Trick or Treat?
====================
Which photos do you prefer? my B/W or my coloured ones?
About the place - WikiPedia Info:
=================================
Kardamili (also spelled Kardhamili, Kardamyli, (Καρδαμύλη in Greek) is a village by the sea and 35 kilometers away from Kalamata. It is in the Messenia prefecture of the Mani Peninsula in the Peloponnese. Homer cites Kardamili as one of the seven cities offered by Agamemnon to Achilles as a condition to rejoin the fight during the Trojan War; the village preserves its ancient name.
The area is filled with some of the most beautiful beaches in the county: the Kalamitsi, the Ritsa, the Chalikia, the Salios, and the Neo Proastio. It is worthwhile to wander around the stone paths through the Old Kardamili area, where you can marvel at the ruins of the mediaeval Castle and the ancient fortifications, the imposing temple of Saint Spyridon. You will definitely be mesmerized by the distinctive regional architectural style of the various castles. For the fun of hiking, Kardamili is the departure point of many mountain trails, which may even lead to the peak of Mount Taygetus. Do not pass on the opportunity to visit the Viros Gorge with a total length of 20km.
The surrounding villages offer great opportunities for day excursions. You can visit Platsa, Thalames, Stoupa and Agios Nikolaos, whose history goes back to the Byzantine times. If you are looking for an opportunity to go further about, you may visit Itilos, Areopoli and the Dirou caverns.

Self Critique:
==============
One of my best post processing images ever.
Almost 3 hours of work, customized lighting methods,
clone stamp clarification, and god knows (cause I don't remember what else I did). I'll describe some in my PP notes.
I think my POV is the best I could get at 18mm.
Lucky the boats were placed like this leading the way to the wave in the middle which I waited the perfect moment and believe me, I've waited a lot till my hand start shaking. Hopefully my Optical Stabilizer helped :)
The original coloured scene is also lovely, I believe this scene is one of the most beautiful I've seen in the area, or maybe its me, who loves harbors, sea, sun, and simplicity, or should I say Greece full of it!
The angry tones were selected on purpose, I'd like to place some dramatic feeling inside, and that was the only way to enhance it.
About the shot:
===============
Q: Who could resist that POV?
A: Not me!
Q: Why f/22 and 1/13 ?
A: Because I'd like to give some movement to the wave smashing, and not capture it frozen, without disturbing the rest of the scene.
Q: And how do you justify that sharpness and the fact that the rest objects are steady?
A: The creative use of Optical STABILIZER, which permitted me to froze the rest of the scene, and capture the movement, plus my balanced settings since there wasn't any other speed ideal to capture this one like the way you see it.
Post Processing Notes:
======================
Where should I begin!
- Custom underexposed RAW lighting and white balance issues to avoid over exposure issues afterwards, saturation -100%.
(Which means that, my first exported TIFF from RAW was dark enough on purpose, to apply some custom lighting filters afterwards in PS.)
Remember the advice I've given: Its better to underexpose something, rather overexpose because the detail somehow exists.
This picture follows this advice.
- Clone Stamp used to remove some rocks below (check the Original Workshop).
- Custom B/W HUE Cyan/Blue 12% to create that angry sweet Blueish B/W dramatic touch.
- Selection over sky + Clarification 10.00 (till it screamed.)
- Selection over ground + Clarification 6.00 (till it become interest, create some shadows, and remove that fog and plain look crappy original midtone filter.
- Custom point to point selection over boats + Levels adjustment.
- Custom selection over vignetting points/edges + Contrast Levels enhanced and made them blacker to focus to the center of the scene.
- Custom selection over sea below and sky above + Brightness and Contrast enhancement.
- A couple of hours spend applying Levels 1-2%, clarification 1-2%, Brightness and Contrast 1-2% over selections such as clouds/boats/waves/the whole scene for the final shadows creation.
- Custom Sharpness filter applied over layer opacity 94% to give a liquid water touch and faithful sky touch.
You may wonder, how on earth do you remember if the opacity were 94% or 95%?
I remember that 95% was too much to the scene, and yes 1% of something is a serious detail after 3 hours of post process where the eye likes what it sees :|
Unfortunately or not, I'm a perfectionist, which means that I believe the idea that a small detail can make the difference. Which means I might be a pain in your head sometimes in my critiques (and it doesn't have to do with points, I always give +2 for the effort) :) WHICH MEANS, I'd like YOU to be hard and honest on my posts!
Many people afraid of writing critiques,
Something you must know is, that all your critiques are marked as useful to my posts, because indeed they are useful. Even the comment "i like your shot" tells me that somebody likes it in a way that can't describe either because of lack of time, or because the photo is too much, but after viewing his/hers gallery I'll know why my photo liked to him/her.
You may write your feelings and why do you like it, or you don't like it. I'll accept it either way.
Critiques are like colours to me, it doesn't matter if its blue or red. Both are welcomed for each reasons.
Thank you very much for stopping by viewing/reading/commenting
I hope you find my notes useful and let me know your further questions if any.

Hello Stelios,
indeed a very nice photo, but three hours are too much. I would have done it in five minutes or in ten. Honest reply? Sharpness is great, colour balance either, idea as well. But with some predefined macros and some experiences I am sure you could achieve the same result in ten minutes.

Hello Stelios! Thank your for the little gift, and all the work involved ... I am impressed, not only of the hours but also what came out. Very often there is more drama added with b/w - I find personally. It is also a notch sader maybe too and goes away from the typical happy holiday picture (that I like too of course, depending on the mood). The only minor thing I find a little disturbing is the writing and takes the attention away from the rest. You talk about critique ... your fault :) Excellent, I like it. Barbara.

Hello Stelios,
I will choose the b&w, but that's also because that one is worked on and the colour version not. You say the colour version is jpg, don't you shoot RAW?
There is a very slight blue colour cast in the b&w, but that could also be my monitor, i am not really sure about that. The top is the best part here, those clouds are superb, you really did a great job on that part. The town is nice bathed in light which is a good thing and combines very good with that great sky.
The lower section is just a bit to dark for my taste, the corners could use some 10% light, but that is more a minor thing than serious critique. The overal output is very good, your work really paid off. Those 3 hours tell me you are not only dedicated but also know what you are doing, that part is more important to me than all those hours of work.
Converting a picture to b&w is more difficult than some people think, so on that you did a very good job here. The long note can be useful for some, but for me it's not important, i just look at the final output, how you did is not important to me. I see that someone with passion worked on it, that's what's count to me.
Great work here..!!!!
Take care, Henk

Dear Stelios,
Sometimes its good to be a perfectionist! It's a magistral demonstration of PP and effort. You transformed a quite usual sea harbour photo (you colours photo without PP) in a dramatic photo, full of live. I like specially the little tree on the left which capture a beautiful light and also the houses, in contrast with the clouds. A very good job and again a great lesson for us.
Filika,
Katerina

Γειά σου Στέλιο
Στη φωτογραφία σου μου έκανε εντύπωση το δυνατό κοντραστ και η δημιουργία ατμόσφαιρας μυστηρίου. Το δένδρο αριστερά στη μέση νομίζω πως κάνει πολύ έντονη την αίσθηση αυτή. Όσον αφορά την σύγκριση νομίζω πως είσαι προκατηλημένος υπερ της ασπρόμαυρης. Αν ΈΣΥ δούλευες την έγχρωμη, οι απόψεις θα διαφοροποιούνταν. Για να καλήξω θα σταθώ στην άποψη που έχει διατυπώσει αλλού ο Ηρακλής, ότι οι δύο φωτογραφίες είναι διαφορετικές και οχι συγκρίσιμες.
Πάντως με προβλημάτησες αρκετά και ίσως επέλεγα και εγώ την ασπρόμαυρη.
Χαιρετώ
Χρήστος

Perfectionist or not, I want to congratulate you for this extraordinary B&W picture. You have done extremely well and the 3 hours were well spent. The excellent light in the sky and over the boats created a dramatic and, at the same time beautiful, atmosphere. Well done.
For the original colour version, I think it is a bit dull and lacking brightness.

Hi Stelios,
I will be completely honest with you. I looked at both versions and honestly I would probably not bother with original. But you, you saw potencial in it, perhaps had a vision how to present this place you probably have visit many times and had a chance to feel its beauty. I must say that this is far the best PP work I've even seen. It is simply a masterpiece. And I was wandering if you do this also for profession? the difference is simply unbelievable. Some remarks about three hours are too much are ridicilous. Maybe that is true if the goal is capture of a size of a stamp with unaccurate corrections. The conversion to BW is not so easy and you did it perfectly. I love the dramatic output created here, with all elements of just the right balance and greatly toned up. I loved it even before I read your note, but afterwards the value raised to infinitiy. My greatest compliments!
Kind regards,
Jeri

Στέλιο καλησπέρα,
εξαιρετικά καθαρή η φωτογραφία από την ωραία ΚΑρδαμύλη που πέρυσι πέρασα μερικές ευχάριστες ημέρες.Τα σύννεφα είναι ένα από τα δυνατά σημεία στην φωτογραφία σου όχι φυσικά ότι τα άλλα είναι υποδεέστερα.Ιο βάρκες έτσι όπως είναι τοποθετημένες δημιουργούν ένα μεγάλο βάθος πεδίου το οποίο φθάνει μέχρι τα σπίτια στη στεριά.Σπουδαία η δουλειά που βγήκε μετά μια τρίωρη επεξεργασία.
Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,δάνος

wow. I mean - WOW!!! I certainly prefer the black and white version, there's so much more drama here. I particularly like what you have done with the sky - although the photo is B&W, I cannot help the feeling it's dark blue and cyan, I absolutely love the effect. superb composition too, I like a lot the lone boat in the foreground pointing into the scene.
all in all, I'd say this is one of your most powerful photos, Stelios, my compliments.

Ο ουρανός με ελαφρούς τόνους δραματικότητας αποθεώνει το σκηνικό! Η έκδοση με χρώμα απλά νομίζω δίνει μια διαφορετική διάσταση στην εικόνα...κάπως πιο "προσγειωμένη" αλλά όμορφη επίσης!

A slightly bluish image N&B, I like much. Superb marine landscape with much of depth and a sky which gives a beautiful relief. The clearness of the image is very appreciable. Beautiful work so much in the image than in the explanations, thank you Stelios.
With all my friendships and very good Sunday,
Jean-Charles

Η φωτό σου, μου φέρνει στον νου σκηνές προπολεμικές, εξαιρουμένων φυσικά των σύγχρονων εξοπλισμών των πλεούμενων! Θα έλεγα ότι ετούτη εδώ είναι πιο ελκυστική από τις άλλες γιατί παρουσιάζει κάτι το εντελώς ξεχωριστό σε απόδοση. Το έντονο κοντράστ των σύννεφων με τον ουρανό και η ευκρίνεια της λήψης ενθουσιάζουν τον θεατή.
Τι γίνεται βρέχει στην Καλαμάτα;
Στην Αθήνα ρίχνει με το τουλούμι!
Καλό βράδυ.

To give you an idea how much I like this image I will first tell you I don't really like B&W and usually go for colour every time. So if I picked this out of a gallery full of good work it means I REALLY LIKE IT. Every minute of the 3 hours you took to process it was worth it. I'm not sure what the outcome of similar effort to produce a final colour version would be but certainly the original is flat, flat, flat. The clarification tool in the right hands can really produce the goods, although it can look very faked if over-used. Excellent shot
