The Clocktower on Poros, a photo from Attiki, Attica

Photographer's Note

Regardless of which route you take, both entrances of Poros island are magnificent. Coming in from the Northwest, you pass a narrow channel where you will have Poros on your left side at a distance that is almost touchable. At this time you will not be able to see the TownCenter but as you make a sharp left into the main channel that divides the Peloponnese and Poros, the town center and the famous ClockTower will become visible.

Quelque soit votre route maritime, l'arrivée à l'île de Poros est magnifique. En arrivant du Nord-Ouest, vous passez par un passage très étroit pour découvrir Poros à votre gauche, si proche que vous pourriez la toucher. Mais vous ne pouvez pas encore en voir le centre, mais une courbe étroite à gauche vous mène au détroit qui sépare le Péloponnèse de Poros. Vous pouvez alors découvrir le centre de la ville et la célèbre Tour de l'Horloge.

Salut Catherine,

Low angled lights are amazingly illuminates authentic facades. I like yellow facades and mix of traditional Aegean architecture together in your perfectly captured photo. Sharpness and natural colors are make your frame an attractive one with well known Mediterranean textures created by olive trees at background too. Great contrast also with terracotta roofs there. Congratulations. Have a nice weekend.

Amitiés,

Bonsoir Catherine,

me voici devant ce beau panorama de Poros pour le decorer de mes sourires, mais je me trouve injuste envers tes derniere images dorees, automnales de Belgique qui prolongent le beau temps et font face a l'hiver. La palette sur cette photo est en function su soleil de septembre dans l'apres-midi. Belle image et j'ai eu le plaisir de te revoir, amie,

Bonjour Catherine
La longue focale donne un bon cadrage serré sur cette partie du village.
Bel éclairage ambiant avec ces tons chauds.
Je suggère une légère sous exposition afin de ne pas perdre de détails sur la tour horloge.
Dans l'ensemble c'est parfait.
Amitiés.
