[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The town of Kotronas was founded in around 1500 BC. It emerged to become a major port. Kotronas was named by Homer. Part of the Spartan navy that sent out to Troy was stationed there. When the Dorians took over Laconia, Kotronas' role as a major port was replaced by Gytheio. In the Roman period, Kotronas fell with the rest of Laconia to the Romans. Under the Romans it enjoyed special privleges. In the Byzantine period Kotronas was not mentioned. Kotronas suffered greatly from pirate raids.

Hi Nikolaos,
With the lead-in lines, lovely drop of light on the house, low POV, well-thought composition and the delicious colours, this is an excellent photo. I'd love to live in such a place far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Congrats.

Hello Nikolaos!
Really wonderful image and nice colours, light and perspective in your picture!
Lovely effect!
Excellent done!
Best regards!

It's a lovely shot, without question.
I especially like the slow shutter speed which has given just the right amount of movement to the water. The colour tones are beautiful.
But...I think it needs a 2.75 rotation anti-clockwise....I've done a workshop to show you, hope you don't mind!
Cheers
Brian

Hi Nikolaos,
Wow, this looks like it could be a painting...very warm and natural light on this historic place. Great lighting and just enough contrast to bring out some of the detail. Very nice and TFS. Gerald

Νίκο καλησπέρα,
η παραλία του Κότρωνα απ'ότι βλέπω είναι όνομα και πράγμα.Έχεις πετύχει μιά πολύ καλή λήψη με εξαιρετική οξύτητα, φως και χρώμα.Ο ουρανός είναι ονειρώδης και το γλυκό φως που πέφτει στο σπίτι το αναδυκνύει ευχάριστα.Πολύ καλό και το σημείωμά σου.

Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,Δάνος

Γεια σου Νίκο!

Φανταστικο τοπίο που αναδεικνύεται ακόμα περισσότερο από την εξαιρετική σύνθεση και προοπτικη ( Η γραμμή που σκάει το κύμα ξεκινάει από το ιδανικό σημείο). Η αργή ταχύτητα είναι ένα ακόμα στοιχείο που εντυπωσιάζει καθώς και τα καταπληκτικά, "ζεστά" χρώματα. Συγχαρητήρια!

Very interesting colors and lines. I agree with Brian's workshop to correct the tilt of the building; it was bothering me.

I like the use of a slow shutter to give just a touch of blur to the water, too.
