Na proibalnom pojasu, koji oplakuje kristalno more, u neposrednoj blizini Budve, nalazi se Svati Stefan, "Grad-hotel", jedinstven u svijetu. Kao da je izronio iz mora, elegantno pokazujuci svoje cari. Sveti Stefan je cudesan grad u kojem je na neobican nacin spojeno vrijeme proslo i sadasnje. Njegove gusto zbijene, kockaste kuce odslikavaju arhaican ambijent, budeci neku davnu romantiku zivljenja i, istovremeno, u sjaju i luksuzu enterijera tih istih malih usnulih kuca, nudi raskosne mogucnosti koje obezbedjuju buran nocni zivot na Jadranu, zadovoljavajuci kriterijume elitne klijentele.

Athe foot of the Lovcen mountain ridge, in one of the most exotic encounters of land and sea, stands the island of Sveti Stefan. As legend has it, a fort was built on the island in 1442 when it was first settled. The island was fortified by walls so families from the surrounding villages could find shelter from Turkish and pirate attacks. According
to legend, the settlement was founded after a Pastrovic band bested the crew of a Turkish galley, and with the booty they seized a fort was built with one house for each of the twelve Pastrovic clans. On the terrace above the entrance to Sveti Stefan for decades the Pastrovic court meted out justice and resolved disputes, the
spot known as the "place of justice".

Excellent work, Jose. The colors definitely establish the mood, the point of view with the red rooftops is a nice touch, and the note is informative. Great overall composition, though perhaps you have a bit more sky than necessary. TFS.

Hola Jose Manuel.
Tu foto es impresionante, sus colores tenuos del sol y el cielo reflejados en el mar estan magnificos. La captaste muy bien, con buena luz y foco.
Las casas en la parte anterior le dan una excelente perspectiva y profundidad. Muy buen marco natural con los arboles. Buen DOF.
Gracias por compartirla.

Great POV and composition. I did a workshop just to give a different outlook. Hope you like it.

What a beautiful setting, and well captured! The colour is great. I also like the composition, with the island at the left balanced by the sun and the islands at the right. Well done!

Beautiful pastel color, good light and a fine composition, the hoizon is a slight tilt to the left.

Hola hermanito Valenciano,
poco se te ve, per cuando se te ve, se te ve muy bién! vamos que felicidades por esta puesta de sol! Son típicas en TE pero si tienen algo diferente hay que decirlo, y esta lo tiene. ESta pequeña peninsula, la playa con sus amacas alineadas, la diferente luz en las montañas del horizonte, incluso los tejados rojos de las casas del primer plano, quedan bien en este paisaje. Felicidades, me gusta.

It is a quite good photo. However, you could add a little bit of contrast and crop the picture slightly at the bottom.
Rds,
Tomasz

The colour and the lighting you caught are wonderful. Excellent point of view too. Splendid work!

Regards John

Hi Jose

A superb lookout & vantage point, over this attractive, double bay. The sunset colors of pale pink magenta are wonderful with good sharpness & lighting. Congratulations!

Hola José Manuel.
Veo que tienes facilidades con los idiomas.
Pero sobre la foto: buen trabajo con la exposición. A contraluz e incluso podemos apreciar detalles de la costa. Además la composición me parece muy buena (claro, que no sé si lo que queda del Sol tan centrado me hace el peso).
Pero en definitiva, me gusta.

Un saludo.

hola Jose,
que buen paiseje desde punto de vista! debe ser fantastico al atardecer. Pienso que los colores rojos puedan ser más saturados para aumentar el efecto. en cualquier caso es una buena foto.
saludos,
Behrang

You travel a lot!!
Congratulations for your Greek!!
I should cut a part from the upper empty sky.
Any way it's a nice photo.
Have fun Spyros

Excellent shot of a magical landscape. Perhaps a little crop off the top would improve it even more. Congratulations Jose!

Is it a magic or illusion? I can not believe my eyes! Great photo, thanks...
