ciao Dimitris,
particolare la tonalità dettata dal brutto tempo con una buona omogeneità cromatica tra mare e cielo.
La nave è un bel punto di colore nel grigio della scena,
ben fatto
buona giornata
maurizio

Bonjour, Dimitris,
Oh ! superbe prise de vue avec cette lumière presque divine éclairant le navire.
Le ciel et la mer se conjuguent admirablement.
Une réussite totale.
Amitiés.

Bonjour Dimitris,
Vraiment magnifique cette prise de vue avec un ciel menaçant. L'effet est spectaculaire et la lumière qui sort de je ne sais où et qui éclaire le bateau joue un rôle important pour la beauté de la photo. Excellente composition et parfait rendu des couleurs.
Toutes mes félicitations,
Emilius

Hallo Dimitris,
es sind gerade solche Situationen, wie Du sie beschreibst, in denen die spektakulärsten Bilder gelingen! Hier stimmt alles: die Komposition, die Kontraste, die Farben, die Beleuchtung und die unglaubliche Stimmung. Man glaubt zu hören, wie das Schiff durch das Wasser rauscht. Glückwunsch!
Herzliche Grüße aus dem eisigen Schleswig-Holstein,
Harriet

Hello Dimitris,

One can photograph this beautiful ferry boat with lovely colors and sharpness and you have taken full advantage of this gray sky to bring out the colors of the ferry. I like the atmosphere , colors and sharpness.

Καλησπέρα Δημήτρη,
υπέροχη, πολύ ατμοσφαιρική φωτογραφία! Είναι πολύ εντυπωσιακή η αντίθεση του λαμπερού πλοίου που ταξιδεύει μέσα στον βαρύ καιρό. Μου αρέσει πολύ η υφή της θάλασσας, οι αντανακλάσεις και ο τρόπος που φωτίζονται τα ογκώδη σύννεφα και η επιφάνεια του νερού. Ο φωτισμός δημιουργεί έναν εκπληκτικό σκοτεινό ορίζοντα!
Να είσαι καλά,
Ουρανία

Hallo Dimitris,
It is an impressive image! The ferry provides a good touch of color to this scene, in which the dark sea and the threatening clouds in the sky add a great dramatic effect to the composition.
A simply magnificent photo, executed well.
Best regards,
Josep

Γεια σου Δημήτρη,
Εξαιρετική η ατμόσφαιρα, το υπέροχο φως, η αντίθεση και τα ωραιότατα χρώματα σε μια πανέμορφη σύνθεση κάδρου.
Χαιρετίσματα, Βασίλης.

Hi Dimitris,

nice POV...superb clarity...good DOF controlled with nice color contrast & sharpness...

Prasun

saxo042 (31802) 2012-02-07 23:19

Hi Dimitris,
The weather feels very threatening, with all the heavy clouds in the sky. The red boat is a fine eye-catcher in this well composed capture.
Kind regards
Gunnar

Δημήτρη γεια σου,
πολύ γνωστό το στιγμιότυπο από την πορθμιακή γραμμή Ερέτριας-Ωρωπού,με την μόνη διαφορά τον ουρανό, που είναι τόσο γκρίζος αλλά και μοναδικός.Τα χρώματα του ferry boat δημιουργούν ένα τέλειο κοντραστ με τη μουντάδα του ουρανού και της θάλασσας.

Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

wolf38 (28226) 2012-02-08 1:06

Hallo Dimitris. Dunkles Meer, dunkel bewölkter Himmel, weißes Boot. Was für ein Kontrast. Alles wirkt etwas dramatisch bis surreal. Das Licht ist sehr gut pointiert. Und das Rot des unteren Schiffskörpers ist der entscheidende Farbkontrast, der dem Bild Spannung gibt. Gut gemacht, - und sehr schön anzusehen. Viele Grüße, Wolfgang.

ChrisJ (86932) 2012-02-08 1:43

Hello Dimitris,

A dark & moody atmosphere on account of the ominous black clouds. The boat adds a welcome splash of colour. Good sharpness & well composed. Excellent tonal range & well framed & composed. Tfs!

Cricri (86535) 2012-02-08 4:06

Hi Dimitris
Belle lumière qui filtre ce ciel dramatique, la lumière sur le bateau est fantastique, un grand contraste, une très belle réalisation
Belle journée
cricri

BennyV (12793) 2012-02-08 6:24

Hello Dimitris

Superb atmosphere, top sharpness & great colours. The red stands out wonderfully against the threatening textures of sea and sky. The only thing that bothers me a bit here is the traces of blue underneath the boat, that's where the PP seems to have tipped over a bit. A pity, in this otherwise really excellent shot.

Benny

sacimar (25957) 2012-02-08 8:01

Bonjour Dimitris,
quel ciel !! je suis fan.
Tellement contrasté, tellement dramatique.
Ce bateau semble se trouver dans le seule zone ensoleillée de la mer.
C'est impressionnant.

Ciao Dimitris,
Davvero stupenda, magnifica! Il traghetto così nitido sembra essere minacciato da un tempo che non promette nulla di buono. I contrasti sono bellissimi.
Un caro saluto.
Giorgio

VarthDader (326) 2012-04-04 10:00

Great work with the saturation, Dimitris! The red sticks out and breaks the monotony of the grey clouds and sea.

Cheers

Γεια σου Δημήτρη

Πολύ ιδιαίτερη ατμόσφαιρα σε αυτή την λήψη.Εξαιρετικά χρώματα και σκιές.Πολύ καλός φωτισμός που εγώ τον βρίσκω ιδανικό καθώς καταφέρνει να μας περάσει απόλυτα την ατμόσφαιρα. Συγχαρητήρια για την όμορφη δουλειά.

Καλό απόγευμα
Χρήστος

elenimavrandoni (5803) 2013-01-20 12:48

γειάσου Δημήτρη, εσπασε την σιωπή του γκρίζου το πέρασμα του πλοίου και έτυχε να είσαι εκεί!
Τα χρώματα του ουρανού και τής θάλασσας θυμίζουν ελαιογραφία σε μια σύνθεση μοναδική που για μενα εχει όχι μόνο αρτιστική αλλά και ποιητική αποθέωση!
καλό σου βράδυ,
Ελένη

abmdsudi (26311) 2013-01-23 7:12
