SHAPES AND POTS, a photo from Halkidiki, Macedonia

Photographer's Note

A flower pot (or plant pot) is a container such as a pot in which flowers and other plants are cultivated. Historically, and still to a significant extent today, they are made from terracotta. Flower pots are now often made from plastic, wood, stone, or sometimes biodegradable material. An example of biodegradable pots are the so-called "Jiffy" pots. Often there are holes in the bottom, to allow excess water to flow out, sometimes to a saucer that is placed under the flower pot. The plant can use this water with its roots, as needed. Recently, some flower pots have been made with an automatic watering system, using a reservoir.

Hi Maria,
Good presentation with a depth well made with the wide angle and the fg on the ground, the strong contrast of light is well managed.

Μαρία γεια σου,
καλόγουστα διακοσμημένος ο διάδρομος με τις γλάστρες να είναι αποτελούν ένα αναπόσπαστο τμήμα του,που δημιουργεί βάθος και κατευθύνει το βλέμμα στο απένταντι κτήριο.Χρώματα και φωε είναι εξαιρετικά.

Καλό Σαββατοκύρικο,Δάνος

Bonjour Maria,

Le regard suit naturellement le petit trottoir dans l'image, ce qui lui donne de la profondeur. J'aime beaucoup le contraste entre le toit orange et le ciel bleu.

Bon samedi

Serge

Ciao Maria,
C'è tanto in questa foto, tanti elementi, una bella luce e colori splendidi.
Ma malgrado la quantità di elementi il tutto risulta essere ben composto ed ordinato, con le forme dei vasi e gli archi in lontananza a donare un bell'effetto grafico.
Buona serata, un caro abbraccio.
Giorgio

bayno (16209) 2012-10-23 9:01

Καλησπέρα Μαρία,
πάρα πολύ καλή σύνθεση. Παρουσιάζεις όλα τα κύρια και δευτερεύοντα στοιχεία της εικόνας με εξαιρετική ισορροπία κάνοντας την παρατήρηση πολύ ευχάριστη και ενδιαφέρουσα. Το φως είναι πολύ δυνατό αλλά το διαχειρίστηκες υποδειγματικά πετυχαίνοντας θαυμάσια ζωντανά χρώματα και πολύ καλή απόδοση των λεπτομερειών τόσο στα φωτεινά μέρη όσο και στη σκιά. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά και καληνύχτα,
Ουρανία

nikkitta (5886) 2012-10-23 13:23

Hola Maria
I read your note and sad to say, now mostly pots are made of horrible plastic
Like your capture with good contrast and perspective given cleverly by stones' path

Greetings
Maria

Hello Maria
You created a good lead-in with the path leading to the building. But what makes this beautiful are those large flower pots. Good details in the shade & good exposure handling for this nice picture
