Great shot Hercules, I love the orange lichens on the foreground rock and the contrast with the deep blue sky. Excellent POV too, framing the white town between the mountains.

Ryno

Hi Hercules,
The right part of this image with the white houses/blue shutters under the bright sun tells about Greece, but where I see great added value to this image is with the left rocky foreground with its orange/red tones, you found a great pov to mix those too into a very enjoyable and well exposed image.
Have a nice day JY

Hi Hercules,
I like how the rocks dominates the foreground, nice pov projecting a village in between mountains. I like the color of this shot, superb contrast. The thing that i like most is the sky.
Best Regards

Hello Hercules
Your excellent POV emphasises the position of the Hora - enfolded by rocky slopes on both sides. Using the rocks in close-up has also provided the opportunity to make the orange colour of the lichen a major feature of the shot - balancing the strength of the blue in the sky perfectly.
Terrific!
Best wishes...Maggie

Hallo Hercules!
This is an interesting and impressive sight o this remarkable village. The contrast between the rocks and these white houses is stunning. Living there obviously is not easy but somehow the scenery is very homey. This must be a very special place...
Thank you for the excellent note and additions!
Greetings from sunny Germany!

Really superb shot of high contrast and color mix. The FG rocks color and texture really highlights the white buildings. Blue sky is giving it a cheerful mood.

Ηρακλή καλημέρα

Καταπληκτικά χρώματα η φωτογραφία σου. Πραγματικά μοιάζει σαν πίνακα ζωγραφικής. Αυτή η αντίθεση του πορτοκαλή των βράχων με το μπλε του ουρανού είναι μοναδική. Εξαιρετικό κάδρο και ευκρίνεια για μια ακόμη φορά.
TFS.

Bye

Kalispera Hercules.

Puede que sea porque ahora uso el ordenador de torre y no tengo bien calibrados los contrastes, pero en mi pantalla los blancos de las casas parecen un poco sobreexpuestos.

Con todo, la intensidad del colorido de la foto y sus contrastes (mira el cielo, la roca o el pueblo), así como su composición casi geométrica (mira el cielo, la roca o el pueblo), son muy buenos. Ah, eso y decir que el lugar es muy atractivo.

¿Viajas mucho últimamente?

kalispera Hércules (un dia de estos voy a traducir esto de kalispera ;P a ver que quiere decir)

Buena toma y colores, el punto des de donde está tomada es muy bueno para jugar con las lineas de la naturaleza en combinación con la arquitectura que ya nos has mostrado en otras fotos con anterioridad y que no me han dejado indiferente, voy a tener que hacer una escapadita a Grecia como nuestro amigo coco aún que él lo tiene algo más fácil... envidia cochina! ;P

Un abrazo, Jordi

Hi Hercules. This is a superb composition with the coloured rock in the foreground and the blue sky setting off the blue and white housing section so well. It looks like a very pleasant place to visit. Your comment on the 2,800 years of known history sounds similar to that of Milos. TFS. Murray.

Hola Hercules.
Lo impresionante de esta foto son los colores fuertes de las rocas en primer plano, hay un buen contraste con las casas de color blanco y el azul del cielo, tu POV es muy bueno y la foto tiene una excelente definición.
Felicitaciones.
Un fuerte abrazo.
