Sunset in Naxos Photo

Photographer’s Note

Agios Prokopios: The most famous beach of Naxos, just 5km from Chora, has 2km in length. It is the third best beach in Greece and is concerned as one of the ten best beaches in Europe. It is a popular destination for lots of visitors. It is protected from the wind because it is situated in the southwest part of the island and the characteristic of the beach is the thin sand. Fine and white sand shapes to a row of small sand dunes. In the entrance of the beach overhangs the chapel of St.Prokopios, look far away the breathtaking view. The color of the clear crystal waters goes from blue to turquoise blue/azure and to aquamarine. Feast of colors. (www.naxos.gr)

Kalimera Vasilis,
such a lovely scene. Sitting there, drinking a glass Retsina (or two) and enjoy the sunset and the warm evening. I love this composition with the tables and the trees. Fine work, TFS

Geia sou Vasilis, this is another idyllic summer afternoon. I can imagine sitting there by the sea sipping a nice wine - or perhaps something stronger. I like the sillhouettes and the beautiful light on the water. Nice work, have a wonderful weekend, Lisa.

Visilis..hello...

the backlighting always tempts you to experiment and bring out the best that surriunds you...you done well here with the boat just on the verge of being blown out..youve wouldnt catch the definition of that boat had you been seconds late...

perhaps a little more isolation from the man against the tree..like it..overall

Hello Vasilis,
A very inviting scene with a nice natural frame of trees and the setting sun painting the water ever so nicely. The name of the beach made me go on Wikipedia to find out whether yours is the same St. Prokopius as the one who lived as a hermit in a cave in the valley not far from our place in Prague. But they were two different saints. One learns new things every day :-) Thank you and have a nice weekend, Dasha

Hello Vasilis.
This shot has been taken in full summertime.
Are the customers at risk of falling into the sea?
Nice shot with the setting sun.
Best regards.

Such a warm mood you present here! The atmosphere soaked into an orange and soft blue palette, and the silhouettes suggest a relaxed afternoon mood, i'd love to be sitting there right now.
All the best,
