Hi David,
Many fine elements seen in this outstanding photo with lovely green sea, stunning walkway to a magnificent clock tower, stunning blue sky and striking squiggly reflection from the naked sailing masts.
Regards, Tom

Hi David,
nice composition with the quay leading to the tower and some boats on water. These colours remind me more to summer, but Rhodes is much more in the south. I like the mast reflections in the water blurred by the waves.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi David

Excellent shot. I like the well balanced lighting and the fine colors. The polarizer did a very fine job on the sky.

Hi David,
A nice harbourside view, I like here the strong leading line that transforms into a curve before reaching the main element, the clock tower, it's quite a powerful pointer. Nice light as well that makes the photo luminous.
Have a nice day,
Jean-yves

Hi David,
Well composed with a crisp clean look. I might have zoomed in a little more to bring the boat scene a little closer and slightly lessen the preponderance of white concrete pier. However, there is good symmetry with the lines emanating all the way along the pier into the water, and the tower is perfectly positioned in the frame for balance. The clarity of detail is impressive. Cheers.

Hi David

Good colour contrasts, with excellent saturation & sharpness. I like the reflections & repetition of the boats. Tfs!

Excellent framing for this one, with the cruve of the pier and the tower in background left. The color of the water is beautifull, with very subtle reflections, and sharpness is very good too.

All the best,

Emmanuel
