Photographer's Note

Mandrakia

Mandrakia,are a fish village with a small beach of almost 150 meters with dark grey pebble and visitors are impressed with its traditional color. Here you see the "sirmata" that are small lodges,in front of the little harbor,in which the boats are drawn from the sea and placed in during the Winter. A lot of fishermen, the summer period change "sirmata" in rural residences

The tourquise color of the transparent water is enchanting.

Fantastic warm vs cold colour contrasts between the red fg boat especially, and the blue cyan sea & sky. Superb sharpness & a nice high pov. The diagonal line of the boats & their repetition enhance the composition by adding dynamism. Tfs!

πολύ όμορφη και εντυπωσιακή σκηνή από το μικρό λιμανάκι του χωριού με τις βαρκούλες να είναι τόσο όμορφα αγκυροβολημένες δημιουργώντας ένα όμορφο σκηνικό.Τα χρώματα και το φως αναδυκνύουν το ειδυλλιακό αυτό χωριό της Μήλου.

jacquest (14176) 2012-04-03 4:33

Hello Danos,

A beautiful small port indeed. I like the view from above which allows to see through the water. The framing is very good and the oblique line of boats catcles the eye. The colors are well rendered and the sharpness is excellent to present this peaceful mood.

Best regards

Καλημέρα.
Όμορφη, λιμανάκι κρυμμένα ανάμεσα στους βράχους. αλλά όπως βλέπω εδώ μπορεί να επηρεάσει μόνο ένα μικρό σκάφος, το νερό δεν είναι βαθιά. αλλά έχει ένα όμορφο χρώμα ζαφείρι. Εξαιρετική ποιότητα εικόνας.
Δικός σου.

Hi Danos,
boats, boats everywhere:))) In fact, there's no more photogenic subject than a colorful boat in the sea, a sure eye-catcher if the angle is right, just like yours:)
Pretty composition with a sunny mood!
Cheers

ourania (12427) 2012-04-03 11:59

Καλησπέρα Δάνο,
δεν ξέρω τι να πρωτοθαυμάσω, τη θέα ή την αισθητική και ποιότητα της φωτογραφίας. Οι διαγώνιες γραμμές δίνουν δυναμισμό και βάθος στο ήρεμο τοπίο. Το φως είναι υπέροχο και το έχεις διαχειριστεί εξαιρετικά, διατηρεί μια ευχάριστη ισορροπία με τα σκιερά μέρη, διαγράφει το ανάγλυφο των βράχων, αναδεικνύει τη διαύγεια της θάλασσας και κάνει τα χρώματα να λάμπουν. Θαυμάσια φωτογραφία, συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλό βράδυ,
Ουρανία

agulberk (3792) 2012-04-03 12:51

Hello Danos,

You're capturing well this lovely small port by a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see clean water and some tasteful boats which are at anchor to the small bay. It's impressive in the rock which encloses the circumference of port, too.
Have a nice day!

Kind regards,
mikio

Hi Danos,

The distance between the boats and the opposite shore is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the boats. The good luminosity is making the colors to stand out. Have a nice day.

Bonjour Danos,
des eux limpides, on en boirait. Petite marina très calme où sont attachés des barques de fortune et petits bateaux. Havre pour les pêcheurs modestes dans un environnement tellement paisible.
Magnifiques couleurs.

Oh my god, Danos, what a beautiful photo!!

Just Stunning!! First Class Photo Danos!! Bravo!!

tober (8748) 2012-04-04 11:41

Hi Danos, seems to be a silent and protected area for those resting boats. Your higher PoV gives us an overall idea about the topography of the region. Best regards.

clic (11033) 2012-04-04 15:33

Sorry for my delay to answer to your kind words Danos.
You had the best seat for an overlook in cove set as a jewel between mountains.
Those pristine waters constitute a quiet recess for boats and the underground garages blue doors complete the instructive scenery.
Se xereto.
Robert

foozi (7101) 2012-04-04 17:01

This is a very crowded scenery, in the hands of an average photographer this shot would most possibly be a chaotic composition but thanks to your artistic vision and technical excellency you turned this scenery to a very well balanced and perfect composition. I liked it a lot. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes,

Καλησπέρα Δάνο,
Τι να περιγράψω βλέποντας αυτο το μέρος. Λατρέυω όταν η θάλασσα είναι τοσο καθαρή και γαλήνια και οι βάρκες φαίνονται λες και κρέμονται. Εισαί πολύ τυχερός που είχες την δυνατότητα να φωτογραφίσεις ένα τέτοιο λιμανάκη.
Να έχεις ένα καλό Σ/Κ.
Χαιρετισμούς,
Μαρία

macjake (39235) 2012-05-19 12:57

Hi Danos
what really strikes my curiosity are the garages on the left side of the frame, built into the hillside, thats really unique.
the small port does carry alot of charm and I can see why people enjoy this spot.
nice warm photo
cheers
craig

PaulVDV (15017) 2012-07-27 4:02

Hello Danos,
A beautiful inlet of the sea created a nice small natural harbour. The sea does not appear to be very deep there. Probably the crystal clear water is the cause of this impression.
The small port is framed well with boats at both sides.
Best regards, Paul

RegisMinot (1541) 2012-10-08 15:54

Hello Danos,
Blue is definitively the colour of Greece. Here is a small port with authentic embankments and small boats which inspire a feeling of authenhticity: they all seem ready to be used by local fishermen. Nice angle of view also.
