From a sleepy fishing village with a picturesque small harbour and an ancient monastery, in the early 1970s, Ayia Napa has become a favourite resort to thousands. Today, even the locals can lose themselves in their own village having been converted into one of the largest resorts of the island. The secret of its success are its beaches of white sand and crystal clear water. Its rugged bays and coves are like nowhere else in Cyprus. And are spread over a coastline extending for 3 miles...


...taken somewhere between limanaki and nissi beach in ayia napa... see the workshop for the complementary shot...

An image so full of nice lines - of all sorts and shapes - so many different triangles bikini bottom, pipes, shadows arms, legs, stairs, under stairs and this glorious colour ....nicely seen Korkut!

merhabalar,
"eye-catching" dedikleri tam olarak bu olsa gerek...renklerin canlılığı ve "manken"in varlığı fotoğraftaki heyecanı artırıyor..
elinize sağlık

Hi Korkut,
I wonder how ready you were to take this shot! Perfect in all details :) and especialy yellow colour is great with red together. Superb summer picture.
best regards,
Stanislav

Wow a spot of summer in a grey fall, that's so pleasant for my eyes!
Sabrina

Bonsoir Korkut
jolie prise ! j'aime bien le dynamisme de la couleur jaune, le graphisme de l'escalier et l'ombre de la femme. Bel ensemble.
Xavier

Incredibly bright shot with beautiful colours.
Happy and carefree atmosphere.
Congratulations

Hi Korkur
A strange shot ! The yellow colour is very important here. Nice opposition between the woman and the shadow.
Cheers

workshop u görünce dumur oldum, burası orası mı, orası burası mı inanamadım valla:) kocaman sapsarı bir bina hayal etmiştim oysa. Bravo

Very beautiful photo and moment Korkut...The deep yellow color is very attractive together with the woman enjoying a simple summer moment.Her shadow is a great bonus...bravo!

fotoğrafın ismi yeterince etkilideğil. bence 'sarı sıcak'olmalı

The yellow seams to be the dominant colour in town. The play between the woman and her shadow is excellent as it is also excellent the position of the stairway across the frame. Well done.
Antonio

Hi Korkut,
Excellent contrast in colours and a very good composition. The shadow of the woman is a big part of the success of this image. Well seen and well done.
Cheers Grant

Hello Korkut
An attractive compo with the vivid yellow wall and the stairs creating a nice diagonal. I like the shadow of the woman (she is maybe the lifeguard!) light, colors and framing.
Have a nice day

Hi Korkut,
Bright light and vivid colors... a woman takes off the sand and salt with a hose... nice holiday settings! This colorful BG is a real eye catcher, as exposure is spot on and details and textures well preserved in this bright sunlight
Greetings

merhaba korkut bey
bu nasıl bir sarı renk böyle gerçekten o kadar çarpıcıki insan bakarken gözleri kamaşıyor.model bayanın duş alırken durşu ve gölgesi güzel bir görüntü oluşturmuş.ayrıca mükemmel bir netliğe sahip bir kare elinize sağlık.

Martı konmuş da dikkatli gözlerle gözlemciliğe geçmiş bile...
Eh, bununla benim gibi "renkten düştün" diyen densizlere de "cevabı böyle yapıştırırım işte" diyorsun. Eyvallah :))
Galeride bulunduğu sayfada direkt olarak üstüne atlanarak açma ihtiyacı uyandıran bir fotoğraf. Bunda da ateşli tartışmalar dönecek ve bu da "Beauty and the Beach" gibi ana sayfa gediklilierinden olacak mı bakalım... Sanmam, çünkü bunda fazla pudra yok. Selülitler bile belli :)))

Something we usually do but I've never thought in taking a picture so...my compliments.

Excellent colours!

Korkut'cugum, birbirinden ruhsuz, birbirinden kotu fotograflarin kimsenin ilgisini cekmeyince, begenilmeyince bu yola basvurdun sanirim. Ben bu fotografta konusulacak hic birsey gormuyorum. Ne grafik degeri var, ne o aci sari, kirmizi ve kiremit rengi kombinasyonu goze carpici gorunuyor, ne de kizin heykel gibi zarif pozu ve su damlalarinin bacaklardaki golgesi estetik. Ben burada sadece ciplak bir kiz goruyorum, zaten thumbnailde de kizi gordugum icin atlayip actim. Eger bana yanit olarak "Dervisin fikri neyse zikri de odur", "Senin o ayrintilari gorecek gozun zaten yok, tatsiz tuzsuz fotograflarindan belli" ya da "Psikolojide bunun bir adi var" filan dersen cok darilir, sinirlenirim. Dun Unlu Ressamlar diye bir kitap aldim. Bir suru para verdim ama eve gelince ne goreyim, bir suru ciplak kadin resmi var! Nasil sinirim bozuldu bu ahlaksizliga anlatamam. Ustune de bu fotografi gorunce aklimi kacirdim. Dupeduz mustehcen, hic bir fotograf degeri olmayan bu fotografa simdi verecegim puan sirf sana acidigim icin olacak. Ayrica sana workshopta kendi cektigim 2 sahaseri yolluyorum. Lutfen onlara dikkatle bak, ders al ve oyle seyler cekmeye gayret et, tamam mi canim?

Merhaba Korkut,
Simple beachside scene, what makes the shot here is this bright yellow background that helps the thumbnail flash and the lady stand out, also it severely brightens a dull november day, for that alone big thanks :-)

Geia sou bostani!

She seems to have passed too much time below the sun, she is a little bit "burned" so the shower is not only for removing the salt but also for relief! Great daily life scene, great composition, and fantastic colours in the background. Congratulations!

Hi Korkut,
a refreshing view !
I like a lot the vivid yellow and the graphism added by the stairs.
Good compo also, your model and her shadow are well disposed in the frame.

sarının insan gözünün algıladığı ilk renk olduğunu göz önünde bulundurursak.
sarı yoğunluğunun çok doğru bir karar olduğunu düşünüyorum.çok akıllı bir adamsınız. ben size boşuna en muhteşem favorimsiniz demiyorum di mi ?
zaten bu sarı da nedir diye atladım fotoya.
bu sarının önüne dikat çıplak demiyorum müstehcen bir foto dahi eklense sarı dikkati çeker.

bu fotoyu a acayip yorumlayanları düşündüm de; sanırım herkes anlayabildiği kadar bir varlığa sahip şu koca dünyada.
tebrikler...
ellerinize sağlık..

Hi Korkut,
Excellent picture, nice and sharp, a perfect model for the occasion, she stands out against the yellow BG. Excellent note as well.

I missed this one. Very nice colors and composition. The stairs withthe red rail on the yellow background are a nice pattern for the background. Then the human figure makes a perfect contrast.

You surprise me with every new post of yours, Korkut. What a stunning yellow beating on my face and making me blind. What a superb capture of the lady under the stairs performing a shower duet with her shadow. A delicious image.
Cheers,

Hi Korkut,
Splendid coloured summer impression the composition is very effective and spectacular. I like the full of life atmosphere and the many superb details. Colours are fantastic, really effective and creative work, I like it very much. Have a nice weekend
George

Hi Korkut,

yes, I believe we both thought about the same subject at the same time. You really have good photography sense and taste! I'm in a doupt about what is more attractive in this one: the yellow background or her sexy pose :) Probably both. Love this shot. Great view!!!
Regards,
Carlos
PS: thanks for your words on my last post.

Keşke bu resmi kırmızı, mavi, yeşil serisine ekleseydin. Çok çarpıcı olmuş. Çok da estetik. Bu resme bakip tahrik olanların Trekearth'de ne işi var anlamdım. Sanal alem onlar için binlerce başka siteyle dolu halbuki.

Merhaba Korkut

lovely colours,a nice composition

with good contrast and good sharping

Perfect combination of colours and lines my friend.
All the situation (even her brown colour) gives perfect the feeling of the heat.
I like very much her shadow on the wall.

Great shot Korkut. I also read your note with interest, as Ayia Napia is probably the only part of Cyprus where I haven't been. I find it worrying that they're turning the whole island into a sleazy tourist resort. I believe they now even have development plans for the once pristine Dipkarpaz peninsula - a big shame. Anyway, to get back to your photo, I like the colours and the shadow here. You've caught the moment beautifully. Good work!

Merhaba Korkut,
Amazing colours and graphical arrangement. I like the shadow a lot, but I wonder why have you included that human shape on the left. :D Maybe it's only because her lines fit well the rest of the compo, is it?

Hi Korkut,

I had a choice of two colourful shots and this is the one for me, I don't really know why! I like the diagonal lines formed by the stairs and the handrail. The lady's shadow fills the middle part of the shot and the bright yellow really sets everything off. It's a very fine capture my friend and very well seen.

Regards

Stephen

More than 1100 views in 4 days! well, this is what one would expect from a shot like this:)) ...but of course the graphic qualities of the shot are outstanding, otherwise you wouldn't have posted it in the first place I think, the shadow looks fantastic on this bright yellow wall, great framing with the stairs, one of your favourite elements as far as I can see...

Cheers

A great picture, my prefered i guess from those i discover tonight in your gallery, a real gem, hhmmm this yellow
summerissim picture :)

Hi Korkut!
So, you visited even this terrible Ayia Nappa place! I wonder if there is any mass tourism hell where you have not been yet. I really miss the critical tone about this place in your note! Don’t tell me, that you liked it there!
Furthermore I think that hattori is right: You are an evil paparazzi, lurking around, making photos of half naked ladies and posting them in the net behind there back. Shame on you!!! I think, you should post more flags instead of insulting innocent people. That would be definitely more honourable!
Apart from your toothless note and filthy paparazzism it´s just a great photo. Together with “walking the red carpet“ it’s your best Cyprus shot so far I think. The way you captured and postprocessed your subject is really unique. The ground, on which she stands, looks tilted though: :-)

Regards
Andreas

Korkut,
In your recent posts, I choose this one, not only for the beautiful woman you caught here :o)
Colors are just wonderful, this yellow is a perfect eyecatcher, and the thumbnail is perfectly representing the graphics of the image.
BEautiful job,
Regards,
JB.

Not only the background graphic is good, but the subject itself is so attractive with her cute butt. The shadow of her is very nice too. Well done. Sothy

Hello Korkut,
Really eye catching for so many reasons, the graphics to start withg, the light and the strong yellow color, and the girl also, why not say it.!.
I really enjoy this lovely one - Izzet

Lots of nice pictures to choose from in your gallery Korkut.

The Yellow got me here. The yellow and the lady. I'm weak, I know. But it's not about her alone, it's about how she completes the composition perfectly. It's the life she brings, the shadow she casts, it's the water adding dynamism. The yellow, so vibrant and the red mixing so well with the yellow.

The snorkeling equipment is a nice detail in the right corner. Would have it been possible to make it more visible with some magic in photoshop? Would be good.

With all those lines going in every directions, I guess it was hard to find the right angle. I see the floor seems tilted. But I also see that you wanted to have those nice 45 degrees angle with the diagonals. Plus there is this ceiling on the upper left that is square with the frame, which is good. So, it must have been a hard decision to make.

Beautiful work!

Marc

Amazing capture of very vivid and intense colour:) interesting composition with diagonal element of stairs.

This shot is amazing for color, POV, sharpness, details (as the diagonal stairs) and, last but not least, the subject. As a woman I don't agree with the remarks on "paparazzi" (by the way: I could not understand if these critics were serious since the conversation was held in Turkish... it would be VERY nice to be able to follow it having English as a common language!) since this beautiful lady was in a public place and surely choose to gracefully wear a small bikini and take a shower outside, where she could be seen by everybody. Don't be more "kingist" than the King! (bad translation for an Italian motto... "più realisti del Re", in my interpretation means she does not need any "defender").
Best regards
Marica

Hi korkut,
very wonderful and lighting colours and excellent composition. I love this yellow / red combination, a very good shot.
Well done. TFS
