I taken this image in the WONDERFUL village of Oia - Santorini Island....a place I LOVE...
This is a little detail of a window....
ABSOLUTELY GREEK COLORS IN THIS IMAGE! :)


Oia (or Pano Meria, Apanomeria, pronounced E-ah), facing south in a fishbone layout. The main pedestrian street connects its ends accross the top of the cliff, with many local branches. The village was also, devastated by the 1956 earthquake and has never fully recovered, but it is dramatic, stricking and quieter than tourist-frenzied Fira, although it's streets are also filled with expensive jewellery boutiques. Oia is famous for its imaginary sunset and its narrow passageways get crowded in the evenings. The most popular spot to watch sunset is by the Kastro walls. The central square, Nikolaou Nomikou, skirts the caldera. The town hosts a cultural centre, Greek art galleries as well as the usual handicrafts, souvenir and jewellery shops. As seen on a zillion postcards, the characteristic classic view of Oia, is the bright white and blue of the church contrasting with the deep blue of the Aegean Sea in the background. Oia, is beautiful, exquisite small town and an ideal place for those seeking peace and quiet. Houses, paths, churches built up skillfully on the northern part of the island. All the forementioned exists in combination with the best golden sunset in the world.

great photo.. thanks for sharing...

Bonsoir Valeria
Ca c'est une photo signée de... brebvbrev14 ;o) Je reconnaitrais tes compos entre mille ! Bravo pour ce graphisme et ces couleurs. C'est un régal de regarder ton travail. Bravo et merci
Xavier

Simple but very nice picture. I like the beautiful Greek colours and the strong graphic look of the photo. Well done.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Antonio

Plain excellent. Reminds me of my beach picture in the Maldives. Congrats.

wooow!!!I like very much this pic !Why?because iI can find in it my favorite colour-blue,one of my favorite theme-windows,exceptional quality and framing!Thank you Valeria!
All the best in 2007

HI VALERIA,
MAGNIFICENT GRAPHIC*****
BRAVO...

Hi Valeria,
I like this simple image with beautiful contrasting colours. Very pretty.
Cheers,
Debbie

Salut Valérie,quelle tres belle compo l'équilibre entre blanc et bleu est parfaite tres bon concept pour illustrer la Grece.Les couleur sont tres bien rendues.

A very nice shot. I love the combination of blue and whites here and the diagonal lines.
However I think it would look better with a straight window. The window lines are not level. This would give a more graphical image with straight horizontal and vertical (window-)lines. Another little thing: the little step is a bit distracting for me.
Just my 2 cents.

Dear Valeria,
As soon as I saw your thumbmail, I was sure this shot comes from Greece.
Colors are very nice and well rendered.
Thanks for sharing this wonderfull view,

Hi Valeria
This is not an usual place with these colors.
You getr here a beautifull frame to give this modern and graphical style.
Very nice.
Bertrand

Hi Valeria and Happy New Year!!

You propose a great photo for 2007, very bold and graphic. It’s already attractive at thumbnail size. The different geometric shapes create a contrast between softly ondulating curves and straight square angles.

The colours can’t lie about the location and offer enough information. A different view and a good exploitation of details of architecture.

Cheers!

André

Hi Valeria!

This is an outstanding photo of yours.
Excellent graphism, typical colours, amazing result.
Well done

Sakis

PS: I DO NOT AGREE with the suggestion of Frank, never ever. Your result and your crop is just fine as it is. Keep it your way!

What a great detail photo Valeria!
The greek colours are beautiful.
It is a common scene when you are in Greece .... but yo must see it. And you caught it very well.
The composition, geometry, framing is very good and your comment is very useful. The spot is the only discordant note.
Thanks and best wishes for 2007, Ingrid

Hi Valeria,

Glorious photo! Real great detail of a scene catched. Nice combination of white and lovely blue, typical Greek colours. Fine saturation, nice play with lines, fine sharpness and good contrast. Well seen and executed. Congrats + Good 2007.

Hi Valeria,
One of the great shots of TE. Simply great colour combination. Composition is simply excellent. It goes straight to my favs.
Partha

Ah you do such a good job of finding these colourful buildings. The blue and white works so well together and the design of the building is quite abstract.

Hi Valeria,
Wonderful photo! Great colours and sharpness. I like the simplicity and graphism of this image. Well done and TFS Cheers Tina :-)

Ciao Valeria, This is indeed Greece and in oh so many ways. The atmosphere, the colours, the stucco, the design of the little window...but also the way the wires are installed and the lamp is placed. All delightfully and endearingly Greek.
Great graphic one!
A good and healthy 2007 to you Valeria!

Bellissima foto Valeria. non so perchè ieri non l'ho proprio vista?!
ottimi colori, luce, POV...puzza, nel senso metaforico, di Grecia lontano un miglio...anzi, a ben annusare si sente odore di tsatsiki, di souvlaki, di pite sfregolanti sulla piastra, di birre fresche prese al Far Out di Ios guardando il tramonto...ecco...

...mi sono ri-depresso un'altra volta!!!

Hi Valeria!

Another masterpiece from you! You are really making the best publicity possible for the Greek islands. Amazing composition that gives almost the feeling of a painting. The colours are is if you were spelling the word "Greece". You could publish and excellent portfolio with your greek photos. Congratulations!

Ciao, Hercules

Such a nice minimalism, Valeria. Amazing colours and beautiful view. Looks like painted. Good eye as usual, well done, Nino.

Che colori stupendi per comminciare quest'anno nuovo! Molto bello! Felice 2007 et auguri!

Simply fantastic. Fantastic shot of fantastic subject. I have to contact my travel agent about the possibilities to go there... ;)

Happy new year, Valeria!

Altra foto targata inconfondibilmente Valeria, splendida composizione che sa di mediterraneo e disole, Bravissima!
Ciao Silvio

I have to confess that I am not a great fan of these pure graphical shots, but this one is very good. It has very sensual lines and the blues are just amazing. The sharpness even increased this glow feeling. The door, on the right place, holds another layer of character. Very nice!

Hi Valeria,
Hi like this blue lines and the sensation of movement and with great colours.
Great 2007,
Paulo Monteiro

This is really fantastic, Valeria, so well framed, it's really a dream in blue and white. In addition, there is an incredible softness in the materials and lines, excellent. I believe the step is OK so we can better identify a Greek island here. Bravo for this shot, Daniel

Bonjour, Valeria. J'aime beaucoup les lignes qui descendent en diagonale et divisent ton image en trois parties distinctes. La petite fenêtre bleu sur fond blanc attire directement le regard. Une image graphique très soignée qui n'a pas échappé à ton excellent coup d'oeil.

Hello Valeria,
You're starting off the New Year with a great picture! Here's to a Happy New Year! I love the blue in your photo, and the shape of the walls: hard to see at first the environment in 3D.
Raluca

Ciao Valeria,
Me too, I love Oia... I wish I had a camera and had been older when I was visiting it! But even without it, with my father's passion for photography, we walked endlessly in those curving little streets looking down to the sea where the Atlantis may have dwelt... and this shot just throws me back to that time, thank you dear Valeria. The photo you took is simply perfection!
These mediterranean blues are intoxicatingly beautiful!

Hi, Valeria.
Very good composition, quite simple, but very well executed. Blue and white are really Greek, and small doors like these are really in the mood.
Congrats.

Probably don't have much to add to all the critiques here, but the colors are supurb, and I especially love the detail in the texture that you captured. It's nice and sharp and well framed.

Ciao Valeria,
sono tornato dalla jungla giusto per far arrivare questa bellissima foto ai suoi 100 meritati punti!
Mi piace da morire il gioco di linee rette e curve che si interseca tra due dei miei colori preferiti: non per niente sono i colori del cielo!

This is a slice of cake made with tons of sugar, right? It is tasty for the eyes in any case. I like both dualities combined in such a graphic point of view : rectangles/curves ; white/blue. Happy New Year.

Une photo qui brille par ses deux couleurs qui sont celles de la Grèce. J'aime le graphisme tout en courbes douces en opposition avec le volet rectangulaire et l'angle en coin de mur bleu.
Excellent travail de composition.

when are you going to invite me over to teach me your magical ways?? another winner, these are my favorite colors by the way as they resemble the sky and beach at the same time. everything is great here including your framing.

How could I miss this one..... :O)

FANTASTIC and my laptop is too small to enjoy it fully - it should be in poster size. Again you manage to discover angles, curves and shapes and represent them perfectly.

Awwright!! THAT is color!!!
very successufully made, I think the most impressive is the overall consistency of the blue color which makes this scene look like two dimensional, much alike you painted it directly on my monitor.
It seems this one will break your records (even though I still prefer the ones with people in).

Have I already wished you the best for 2007, Valeria? sorry if I forgot.

the colours of Greece. A superb composition that you have captured here and the white exposed perfectly.

Hi Valeria,
Now how could I have missed this one earlier. So simple, just blue and white, the colours of Greece as one would say, yet so strong. Wonderful graphical composition. I love this enough to add it to my favourites.

Hi Valeria, i knew i would let my words on this one :)))) TREMENDOUS picture, so beautiful those blue and white, i would eat them :))) My prefered colored even if white is not a color ... All in curves, duotone ... a marvelous picture here Valeria, this is a masterpiece. So graphical, i would have loved to take that shots
All my sincere congratulations

Hi Valeria,

I see bold colors, sexy curves, strong lines and a wonderfully composed image from an artistic eye.

I would love to have this beautiful image on my wall! :D

Regards,
Sebas.

The POV makes this quite an incredible shot extremely eye catching. The light and the wires are a little distracting but not too much.
Great composition.

nice composition and colours. keep sharing.

Wooo, ooooh, Valeria, it is very very good seen, wonderful framed,wonderful compo and contrast.
Bravo great done.
Thanks very much.

I never saw this one before....I guess even without looking so much has been said in praise of this one there is little new to say....another revelation of your graphic sensibility and I have to say I love the incongruity of the slightly jury rigged outdoor light which looks more like a studio light.......but lovely composition on your part.

Wow ! Very nice graphics and colors !

Hello Valeria,
this is really masterpiece from Santorini Island. It is also my favo island :) simply Greek colours with great comp.
Thanks

As a graphic artist you must have had a great time shooting on this island. This is so beautiful - art, but I do believe it's also reality. Wonderful when the two converge. I thought about the tilt (having seen that someone else mentioned it) - and since I have mysterious tilts in so many images, I know the problem. I don't see a problem here, though. I think the door is straight, and the house is built in synch with the lay of the land. I was in Greece in the 60s - not on this island, but on other islands, and this image captures the peacefulness so well.

Hi Valeria
How did I miss this ?
Well I did because I was on holidays when you posted this.
I just love the turquoise and white tones and the different lines separating the colours. It's so well framed.
This goes to my favourites.
Regards
Nikki

Colors and geometrical lines cpmbine to give a phantastic composition. Direct to my favorites, Yvonne

I love your painting Valeria. What else to say!! No words...

Bonjour Valéria
Une composition typiquement Grecque, un cadrage symbolique aux couleurs du drapeau de ce pays.
Un cadrage graphique moderne sur une architecture ancienne.
J'apprécie beaucoup.
Ciao.

Simplicity at its best. Nice shot!

Hi Valeria,

Hi Valeria,
You like colours and graphical shots, this one is a great example, excellent idea and lovely result, congratulations.

This is a piece of art and it is fabulous. I can imagine the place with the blue sea as background.The curves are amusing and it makes us curious to know more about this place and its culture.Your composition is absolutely unparallel SUPERB. My favorite.TFS

Ciao Valeria


Amazing picture. So powerful!!!

I'm speechless. I love the colour contrast but even more the way you played with the lines straight and curves.

Magnifique!!!

Merci

Tony

Another fantastic Santorini shot. I should have looked at your series one month ago, before my own trip there, to get some inspiration! Again, I like the way the composition is reduced to one little, yet very relevant detail. An interesting approach to photographying a well covered subject.

Hi Valeria

Again well seen and done, I liked your tight framing with the simplicity of it and the vivid colors

Hello Valeria
A purity in this composition. Simple and real beauty. The image is well tallied and quite exposed. A very neat work. This blue is a wonder.
Cheer and good day.
In a friendly way

Bonjour Valeria,
à mon tour de te saluer pour cette composition. hormis la porte, on a l'impression que tout le reste a été dessiné à la craie, craie blanche, craie bleue, et quel bleu ! celui de la Grèce bien sûr - Le travail était tout frais, le travail était tout fait, il suffisait que Valeria y apporte sa griffe.
Très belle composition Valéria, et comme tous, à part un grincheux, je te félicite vivement -
mes amitiés
daniel

Hola Valeria,
Hace tiempo que tenía pensado votar esta maravillosa foto minimalista con fantástico color y gran POV.
Felicitaciones.
Saludos cordiales
Ros

I really like this photo; I just wish it wasn't so manipulated; it looks like a drawing. I really get no sense of "Greek Colors here"; let me re-phrase; I think the art takes away from the Greek Architecture.
sorry (only my opinion)

Hi Valeria

Excellent graphism, very good definition and colours.
TFS and greetings

Ciao Valeria,

un vero capolavoro di forme e colori. Splendida composizione, un vero quadro creato con una macchina fotografica.

Complimenti!

Bravo Valeria, this blue is amazing! It's like a painting... I also like the way you cropped your frame.

Cheers

Hello Valeria.
The photo is magnificent: the blue one, that all dominates it does not arrive to oppress and to saturate the image. I would like to see a black and white version in guessing the range of grays.
Great image. Added to my favorites.
Greetings, Pepe

Hej Valeria,
You really seem to have an eye for this kind of detail photos. This is also very well seen. The colours are really attractive and I love the shapes of blue and white. The little door looks nice too in the middle. Well done, thanks for sharing!

Hi Valeria,
Another one of your splendid two color theme... very creative! In someway, the underlying techniques would br that of B&W which mainly rely on tones, forms, and texture. Excellent work! tfs

Ciao Valeria,
no he podido resistir más en valorar esta foto, que veía todos los días al abrir tu página de introducción. Es muy bonita, tiene un gran grafismo y mucha fuerza geométrica por su combinación de líneas y curvas, y por la bicromía del blanco y el azul, colores de la bandera griega y de la arquitectura de Santorini, un maravilloso lugar al que voy a ir algún día.
Es una foto realmente magnífica. Felicidades!
Un abrazo,
Josep
