Wet stones, a photo from Dodekanisos, South Aegean

Photographer's Note

Unlike the east, the west coast of the island of Rhodes is almost desert.On this side of the island exposed to the winds, the sea is always rough and there are no sandy beaches,but the water show beautiful colors.

SASSI BAGNATI

A differenza della parte orientale,la costa ovest dell'isola di Rodi è praticamente deserta.Su questo lato dell'isola esposto ai venti,il mare è sempre mosso e non ci sono spiagge sabbiose,in compenso si possono osservare dei colori bellissimi.

Hello Luciano - What a beautiful detail shot. The pebbles have a lovely array of colours and shapes and contrast well with the soft foaming water. Very good exposure control with good detail in the whites. Have a lovely Sunday. Rosemary

Hello Luciano,
What a great idea to capture these beautifully coloured pebbles. Excellent framing for this nicely lit composition. Superb rendering of the tones and textures. Makes a lovely abstract image fit enough to be hung on the wall.

Hi Luciano
They look like precious stones! I would be happy if a beach had no sand if instead it presented a beautiful array of colours like this. The image is so sharp, and the lighting perfect. Thanks for sharing!
Best wishes
Noel

Have a nice sunday

Ciao Luciano,

J'aime beaucoup cette composition. J'aime le point de vue très bas qui place celui qui regarde au niveau des roches. Les couleurs sont bien rendues et la mousse accompagne bien le tout.

Bon dimanche

Serge

Hi Luciano,
Beautiful indeed! I love it.. the colours are superb. I heard one Chinese saying once.. translated the meaning of it, is.. it's hard to buy the colour you see under the water, no matter how much you can afford..that means you can't get it, but you did. Well done.:-)

JFS (32107) 2012-10-21 9:43

Royaldevon (17791) 2012-10-22 5:27

Ciao Luciano,

You have produced a most accurate shot to explain the differences between the two coats. This very sharp and beautifully composed shot, illustrates the foaming nature of the sea and the profusion of different coloured, sea-smoothed pebbles.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

eldancer1 (17008) 2012-10-22 7:44

Awesome capture of the waves hitting the those beautiful stones. I can hear the roar of the ocean. Great lighting and dof with sharp details. Well done, tfs.

Kielia (20411) 2012-10-22 7:52

Ciao Luciano,
a simple but at the same time so powerful image! Very beautiful light and natural colors; the composition is also excellent. My compliments!
Warm regards

ciakgiak (30329) 2012-10-22 12:01

Ciao Luciano,
Ci vuole un bell'occhio per comporre un'immagine del genere, apparentemente non sembrerebbe un granché come situazione da fotografare, ed invece....
Complimenti, molto bella!
Un caro saluto
Giorgio

ourania (12343) 2012-10-22 12:57

Ciao Luciano,
bellissima foto dalla spiaggia a ciottoli colorati. Mi piace tantissimo la tua composizione elegante, la luce ed i colori che evocano un' atmosfera bella, calda, luminosa e spensierata. Mi porta in mente anche conversazioni lunghe sulla spiaggia durante le quali guardo i ciottoli e le onde. Hai moderato benissimo la luminosita e catturato la gradevole atmosfera. E' interessante che hai escluso il blu' completamente. Superba la nitidezza e le tessiture, splendida la vividezza. Complimenti e grazie!
Tanti saluti e buona notte,
Ourania

delpeoples (44904) 2012-10-22 16:42

Caro Luciano

I colori di questi sassi sono veramente affascinante. Vediamo anche verde con rosso, molto strano ma molto attraente. Mi piace la simplicitá della foto. L'immagine é nitidissima e ben colorata. Il cornice di nero é proprio una questione di gusti. A me, é un po piú pesante, ma questa é una piccola cosa.

Un abbraccio e bella nottata
Lisa

Sonata11 (28289) 2012-10-22 17:59

macjake (39227) 2012-10-23 5:08

Hi Luciano
a very simple style of photo, but thats not a negative thing at all as usually keeping it simple is what works most effectively.
your photo here is a perfect example of just that.
look how well it came out in the end...very bright and luminous rocks with perfect light, and a bit of foam to add some visual interest.
I like it.
cheers

Ciao Luciano,
me gusta la sencillez de tu composición, que sin embargo tiene una gran potencia visual, gracias al grafismo de las piedras, su bonita combinación con la espuma de las olas, y la fantástica luminosidad que has obtenido gestionando perfectamente la exposición.
Es una bella realización, caro amico.
Un abbraccio,
Josep

Ciao Luciano
Scusandomi per la mia lunga assenza e facendo in giro nelle varie gallerie degli amici di TE mi sono soffermato su questa tua foto che con grande semplicità e maestria hai reso unica. Molto bello il motivo ben disposto dal quale si riesce a percepire anche il movimento dell' acqua. Bella e nitida. Grazie Luciano per la condivisione.
Un sincero saluto ed augurio di buona serata ... Marino

jcpix (3261) 2012-11-05 15:09

Buono giorno Luciano,

The simple, close up composition makes for a lovely image. It's very sharp and colorful and the white foam lets you know that the water is in motion without needing a long exposure. I really like this presentation, kind of makes me feel like I'm at the beach waiting for the water to reach my toes. Well done!

Ciao,

Jason
