Hola Kostas!
I like this job. The family walking by night on this road with this water mirrors, and the red and blues lights, gives a special atmosphere. You have done a good job with lights and composition. At first time I was not agree with this central composition, I would prefer the family on a third of the picture to gives some dynamism, but finnaly I found interesting this central composition. It's more graphic, and we can see the contrast colours between the clothes of the girl and her mother (red and blue) and the lights.

Good job,

Javier

Γεια σου Κώστα
Πολύ όμορφη η φωτογραφία σου, ίσως λίγο μελαγχολική και σίγουρα με αρκετό μυστήριο (ποιος, που, πότε, γιατί. Πολύ καλή η διαχείρηση του φωτός και ζεστά χρώματα. Εξαιρετική αποτύπωση της καθημερινότητάς μας. Ευχαρισούμε για την παρουσίαση.
Χαιρετώ
Χρήστος

Cold rain and warm lights - interesting combination.
There is a beauty in that diagonal composition and soft colours.
Atmospheric photo.

Hello Kostas,

Reflected wet ground creates a splendid view while visitors are passing. I like different colored of reflections and pools on the road as main textures of your frame. A wonderful photo, congratulations.

Best Regards,

Hi Kostas, the composition is very good, with the blue light on the top left, the people and their shadows in the centre and bottom, and the blue streak coming down the top right. The black frame in this case enhances the shot, by containing it in this neutral colour. I like the colour of the wet pavement, and the contrast between it and the blue light.

Thanks, John

Kalispera Kosta,
After the rain, the ground textures become dramatically attractive indeed.
And those night lights, those walking figures, those reflections... Whenever i see them, i cannot help but press the button. The high POV is another attraction here. But i cannot get why those four people prefer to walk just in the middle of the cadrage. I know, this is their fault... ;))
Ta leme,
Deniz

Γεια σου Κώστα!

Υπέροχη ατμοσφαιρική σκηνή, εξαιρετική "σκοτείνη" διαχείριση του φωτός, υπέροχες φωτοσκιάσεις και αντανακλάσεις στο βρεγμένο οδόστρωμα! Μια δύσκολη και αισθητικά άρτια λήψη! Συγχαρητήρια!

Γειάσου Κώστα,
οι φιγούρες των δύο ζευγαριών με αυτό το καδράρισμα δίνουν μια εντύπωση ενός χώρου που τονίζει την μοναχικότητα ή την δυαξιά-κατά το μοναξιά. -:)
Καλό βράδυ.

Κώστα καλημέρα,
ωραία χειμερινή φωτογραφία με το ζευγάρι και τα παιδιά τους να διέρχονται διαγώνια την βρεμενη πλατεία; και τα φώτα από νέον να καθρεφτίζονται στα λιμνάζοντα νερά.Μια φωτογραφία με δυναμική και κίνηση όπως επίσης με καλό φωτισμό και χρώματα.

Καλό Σαββατοκυριακο,Δάνος

Hello Kostas,
a well realized notturno - in such conditions! -with this central position of the people, giving sense of space and proportions. Nice contrasts and overall colouring!

Hello Dear Kostas,

A superb shot as usual of of a slice of everyday life, especially set against the background of he reflections on a wet sidewalk. It is accompanied by your typical engaging personal note.

Geia Sou Kostas,
as usual, a very clever point of view, amazing exposure adjustment and treatment, resulting in wonderful colours that make justice to the charming beauty of this street image. The perfection of the perspective and the graphical effect given by the rain is also remarkable. Bravo.
Kind Regards.

Hello Kostas,
Maybe it's the time of the day that you post, but to be honnest I've never seen your work, and I can tell you that after having a look at your gallery you have very interesting works, such as this one.
I like how you played with the light and the shadows here, how the wet floor reflects the light and parts of city, creating a very atmospheric shot.
The ghosty figures, besides being too centered IMO, give great life and interest to the photo.
Cheers.
Paulo
