Melancholic day, a photo from Larisa, Thessaly

Photographer's Note

A melancholic cloudy and windy day, a view to Aegean sea from a balcony in Polydendri, a beautiful place for summer vacations.

I dedicate this photo to my friends and great photographers, who have decided to leave. I learned so much from them! Our course here will be poorer!

Hello Vasilis,
Your melancholic photo sure has the right tone for the mood that has recently settled in this sight. How very unfortunate to see some friends "run out", and others, quite understandably, leaving in protest. We will all be much poorer for it.
Your photo is a nice b&w conversion, with nice composition and good light management. The two lonely lamps hanging in space as if symbolised the departed friends, and I like the beams of light descending through the thick clouds on the surface of the sea. May some light illuminate those responsible for this recent exodus and bring about a change that would allow them to return.
Thank you very much for your dedication and have a nice Sunday!
Dasha

hello Vasilis,

beautiful black and white and beautiful composition to illustrate this point melancholy that I share with you in honor of our brilliant photographers who leave the site, a site that becomes poor every time a little more.

best regards,
Valerie.

Βασίλη καλησπέρα,
πράγματι είναι μια μελαγχολική ημέρα με το ουρανό τόσο γκρίζο με τις ακτίνες του ήλιου μόλις να διαγράφονται στον ορίζοντα.Τα φαναράκια είναι μια μικρή έκπληξη και δημιουργούν μιά άλλη αισθητική στο όλο σκηνικό.

Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

Bonjour Vasilis

Excellente composition. L'utilisation du noir et blanc est parfaite. J'aime beaucoup les rayons du soleil en arrière plan et les deux lanternes.

Bon dimanche

Serge

Boa tarde Vasilis

In my opinion this is a pity that some friends decide to leave TE.Of course the site will be poorer.
This photo has the sad feeling that they left here.
Abraços

Hi Vasilis,

Beautiful photo with the speciual melancholic mood. Maybe our friends will miss us and will return one day? We shouldn't loose hope. Excellent tribute to so many of them.

Warm regards

Geia sou dear Vasilis, a beautiful tribute to our friends. Their friendship and talent were something special and it is a pity they are going. The B&W gives such an atmosphere of desolation and loneliness. Perhaps a little how we all feel now. TFS and I wish you a good day, Lisa
