A Chapel Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

In fact there is one photo of the same place and taken almost at the same time here on TE. I mean this picture by Glider.
I present here slightly different approach to the same subject.

This is St.Nicholas chapel standing on a small island at the entrance to Georgioupoli harbour. One can get to this island via narrow strip of black stones.
As we know St.Nicholas is assumed to be a protector of fishermen and sailors. So this chapel is like a blessing for those leaving the harbour for the sea.

All colors are natural. In post-processing I created a duplicate layer with Multiply blending option (opacity about 50%) to increase contrast and saturation.

Wow! Stunning composition. The colours are superb. The high contrast is what makes this picture.
Placement of the chapel is perfect.
Wonderful shot, very well done!

The bleachy yet subtle colours of nature in contrast with the strong white of the man-made building makes a strong motive. Good job on exposition; there is lots of detail in the rocks and the water and even in the building. Good PS-work as well the increased contrast really makes the pic.

WOW..such an effective composition. I like it a lot. Colors are well-saturated. I am not really keen about the blue frame though. (More of a personal taste.)

Wonderful! So bright colours and shrape contrasts. I like the composition. Chapel have a god reason to be there to give some light to all this sad area, and you use it at the bes way.

Hi Dmitry, this is a very nice chapel, very well rendered. Its clean white facades contrasts very strongly with the blue sea. The whole picture is a bit to dark to my taste thought. Anyway a very good composition, with a well placed chapel in the frame.

Very nice composition Dmitry! I like the strong contrast between the deep blue of the sky and the white of the facade.
The chappel is very well placed in the right-top corner of the composition.
Well done.

Interesting placement of the little chapel. Well done (your trademark I think).
Of the two versions of course this more colourful and the lower light setting makes for another impression. Good work ;-)

Very interesting image. The contrast of the neat chapel against the the rough sea shore is very nice as well the play of the colors. Good crop although I feel croping a bit of the bottom could work well also.

Yes, in going for that high contrast you actually made this a shot of blue juxtaposed with white and an overall very dark impression. But you created a special atmosphere that I think goes beyond what you saw. I like it.
