Summer in Syros Photo

Photographer’s Note

From Wikipedia:

"Syros (Greek: Σύρος), or Siros or Syra is a Greek island in the Cyclades, in the Aegean Sea. It is located 78 nautical miles (144 km) south-east of Athens. The island features towns including Ermoupoli and Ano Syros. Ermoupoli is the capital of the island and the Cyclades. It has always been a significant port town, and during the 19th century it was even more significant than Pireus."

Pictured here is the island capital, Ermoupoli.

Hi Ryno, amazing image, with a wodnerufl view on the city, good quality and wonderufl colours.
good POV too.
I think that a composition without the lower side, so full of cars and with few interesting subject and pointed over the super crowded city on the hill should be strongest as image.
thanks, ciao

Ryno, Great shot!! The fg road and extension into the bay makes this very attractive I think, colors are bright and warm and the detail is immense.

Great capture,

Greg

Ryno,
Nice composition here including the part of the sea and bustling town in the shot. The road leads the eye into the photo nicely. The mass of houses and buildings on the hill create an urban look the the shot which is contrasted by the waterfront in the foreground. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

Hello Ryno
Plenty to see on this one! - and all the details shown perfectly.
Good POV. The Z shape of the quay provides a strong line into the picture and a contrast to the very dense pattern above.

Hi Ryno!
"Hermes City" is characterized by a unique mixture of Cycladic and Neoclassical architecture. Thank god its old core was not destroyed as it happened in so many other Greek places.
This is a very nice shot of this beautiful town. I think, that you “over coloured” the sky though.
Regards
Andreas
