Hello Ourania,
Like the way you built this composition based on extremely attractive saturation result of the rocks and sea. The strong color contrast gave a very interesting effect here. Well seen and done! TFS.

Have a nice day!

Hello Ourania,
the contrasting colours of the land and sea add even more drama to an exciting landscape.
Fine use of the diagonal corners in a very well composed photograph showing energy and interest.
Regards Les.

Composition well managed, Ourania, the view is breathtaking.
Combined rocks and way down to sea-level, has good depth and clarity.
A superb nature picture, kalimera,
Ike

Ciao Ourania,
ogni giorno apprezzo sempre di più la tua bravura.
Sei bravissima nel trovare situazioni attraverso le quali fare emergere la tua tecnica.
Questo è un bel soggetto e dal contrasto tra la roccia assolata e l'azzurro cupo del mare hai saputo ricavare una bella composizione che ha il pregio di valorizzare l'asprezza del paesaggio.
Ottima la ripreasa dal punto di vista tecnico dove nitidezza, contrasto e saturazione concorrono all'ottimo risultato.
Ciao e buon fine settimana
Romano

Bonjour Ourania,

J'aime beaucoup la diagonale qui coupe l'image en deux parties presque égales entre la mer et la terre, entre le soleil et l'ombre.

Amicalement

Hello Ourania,
I enjoy your photo but I don't think I would enjoy that view very much in real life. I am not very fond of heights in certain circumstances. But you braved the steep rocks and the wind and gave us this frightening view with perfect colours and contrasts and an attractive mix of shaded and brightly lit areas.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Ourania,
You are a braver soul that I, when I opened this, I stepped back from the PC :) Very fine point of view and a beautiful idea to fill the whole top of the frame with the wonderful deep blue water. Very nice idea, this is a fine image
Cheers
Noel

Hi Ourania
A simple shot from high pov displaying hard rugged rock formation in extremely strong light and hard shadows. The rich color tones separates and well set off against the sea. Nicely capture, Congrats
Kind regards

Cara Ourania

Meno male e' tu invece di me qui al precipice, soffro il vertigo :) Bellissimo il taglio stretto. L' immagine e' bellissima, minimalista e ben colorata. Mi piacciono molto quelle tessiture e la nitidezza.

complimenti e ti auguro una bella giornata
Lisa

Ciao Ourania, gran POV su un mare favoloso che più blu non si può, splendido il contrasto di colori con le rocce dalla tonalità calda, ottima nitidezza e splendida luce, bravissima, buona Domenica anche da TE, ciao Silvio

Hello Ourania,
truly delightful view over the Aegean Sea.I like the scene in tight,vertical frame with so well depicted rocks in the foreground.They´re really excellently captured with clearly visibe textures.But even more captivating than that is this strong contrast and colors you were able to capture.Eye-catching combination!

Have a nice sunday
Krzysztof

Bonjour Ourania
un cadrage bien réalisé avec ce rocher près de la mer qui est vraiment très bleue et la couleur de la pierre contraste bien
L'ombre est bien placée dans ta photo sur la pierre
excellente composition
Amicalement

Καλησπέρα Ουρανία,
Αυτές οι φωτογραφίες μου αρέσουν γιατί έχουν μια άγρια ομορφιά και μια ένταση. Οι αντιθέσεις είναι υπέροχες με το βαθύ μπλε να αντιτίθεται με το χρώμα και το φως των βράχων. Πολύ καλή προοπτική και βάθος.
Καλό απόγευμα,
Μαρία

fabbs99 (5312) 2013-03-04 9:39

Hello Ourania,

Excellent shot from the top. The blue waters of the sea and the rocky hills make a great combination for this frame.Very well done.TFS.

Cheers

Hi Ourania,
The view down is clever. The composition is well chosen, with excellent combination of light and colors and perfect deep depth of field. I like the clear dark blue color of sea water because it contrasts nicely with the brown rocks in the foreground. The overall composition with the view between the rocks is very good. Bravo. Have a nice day.

Bonjour Ourania
Un joli point de vue dominant qui donne le vertige
J'apprécie l'équilibre ombres et lumières
C'est un bel endroit à visiter
Bonne soirée
Bien cordialement

Ciao Ourania,
la compo è semplice ma ben composta, il POV è mozzafiato e il mare cobalto è affascinate e misterioso, luce molto forte ma gestita a modo...avrei abbassato un pò i tempi di scatto e dato più profondità per dare più dettagli sulla spiaggia in fondo....
un caro saluto...
Valter
