Γειάσου Δάνο, μάλλον το έχω ξαναδει σε καρτ ποσταλ αλλά μπορεί και όχι, βέβαια δεν έχει σημασία, εδώ που κοιτάω αυτό το θαύμα της φύσης εκπλησομαι από τη μαγεία της.
Η καταγραφή από μέρους σου τέλεια-πεντακάθαρη.
Καλό βράδυ.

Danos,
This is an excellent shot of this interesting rock formation. Your composition and POV is fine showing the free standing formation along with the cliffs behind it. The opening at the bottom attracts the eye through the main subject giving the shot nice direction. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

Hello Danos

I find myself fascinated with landscapes like this, whether in photos.

Mother Nature at some point thought of us as photographers, in offering whimsical scenarios like this, full of colorful and majesty. The frame holds a large balance, the rock formation has some magnificent colors, and that the blue sky is spectacular. Congratulations.

Geia sou Dano,
It is one of Milo's most spectacular places and you perfectly got it. The shadows emphasize well the relief of rocks, the reflections on the calm sea are discreet but very present and there is an attractive dialogue between the sky and the cliff.
Bravo, mou aressi para poli!

Great shot of this unusual rock formation. The lighting coming from the side allows us to see the ruggedness of the rocks, and the water level view shows us how impressive this rock is from the bottom. Very dramatic and beautiful!

HI Danos! Great shot for a wonderful place. Beautiful POV that emphasize the high rocks of the arch, it's a pity that from here you can only guess the colors and the clearness of the water!

Όμορφος σχηματισμός, ιδανικός για φωτογράφηση. Το κάδρο πολύ καλό με καλή διαχείριση του φωτός. Η Ελλάδα είναι πραγματικός θησαυρός. Απαραίτητη η αφιέρωση σε εκείνους που εκδηλώνουν την αγάπη τους για την πατρίδα μας.
Να είσαι καλά. Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,

Hello Danos,
it seems the rocks are divided by a mirror!! beautiful and almost perfect symmetry with the rocks so well standing against the sky. You also managed to catch a good light which allowed you to deliver a beautiful shot with soft and natural colours while the quality is excellent throughout.
Thanks for sharing and have a great week end.

Hello Danos
These impressive rocks in FG are looking like twins! Yes, this island looks great and I would not mind to have a bath in the transparent and crystal water(your ws shows it very well). I also like to see through the arch down the rock...
Have a nice sunday ;)

ChrisJ (70125) 2008-02-17 0:30

Hi Danos

I like the textured lighting, on the 2 large symmetrical rocks, & the superb sharpness & colour. The small arch & hole in the centre adds interest. Well done!

Jakab (3466) 2008-02-17 8:32

Hello Danos,
it is a really impressive view of the majestic rocks in the middle of the sea. I feel the next moment Odysseus will appear from behind the rock on his ship and start to tell his famous stories on the endless voyage.

Belle photo de ces superbes rochers sculpté par les meilleurs des sculpteuses,le vent et l' eau,ils font de ces sculptures magnifiques, a un tel point qu' il est difficile de croire qu' aucune main extérieure ne soit venues les aider.

A nice image of the rock formation and of the sea under a beautiful sky, the point of view is showing the details and colors of the rocks. The photo is clear and precise. The luminosity is good giving a soft tone to the colors. have a nice day.

jorgi (3798) 2008-02-19 5:14

Hi Danos,

you made a beautiful dedication for Diane. This rocks are not only most marvelous bathing in warm sun, to me they look like a very in love couple leaning to each other. I guess that is why I like photography so much, cause everybody sees different quality and meaning in it. I like this capture also because of most natural colours and excellent balance of the main motive.

Kind regards,
Jeri

Ces rochers sont extraordinaires et font penser à un combat de géants des mers pétrifiés par quelques chants de sirène. La couleur émeraude de la mer est superbe. La Grèce est un merveilleux pays, non ?

snowfalken (1108) 2008-03-03 1:12

Hello Danos,

This is a great presentation of these rocks! By composing the picture with a low horizon line you emphasized the greatness of the rocks. I like the layering that is visible and the nice shapes the water has been carving along the ages. I almost missed one tiny detail which I found to be important: the ship that is visible through the hole in the rocks. Or is it something else? Really well done with a well suited frame! Thank you!

With Friendly Regards,
Eddie
