Photographer’s Note

This place is in Plaka

These ducks are permanent residents of this beach. If you go close to them they start to do this 'quack quack' sound and they all together run in to the sea.

Behind me, shooting the ducks is a very nice restaurant, which I suggest you visit if you happen to go there. It is called Eycalyptos. Don’t forget to order ‘haloumi’, you are going to love it!

hello Shama

Glad that you finally fixed the problem of 300kb and 800pixel with photoshop. This is a nice capture of ducks and a boat on the gravel beach with good composition. Depending on where your focus point will be, the sharpness seems to go on the boat? I would prefer the focus on the FG ducks as they make more interesting subject. But there is personal choice. Nice note written.

It looks to me that you have good experience in photography and I would look forward to seeing your uploads on TE.

tfs, bill

Bonjour Shama,
Bonne idée que de capturer cette scène en y incluant ce bateau.
Personnelement, décaler le cadre vers le haut et vers la gauche aurais certainement amélioré l'image.
Cordialement
Pascal

There is a very nice order in this picture (work of art, by the way), ducks and waves (sea current) looking left, and seagull+boat looking right. The clouded light helps to strong colors (duck's feet, boat, etc.) and gravel is wonderful colored (I like the texture, too).
Full of movement, the picture is full of life. I like very much the contrast between different characters and expression of ducks and the seagull.

Regards
Álvaro
