Ciao Vasilis,
amo questo tipo di controluce spinto, il risultato è quasi sempre bellissimo ed esce dai canoni della fotografia classica. Molto bello il sovrapporsi di piani diversi dal nero profondo al grigio chiarii del cielo.
Un caro saluto ed un buon WE.

Well done Vasilis!

Good play with the backlight to reveal the different layers of mountains, from black in the foreground to grey at the background. Silver sea.
Cheers
