Vasilis

An excellent capture of this old harbour. The boat is well positioned - pointing into the bottom corner and lying at a diagonal. Excellent lighting and capture of reflections. A very informative note too.

Καλησπέρα Βασίλη,
πολύ ωραία σύνθεση που με εξαιρετικό βάθος και προοπτική μας δίνει μια θαυμάσια ισορροπημένη και καθαρή άποψη του γραφικού λιμανιού. Η διαύγεια είναι μοναδική σε όλο το κάδρο, ακόμα και στη σκιά. Η ατμόσφαιρα χαρακτηρίζεται από ηρεμία και αρμονία. Μου αρέσουν πάρα πολύ οι αντανακλάσεις και ο τρόπος που το φως μεταλλάσσεται και παίζει με το νερό, τις βάρκες και τα δύο ακριανά κτήρια. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλό μήνα,
Ουρανία

Hello Vasilis - I like you POV and composition very much. Excellent detail and a beautiful location. I particularly like the last of the sun's warm rays falling on the yellow building and the super warm reflections on the water. A well managed shot and really attractive too. Warm regards rosemary

Kalimera dear Vasilis

Excellent vertical frame to emphasise the perspective and the slight distortion of the wide-angle lens. The port is wonderfully characteristic, so typically Mediterranean. Congratulations on the way you handled the light and shade conditions here, it really is top quality.

Η αντανάκλαση είναι η πιό όμορφη λεπτομέρεια σου!Ο φωτισμός δεξιά είναι γλυκός και προσθέτει μια αίσθηση απανεμιάς και σιγουριάς στο λιμανάκι. Πολύ όμορφη φωτογραφία!
