[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photograph is devoted to Natalija, Marija's (MayaG) daughter which stole my heart, like her mother did with her photographic skill and ideas.

Marija my friend I wish you all the best for you and little Nadja, I know you love Kyparissia, so I guess you have seen this one as well in your latest trip.


For the lovers of night, I have this version.

Info about Kyparissia you may read in my previous posts.


About the shot:
===========================
As you well know, this POV is my favorite from that place. So I worked with it several times in different times.
However the original JPEG shot in my workshop has nothing to do with this one here.


Post Processing notes:
======================
- RAW squeeze
- WB warm
- HDR local adaptation method to restore black areas
- Luko USM
- A couple of masks over some noisy areas, where NR filters applied
- Frame + Title for the final touch
- TE JPEG optimization

Hi, Stelios,
A lovely painting-like shot with a nice view and smart peep from the gap in this ancient wall.
The sea is so inviting!

Γεια σου Στέλιο
Ούτε νύχτα αλλά ούτε και ημέρα ησυχάζεις βλέπω. Παρ' όλο τον κόντρα ήλιο τα κατάφερες με τις λεπτομέρειες των σκοτεινών περιοχών. Υπεροχα και τα χρώματα σε μια δύσκολη (προφανώς επιδιωκόμενα) φωτιστικά στιγμή.
Χαιρετώ
Χρήστος

Πολυ διαφορετικη η αισθηση που σου δινει το μερος κατα την διαρκεια της μερας.Εαν και η νυχτερινη ειναι πολυ εντυπωσιακη και αυτη εδω ειναι αρκετα attrctive!
Πολυ σωστη η επιλογη σου Στέλιο, να βαλεις και τον ηλιο ξοφαλτσα στο καδρο.Αυτο ειναι και το σημειο που μ'αρεσει περισσοτερο στην φωτογραφια...κατι που οι περισσοτεροι θα ειχαν αποφυγει...
Ειπε κανεις οτι στις τοπιογραφιες δεν μπορεις να κανεις "δημιουργικη" δουλεια ;)

σε χαιρετω φιλε,
Θωμάς

Hi Stelios.
This shot is great,also night version,both are incredible.Excellent view and POV,the upper wall of the stone eye seems the prolongation of the sunrays with these golden grooves.Colours and light are perfect,so very good shot and very good PP too.It has so many sharpness that I can almost see the waves out to sea..;)
Best regards,
Sonsoles.

Oh dear Stelios! What a wonderful surprise, Nadja is delighted someone thought of her, Thank you so much!!

You are a person with a big heart, I could see it from your first posts and comments. Its an honour to have you as a friend!

Another greeting from the WS to show you we did like this wonderful view!

lots of kisses and hugs from both of us!

I like your series of this place, both day and night are great, your framing really is an eye catcher. another great shot. Well done.

hi Stelios

Very perfect timing to catch this sun beam just at the edge of natural frame you used of this opening. Good window view of such a superb capture beyond the castle. I like this shot.

tfs, bill

Έκρυψες τον ήλιο και το αποτέλεσμα είναι εξαιρετικό. Φωτεινότητα, καθαρά χρώματα, μεγάλο βάθος και πολύ ρομαντισμός.

Σε χαιρετώ, Γιώργος.

Double difficulty: from inside toward outside (so the inside is in shade) and with the sun agaisnt you! And in spite of all those difficulty the photo is perfect!
Apart from tecnical data, I like the composition, it's a very beautiful landscape.
My best compliments,
Donato

Very nice picture with the sunshine through the stone gate (or the cave).

Well done,

Both are great but the night view is more ...fascinating for me

Hello again, Stelios!
The day version is magic, too!
Beautiful effect, great colour, clarity and perspective!
Ciao!
Lili

Hello Stelios,
The light hitting the rock window is very beautiful, perspective that has made the rock window a frame is also excellent.
A circle rainbow occurred in the lens has added to the good attraction. Excellent post processing!
Have a nice day, Hisashi

i am trying to look at it with my left eye closed as a reflex>:P... it is surprising to see all the rich details despite the hursh light... very nice stelio mou...

Hello Stelios
These two photographs of day as of night are superb.
I have a preference for that of night.
But for both it is excellent work.

Marc

Hi Steliosk!!!

It's amazing photo !

You have found a wonderful place to take some stunning images. I like your night shots from here too and comparing the two night shots I must say how well you have progressed in the intervening year. There is so much more sharpness in the second one, although you didn't have the orange colour from the setting sun.
You have handled the light very well in this one and placed the sun nicely on the edge of the rocks. You even made a feature of the slight lens flare. The HDR looks natural and you make a good case for the use of RAW. I think there are still some areas of noise, which doesn't matter too much at this size, but I'm not sure what the full size is like. Maybe that is why bracketing is still advocated in many quarters.
I didn't mention the composition. I love the use of natural framing in an image and appreciate the difficulty of sharpness with this depth in a scene. I'm surprised this is only f7.1. You must have chosen your focal point very carefully, as is looks sharp front to back. Excellent work
Kath.

Frankly Stelios, although this is good I prefer the previous one by night...a question of tastes I guess!

This one is also wonderful but I prefer the night photo more than this one.
TFS and post more new attractive photos like aways.
