant mountains.
Wonderfully clear colors and razor sharp details to this soothing image.
Regards, Tom

jmcl (14145) 2008-07-16 16:48

Hi Danos,

your note perfectly describes this scene .. Idyllic place to wait for the sunset .. I hope it does not bode well for their business that you are able to photograph all these empty tables : )

take care, John

jmdaoudal (82) 2008-07-18 10:12

This is a piece of Greek mood, a very nice impression of beauty and calm.
The perspective is very well done and the colours are rich colours.

Hello Danos,
thanks for the invitation. It is an exciting moment when the last warm lights of the sunset just reach the coast while the msot part of the see is already in shadow. To be sitting there and having a good dinner and drinking a glass of retsina - a beautiful dream indeed.
Have a nice weekend - and a good dinner on a place like this!
Laszlo

speedymanu (1594) 2008-08-14 0:06

Hello Danos

as Shakespaere said: to sleep per chance to dream, well your photo is truly an invitation to this. A very serene, smooth atmosphere with soft and warm colors, the array of horizontal lines in the background and the dynamic touch of the diagonal on the right.

Thanks for sharing

Emmanuel

Greg1949 (8519) 2008-09-29 12:17

Danos, you certainly live in a beautiful place. I think I'll start my visit here where I plan to spend an entire evening having a wonderful slow dinner... Your shot is great and your gallery is superb, colorful and well composed. I'll be back for more.
