Very interesting choice shooting this very familiar place in black and white, instead of the usual blue and white.
It has really paid off! I really like the composition, the lines are strong and well defined. The effect of the water is icing on the cake!

Bravo!

Very good perspective for this photo! In B&W opens a new dimension for it.

Bell'idea il B&N. E te lo dice uno che lo odia ;-) forse andrebbe un po' ruotata in senso orario. Non riesco a capire se il contrasto tra le curve morbide a dx con le linee rette del resto della foto mi piace o no.

Linda fotografía ,pero si le pones un poco de azul al mar sería grandiosa.

Nice game of shapes and shadows. I like the lines of the stairs, that white edges.

oh yes.. nice BW, a lot of beautiful grey tones with nice light on the sea... simple and then very effective picture !

Lines and shapes very imaginatively used in this BW composition. The sparkling sea at the end of it adds a nice touch. Good BW tones.

A very good b/w shot. Almot a classic view from Greece. A very good DoF, and I like the cyves, lines and the perspective in this photo. I also like the glows on the water. Well done, Paolo.

Using a BW image on this motive is indeed creative because no one resists to show the contrasts of the pure white with the blues common in this region! And so I must like this image a lot!

Besides that, the POV is very nice with all those geometriccal lines contrasting with the free shapes of the sea.

Whilst all your colour photoes are stunning you have shown here that a switch to B&W can also produce a simple pattern shot with impact. Pity someone screwed a light in the middle of the wall.

Bella Paolo, sono d'accordo con danielswalsh, è davvero interessante un BW quando tutti si sforzano di trovare i blu più blu e i bianchi più bianchi a Santorini.
L'effetto è originale ed interessante.

strana scelta del bianco e nero nella patria delle cartoline colorate per eccellenza! ...e forse, proprio per questo, decisamente interessante e originale. bravo!
