LIKE SWIMMING POOL, a photo from Halkidiki, Macedonia

Photographer's Note

As we have our boat ride to donkey islands the water of sea is like pool and we found this ball. I captured the scene immediately and keep the ball for keepsake.
Drenia or donkey Islands,
The islands are located opposite Drenia Ouranoupolis and distance are in round 2 miles. The 6 islands will find beautiful sandy beaches and shallow with enchanting island landscape. As long as the islands remain in your experience will be fantastic to thinking you return the following day. The large central island will find the fish tavern "Restia", where you will enjoy a lunch of freshly caught fish and seafood from the Gulf of Mount Athos. The islands Drenia you can visit with your boat from Ouranoupoli. If you have a boat you can take the boat there at the port of Ouranoupoli and about 15 minutes you're in the big island. The other option is to rent your own boat with power steering and tent [do not have a diploma] and visit all the islands and the island Ammouliani. Thousands of visitors from around the world come to Ouranoupoli just to visit the islands Drenia.

Kalimera Maria,
Never seen such a transparent sea water, in great tourquise colors.
Exquisite photojob, with the red/white ball afloat in contrast.
Lovely

Μαρία γεια σου.
όμορφη Καλοκαιρινή σκηνή με το παιγνίδι στα καταγάνα νερά της Χαλκιδικής και ιδιαίτερα στα νησάκια αυτά που ομολογώ για πρώτη φορά τ΄ ακούω.Η κόκκινη μπάλα είναι ασφαλώς το πλέον ελκυστικό μέρος της φωτογραφίας.

Καλό απόγευμα,Δάνος

Καλημέρα.
Τι ένα πανέμορφο μινιμαλισμός αυτού του θέματος. Η εικόνα μόνο ως σμαραγδένια, πεντακάθαρα νερά και το έντονο χρώμα δεν είναι λευκή και κόκκινη κηλίδα στο νερό κυμαινόμενο μπάλα. Kompozygja τρελό μου αρέσει.

Ciao Maria,
I would like to dive into the screen, amazing color, simple but beautiful composition, the ball serves to realize that there is too much saturation and color of the sea is natural...
good evening...

Καλησπέρα Μαρία,
μια υπέροχη αφαιρετική σύνθεση που θυμίζει αμέσως καλοκαίρι και ξεγνοιασιά. Το νερό αλλά και το φως έχουν μια μοναδική καθαρότητα και ξεκουράζουν το νου με την πρώτη ματιά. Καδράρισες το θέμα και τοποθέτησες τη μπάλα θαυμάσια. Μου αρέσουν πάρα πολύ τα χρώματα, το παιχνίδι του φωτός με το νερό, η αντανάκλαση της μπάλας και η σκιά της. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καληνύχτα,
Ουρανία

Hello Maria,
Excellently composed and finely detailed image with nice simple colors in very good light. Perfect contrast of crystal blue-green water aginst the red-white ball. I like the nice light reflections in the water. A great POV. Very well done.

Hi Maria,

When I opened your gallery, this one attracts me right away. I can't resist the balloon and the refreshing water. It's calling me to jump in :) and swim for the ball. I like the contrast of the cool color and the red on the balloon. Nice and strong graphic with fun atmosphere.

Way

dancing with colors. an artistic shot.

Angshu (51174) 2012-10-22 2:35

Hello Maria
Its the clarity of the water which is so appealing. Like the sinuous waves which create a good lead-in towards the red & white ball which of course creates a fine focal point. Well done!
Regards
Angshu

Γεια σου Μαρία..

Πραγματικά παρά πολύ όμορφη εικόνα.μινιμαλιστική αλλά με παρά πολύ ενδιαφέρων..τα χρώματα και η αντίθεση της μπάλας με το νερό δημιουργούν ένα άκρως ενδιαφέρων κάδρο..πολύ καλή δουλειά

Χαιρετίσματα Yiannis

Tigerlily (2339) 2012-10-26 10:02

Hi Maria,
Beautiful image, love the water effect. The ball works so well as a view point and added on interests and colour contrast.. Excellent!
BTW, thank you for your comment about the sky.
Kind regards,
Jasmine

prashantprabhu (215) 2013-01-22 10:39

Hi Maria,

Lovely image here. Just the fact that the ball is red coloured is standing out in the blues and the texture of the blue water is just awesome :)

cheers,
Prashant

jcpix (3197) 2013-02-01 19:31

Hi Maria,

For water like this I can see why it would be a popular destination! I like most the simplicity of this image, it really speaks for itself...calm, peaceful and a bit whimsical because of the beach ball. :) The shades of blue and green are soothing and the red adds a pop of color and excitement. Great clarity, sharpness and composition. Splendid.

Cheers,

Jason
