Serifos, Hora., a photo from Kyklades, South Aegean

Photographer's Note

On the way down from the Castle, in the narrow streets of Chora there are many churches as for instance Agios Georgios with the relief figure of a boat on its facade, the church of Stavros with the ancient fountain, Panagia Xekourastra and Agios Eleftherios, where the flag of the revolution was raised on the 22nd of May, in 1821, etc.

At the Piazza of Pano Chora there is the Town Hall, housed in a two-floored neoclassic building and next to it there is the marvelous church of Agios Athanasios with its marble square, which is the island’s cathedral.

Hello Nikos,
Fabulous picture with the saturated blue sky and the low POV. Of course the lady walking up the step at just the right moment is pure magic! A great image.
Regards, Ann

Bonsoir Nikos
Rien à envier à ton voisin! Cette image est aussi une belle composition, j'aime surtout l'élément vivant montré par la fille qu'on dirait vient faire sonner la cloche!

Hi Nikos
a stunning blue sky that brings out all the beauty of this white church. An inpsired POV and wonderful capture of the person in the doorway, it adds another element and also interest. Clever and original imagery. Well executed and presented.

Hi Nikos!
Magnificent picture!
Highlights are the chosen pov, vertical format and composition (with a lower pov you enhanced the majesty of the small church, placing it against that wonderful sky as if its architectural details were hands praying to God up there - the presence of that person was quite welcome as well)!
Sharpness, colors, contrasts and overall pp pleased me too!
TFS - congrats,
Cheers,
Neyvan
