Καλημέρα Δημήτρη!
Το Πάσχα βλέπω πάτησες την Αττική γη!
Εύστοχο το κάδρο σου με πολύ καλό περιεχόμενο. Ολοφάνερη η πρόθεσή σου να απογειώσεις την αίσθηση προοπτικής με εξαιρετικό βάθος πεδίου και τέλειο contrast! Πολύ πλούσια χρώματα!

Γεια σου!

Bonjour Dimitris
Une très belle lumière sur cette jolie petite église au dome bleu perdue dans la nature. Les couleurs sont bien saturées et rendent l'ensemble agréable au regard.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Καλημέρα Δημήτρη,
what a beautiful place!
I love the point of view and composition, the vivid colours of the vegetation and plants and the very beautiful sky stand in a very nice contrast to the bright church, although it's abandoned it seems very solid.
Very well seen and captured.
All the best.
Stella

Hello Dimitris,

A nicely composed presentation of this lovely church in lonely surroundings!
Good colours and details and the fine sky adds a great background...
It is interesting to find a building like this left behind, indicating that this place possibly had some significance in the years gone by!

Greetings,

Hi Dimitris,

great one, wonderful architecture, perfect details and colors. I rarely obtain so clear shots despite the fact we have the same camera and lens, did you apply a specific PP enhancing it?

Hi Dimitris
Perfect composition and what wonderful clarity and sharpness in the architecture of this lovely little church. The colours are soft in the foreground leading up to the vibrant hues of the church with the blue roof blending in with the sky. Fantastic.
Cheers
Jude

axiotea (16229) 2009-04-30 8:32

Hello Dimitris
Beautiful little church leading the eye to the temple perched on the hills which gave a sense of distance to it. I like the fact the blue dome reminds the sky color...
Cheers

Hallo Dimitris,
grossartiges Motiv mit wunderschönen Farben und tollem Licht. Die blaue Kuppel erinnert mich an eine Erdhalbkugel und bildet einen schönen Kontrast zu dem roten Dach und dem warmen Licht auf der Kirche. Klasse Bildgestaltung. Gratulation zu diesem tollen Bild.
Viele Grüsse aus dem Donautal,

Very well captured architecture work to show such a fine blue domed roof and very good depth and clarity in this shot.

It is amazing work with the blue sky and superb contrast.

Hi Dimitris
Nice little church, your PP helped the textures stand out very well, especially that blue dome, blue over blue bit showing great details so that it doesn't melt with the sky.
Have a nice day JY

The domes here seem always so colourful. They do create an interesting contrast with the warm tones of the little church. Good point of view showing the two temples in the same frame. Light and colours are excellent. Cheers :-)

Hi Dimitris,
What an abandoned church alone at the beautiful site, people are hardhearted enough to leave it, lovely sunny sky and soft sunlight, seem there have another old temple in the depth, thanks for sharing a colorful view.

Hello Dimitris
Very nice picture of the old abandoned church, with contrasting colours between the blue dome & the red tiles under the blue sky. Good you mentioned about the Temple of Poseidon, which is barely visible, but makes a very interesting object in the BG. Good work!

Angshu

PaulVDV (5318) 2009-05-12 10:06

Hello Dimitris,
This is really a very original picture of the temple of Poseidon with that beautiful little church on the foreground asking all our attention. The architecture is very interesting and the colours of the dome and the tiles are absolutely nice and contrast well in the green sourroundings.
Best regards, Paul

siolaw (25800) 2009-05-13 23:37

Hi Dimitri,
This church is beautiful with this dome.. it looks like the sky and clouds are reflecting in it. Natural colors in a low sun light and texture sharpness are first class and you composed the image nicely with off centering.

Hi Dimitris,

Beautiful sky .. beautiful light .. amplified foreground and background relationship between the two temples .. love the blue dome .. the starkness of the landscape adds to the thoughtfulness of the buildings.

take care, John

stego (22376) 2009-07-09 15:38

Hi Dimitris,
This beautiful photo reminds me that my first trip to Greece didn't start yet and I already feel that I should have put aside some time to the Athens region... This is one of those places that I should be visiting! Maybe next time...
The stone church stands out beautiful on that sea of grass and small bushes, enhanced by the low light and well balanced by the shadow on the right. The temple in the distance catches our attention and makes the photo more special, despite its apparent small dimensions.
Regards,
José

MarianneS (14360) 2009-07-12 13:31

Hello Dimitris,
I like a lot your composition, giving the whole importante to that lovely church, while the impressive temple seems so small.
