Hi Maggie,
A very peaceful shot. I can sense the dry heat, the crickets making noise, and the gentle sound of the rustling leaves in the wind. Your composition is excellent, and the full range of light well captured with good detail. Very nice! Have a good weekend, Casper

You are right, this is a scene that is becomming few and far between these days. You have taken it very well and captured a lovely moment. There's nothing quite like a nap outside. I think this would look good, if not better, in black and white. Thanks for sharing. Regards, TW

hi Maggie

Nice to see your Greece trip photo of this main below a tree. Hopefully you did not wake him up. At least the ground is dry and clean. In Malaysia, the ground is wet and full of insects or snakes, so workers normally built a simple hut on stilt for resting purpose.

Hello Maggie. A sleeping in the shade of a tree. In addition a stick and a high-hung bundle with personal things. Actually, the picture is timeless; it is a ark-typical picture. You observed and realized this scene well. Worth seeing. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Geia sou Maggie!

Beautiful moment, excellent and relaxed daily life scene, a scene, that those who have lived in the Greek countryside, are very common with! Excellent framing and composition, great light managment, beautiful "soft" colours, fitting the subject! Congratulations!

Hi Maggie
It is true that for us we see more often this scene on the paintings of museums!
A beautiful subject, very well treated with this beautiful harmony of colors. The play shadows / light is very nice. It gives me envy to make the siesta!
Have a nice WE

Hello Maggie,

This looks like a scene from a 19th century drama! It triggers memories that must come from books ... I'm sure I have never really experienced this scene before!
His low positioning makes very interesting composition and the two trees balance the whole beautifully!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Maggie. You have a very good pair of eyes for perspective. Stunning image captured with the man under the big tree. I would have done the same in this pristine view. Well done and have a great weekend. Best regards. Jusni

Hi Maggie,
I like well the atmosphere of this photograph !
I hear also the songs of crickets.
Best way of life, the siesta allows greeks to live older.
Very well done !
