Ménudo espectáculo Hercules. Supongo que fue algo grande de disfrutar. Este momento que nos enseñas es de esos que levantá el ánimo más deprimido. Enhorabuena.

Τι να πω και τι να γράψω, ένα άλλο φανταστικό αποτέλεσμα.
Ειδικά ο ουρανός και ο φωτισμός της προσθέτει αυτήν την φανταστική ατμόσφαιρα.
Συγχαρητήρια φίλε.
Το Σάββατο θα δω το περιοδικό.
Χαιρετώ

Geai sou Hrakli,
Kastoria still and always... The city is beautiful and even the sky tries to make of the competition! It is a rather extraordinary sight of this city surrounded with mountains.
I would like I could buy your magazine. Is it possible to command it in France? I would like to subscribe if it is possible.
Last Saturday, we visited artists' studios living near Paris with Marie ( marietom ) and we visited the house and the studio of Vassilis Doropoulos, a painter and Greek sculptor, native of Kastoria, who lives in Paris and in Athens and who made important sculptures in Athens, in Thessalonica and in the other cities of Greece. I do not know if you know him. It is a rather extraordinary character.
I thought of you who made me discover Kastoria in exceptional conditions!

Hola Hercules:

Un paisaje sencillamente espectacular. Es una muestra clara de tu profesionalismo, el cual quisiera aprender. El como se desarrolla una toma de este tipo, donde la luz es insuficiente para captar todos los elementos del area, con definición y nitidez.

Gran punto de vista y encuadre, felicitaciones

Hello Hercules

With this sensational image you are also announcing your exciting new position. Congratulations, congratulations... There is an etherial sunburst effect here with warm vibrant colors. And the earlier shot, Lonely Gaita, I remember it well, is one of the most beautiful images ever posted at Trekearth. It is clear that you have a hobby that is your job, and a job that is a hobby. How much more ideal can it get!

Warm regards, Hercules. Good luck!

Hello Hercules,
I wish you the best in your new job. Good luck for the first edition. I think "Ethnos" is very lucky that they employed you as a chief. We are also very lucky that we see your successful works such as this one before they will be published in the magazin.

Is this the whole Kastoria?
Is that it?
After many Kastoria photos, are we at last facing all of it?
It is also beautiful as a whole, and you present more!
This is great! The timing is great, the high POV is great, colors and light rays are fantastic.
Your "borrowed" 1Ds helped a lot in your magic hands. TFS,
Deniz

ps: Cropped version of Lonely Gaita???

I don't want to imagine how it looks in vertical format! Why are not the magazines published in horizontal format?...

Kalimera Hercules y, ahora sí o ahora otra vez, enhorabuena por la revista.

Primero, la portada me gusta más que la foto de hoy.

Pero esta foto tiene también su encanto por su paisaje y su luz. Aunque me imagino que la foto está un poco "maquillada" lo que en exceso puede no favorecer mucho la foto... pero en este caso no acabo de ver excesos y veo una foto llena de fuerza y belleza.

Ta leme, file.

Hej Hercules.
congratulations to your new workproject.
by looking at the town from above one can imagine how it is to walk around it's alleys and along the quay, you've done some Photoshopping and my opinion is that even the surrounding should be lighted up up bit to get a smoother edge and made the town look more natural. otherwise I agree with all the others and give you a standing ovation.

Primero quiero excusarme por lo atrasado que estoy en las criticas de tus fotos, he estado muy ocupado con la enfermedad de mi suegro y luego su muerte, ya descanso y estoy poco a poco volviendo a la normalidad.
He visto todo tu portfolio de fotos desde mi ultima critica y la verdad que todas son excelentes, quiero comenzar con esta ya que me llamo profundamente la atención, la has captado de una manera impresionante con un cielo con vivos colores y un magnifico reflejo sobre la ciudad y el mar. La pongo en mis favoritas.

Γεια σου Ηρακλή,

Εκπληκτική η φωτογραφία με τους χρυσαφένιους τόνους να κλέβουν την παράσταση. Μου αρέσει επίσης και το γεγονός ότι η πόλη είναι κατά τι πιο φωτεινή από το υπόλοιπο. Kάτι σαν το "Toledo" του Εl Greco

Μπράβο, εξαιρετική,
Δημήτρης

ΥΓ Εντυπωσιακή η δουλειά σου στο Explore Nature. Το ότι είσαι εξαιρετικός φωτογράφος το ξέραμε, τώρα βλέπω και τα κειμενά σου είναι το ίδιο ενδιαφέροντα. Πάντα τέτοια!!

Well done.

Hola Hercules,

En tu galería siempre es fácil buscar buenas fotografías, todas tienen un gran nivel y cada vez te superas, dentro de poco te podremos llamar "Maestro" ;-)

Fantástica vista de Kastoria, tomada desde un punto de vista perfecto, el cielo posee unos colores impresionantes con una luz que ambienta de una forma dramática el momento que viviste, sin duda un gran trabajo, te felicito.

Saludos
José
