Ciao Danos
la composizione è splendida con le linee convergenti verso il Palazzo delle Terme che si erge maestoso al centro della foto.
I lampioni e le palme vivacizzano nella giusta misura la composizione che si arricchisce dei colori splendenti dell'edificio e del cielo che appare di un azzurro splendidamente intenso.
Complimenti.
Ciao e buona domenica
Romano

Ciao Danos
giornata ventosa, ma con un'ottima luce, bella prospettiva, forse, facendo un passo a destra, evitatvi di tagliare il lampione, ma nulla toglie alla bella composizione, esaltata dal magnifico cielo blu.
Saluti

Hi Danos,

You're capturing well this hotel by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the hotel with the tasteful shape and white facade, and passave with a row of tropical tree. The whole is balanced well by beautiful color combibation.

Kind regards,
mikio

pierrefonds (84395) 2013-12-22 17:23

Hi Danos,

The palm trees are framing well the building. The length of the sidewalk is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the hotel. The good luminosity is making the colors to stand out. Have a nice day.

Hi Danos,
if I win a lottery tonight I will make my first trip to this beautiful spa :) What an impressive place and perfect presentation. I like very much the vivid well saturated colors which are so eye catching. Composition is lovely with the central symmetry enhanced with the two lamps and the palm trees so nicely aligned here. Excellent work, exactly as I like it.
Have a happy Christmas!

hi Danos,
This looks like a luxurious place! I love its design, reminding me a French villa, and you chose a really fine point of view to look head on to the building like this. the path leads into the scene really well and the fancy lights create a great sense of depth. Love the shadows they throw too! What a beautiful blue sky to have it set against too.
Thanks as always
Noel

Kalispera Danos,
Well placed the building on pic. space, employ wisely with left margins on sides and tops for the blue(sky), and the leading path towards the entrance.
Palm trees and lamp-posts gave extra green tone.
A marvelous composition, superbly collected on a bright daylight.
Best holidays greetings,

I have the impression of streetlights and palm trees mounting guard for VIP customers reaching the thermae, given the appealing symmetry that matches the beauty of the building at backdrop!
I wish you a merry Christmas under the legendary greek skies!
Se xereto.

Hola Danos

Impresive contrast of the building with the sky, first, then deepness and symmetry are given by the POV
Like the colorful composition with the lampost working as a kind of frame
Great place to be, like they are well preserved
Congrats and Merry Xmas

Hello Danos,

The fg path lined with palm trees and an outer fence give good lead in lines and diminishing linear perspective. Excellent density levels and sharpness with a nice clear blue sky. Good exposure on the highlights and punchy light contrasts. Have a safe and happy Christmas and New Year!
