Hello Hercules

Wonderful !!!
Perfect close-up to bring lines and curves out.
The composition is brilliant, and the two main colours are so atractive.
A symbol of Santorin, compliments.

Hi Hercules,
Greek blue and white again well combined. Your title tells the essence of this image. Those curves are beautifully arranged together. Direction of light is good for showing slighly different shades of white.

Hello Hercules,
Maybe just a "detail", but a fine example of a kind of cooperation between architect and photographer. The curves of the white building, including the shade on the door, are very elegant. I also like the contrast between the curved shape around the door and the square framing of the window.
Kind regards,
Gert

merhaba hercules,

just two colours we have in this picture (B&W- blue and white) and you managed them perfectly, also your point of view is great, espicially the door at the top looks great, shape of walls give perfect shape to the door.
thanks for sharing

Hi Hercules!

This one is wonderful with a framing that enhances the minimalism, and the curves harmony. The colors, as a duo, are perfecting the enchantment. A charming dream-like vision, under a fabulous light. Great work!
Congratulations

josepmarin (55015) 2010-10-20 0:51

Hola Hercules
Impresionante contraste entre el blanco de la arquitectura, el azul polarizado del cielo y el azul de las ventanas.
Las formas lineales y curvadas de la arquitectura completan una composición sencilla, visualmente muy potente y con un espléndido grafismo.
Excelente trabajo, amigo.
Un abrazo,
Josep

guitianmiranda (5303) 2010-10-20 8:53

Simplicidad y pureza en un excelente contraste entre el azul oscuro y profundo y el blanco que simboliza junto con esas curvas el más puro estilo arquitectónico de las islas griegas.

Un saludo.
