a point of view, a photo from Dodekanisos, South Aegean

Photographer's Note

At the end of the long beach of Alinda, at the curve of the road that continues for a little longer leading to the chapel and beach of Panagies and to the beach Dio Liskaria.

In the workshop a very interesting suggestion by Ike (ikeharel) whom I thank very much.

Thank you for visiting, a great day to all

Buongiorno Ourania
bel quadretto, i fiori rossi incorniciano la chiesetta e le parti bianche risplendono al sole, forse avrei tagliato la parte superiore.
Buona domenica
Carlo

Very nice composition, Ourania. The inclusion of the hibiscus and the dark contrast with the whitewashed building adds great atmosphere to the photo. This image brings to mind long, lazy summer days. good work!

Hello Ourania,
The deep red flowers in shadow make an excellent frame for the sunlit façade of the chapel. I like also the framing offered by the fencing. Excellent realisation.

Ciao Ourania, una delizia di composizione con i bei fiori in primo piano a far da cornice alla graziosa chiesina, magnifico cielo, splendida luce e colori ben saturi, brava, un abbraccio Silvio

Hello Ourania,

A little bit dark on my srceen but a very lovely picture with the small church after the fence.
Excellent composition with the flowers in foreground.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

Kalimera Ourania,
Strong contrast between the yellow/baige facade of the church, and the surroundinbg area.(maybe a lower F number would be useful, to my oppinion).
Mailed you a trial on my PC.
We have the same red flowers here, everywhere in Israel.
Enjoy a nice sunday.
Ike

Bonjour Ourania,

J'aime beaucoup le point de vue, presque caché derrière les fleurs très rouges à l'avant plan. La petite chapelle toute blanche prend bien sa place et le ciel est superbe.

Bon dimanche

Serge

Ciao Ourania,
composizione molto curata nei minimi dettagli, ogni cosa è al posto giusto, i contrasti, volutamente cercati, sono molto efficaci e contribuiscono a rendere l'immagine più vivace e luminosa. Eccellente la qualità.
Un carissimo abbraccio
Giorgio

holmertz (26980) 2012-10-14 8:41

Hello Ourania,
You have accomplished a stunning composition this time through the combination of bright flowers and a pretty chapel. Spontaneously I would have suggested a slight alteration of the light and saturation according to the recommendations of Ike.
Kind regards,
Gert

abmdsudi (26295) 2012-10-14 8:59

Hi Ourania
It's so catchy seen from this pov with the foreground glowing flowers providing the natural framing and greatly influences viewers' eyes. It's a shot that meets your vision and I can see what draws you in to the image; the significant subject - the contrasty chapel captures the eyes straightaway. Great depth and perspective achieved in excellent composition and orientation in vibrant colors and contrast. Lovely idea and beautifully executed. Nice work, Congrats.
Kind regards

mjw364 (3720) 2012-10-14 12:33

Hello Ourania

A well composed shot with such vivid colours. Without taking away anything from your image I do like Ike's workshop slightly more because it feels like the exposure is more accurate with the way he has lightened the whole scene. That said you image is a very well observed and composed - you need a photographers eye to see this kind of shot and a creative mind.

Well done

Mike

aliabazari (10105) 2012-10-14 13:40

Γεια σου Ourania αγαπητός
Η εκκλησία είναι όμορφη και συναρπαστική θέσεις συνδυάζουν ένα μεγάλο. Πολύ καλά φαίνεται.
Όσον αφορά

bukitgolfb301 (30087) 2012-10-14 14:17

Hi dear Ourania

Another wonderful image! So tasteful thick and imprrsive color touch you did. You well managed high contarst of white, red and blue colored. Very well considered , stable and carculated framework. Nice and reasonable setting red flowers in the center, that makes so impressive. Thanks for your sharing and have a good new week!

Ourania
Adesso camminiamo bene insieme.
In questa foto la ricerca delle geometrie è evidente.
Ci si guarda intorno.
Colore rosso ed il bianco da esaltare.
Ottimo lavoro.

Καλησπέρα Ουρανία,
Έχεις αποδώσει πολύ καλά την σύνθεση σου με το κόκκινο λουλούδι να δημιουργεί ένα φυσικό πλαίσιο και να προσθέτει βάθος αφήνοντας την ματιά μας να καταλήξει στο εκκλησάκι. Πολύ καλός φωτισμός και έχεις κρύψει πολύ καλά την κολόνα της Δεη.
Καλό απόγευμα,
Μαρία

lpi (4424) 2012-10-15 6:05

Salut Ourania,
Une très belle composition avec les fleurs au premier plan et la chapelle qui est bien placée.
Très bon shot et bon coup d'oeil!
Amicalement,
LPi

delpeoples (45006) 2012-10-15 19:23

Cara Ourania

Che belli quelli fiori hibiscus, i toni rossi sono cosi ricci e vividi. Mi piace molto come li dominano la scena. Ottima anche il modo in cui hai composto l'immagine nel taglio verticale, con un taglio stretto della chiesa ed i fiori. La luce é squisita, adoro quei toni calorosi ed il cielo buio. Ho visto il WS del nostro amico Ike. A me, é una questione di gusti, ma preferisco la tua versione piu scura. Ottimo lavoro e anche il WS di Ike.

Un abbraccio e ti auguro una bella nottata
Lisa

Didi (48934) 2012-10-16 9:35

Bonjour Ourania
Belle vue sur cette église avec les fleurs en avant-plan
Cependant la forte luminosité de la façade. à sous exposé l'image, c'est normale.
Si tu désirais cet effet, alors c'est bien sinon dans ce cas il faut surexposer d'une valeur +2/3 ev par rapport aux indications affichées dans le viseur.
Amicalement

mesutilgim (68014) 2012-10-17 13:44

Hello dear Ourania,
This capture is like a lecture for perfect pov and perfect ligth management.

Allô Ourania!
magnifique présentation de cette jolie petite chapelle dont la beauté est ré-haussée par ce superbe bouquet de fleurs à gauche. Bel éclairage de fin de journée qui donne de merveilleuses couleurs chaudes.
Bravo!... et toutes mes amitiés,
Emilius

Hello Ourania
Lovely places composition.
Pretty architecture picture,too.
Excellent framing of this wonderful church by red flowers.
Impressive point of view.

TopGeo (37994) 2012-10-20 8:03

Γειά σου Ουρανία!
Αναμφίβολα η αφαιρετική στο εν λόγω σκηνικό μπορούσε να λειτουργήσει θετικά, αλλά η εκκλησία από μόνη της άν και τόσο γραφική ίσως δεν θα έδεινε τόσο γοητευτικό αποτέλασμα! Πιστεύω λόγω του έντονου φωτός το εργαστήριο έδωσε κάτι το διαφορετικό! αλλά και πάλι θα συμβούλευα να το δείς πάλι είναι ένα υπέροχο θέμα! Νομίζω ένα δυνατό σημείο θα υπάρχει, άν το ξαναπροσπαθήσεις!αλλά και έτσι με γοήτευσε.
χαιρετώ σε!

Hi Ourania,
very beautiful composition of this magnificent a little chapel and the gorgeous flowers in the FG. Lovely colors, sharpness, clarity, fantastic POV and DOF as well great. Outstanding photo job. Awesome !!!! Thanks for sharing.
Warm regards,
Barbara

Kamilutka (3207) 2012-12-30 16:17

Kalispera Ourania,
I like the title of this photo :-) and I have to admit you chose you point of view truly perfectly. The bright flowers (are they hibiscus?)give your image not only plenty of color and live, but contribute mainly to its beauty. Everything composed in pleasant wholeness, with well given contrast and sharpness.
All the best in New Year! Chronia pola!
Kamila
