U-Turn in Oia, a photo from Kyklades, South Aegean

Photographer's Note

Not much to add to the notes I have already written about Santorini, in my previous posts. Just one more beautiful "corner" from Oia.

Hello Hercules,

good pov, original composition which shows this turn of the stairs in foreground, great depth and an extraordinary plasticity are the best features of this photo. Santorini looks transfigured here under this sparkling light - almost a sacred place. The PP work is indeed refined and the result is a very strong visive impact.
Well done,
Donato

Hello Hercules

A classical Santorini view, but one with an extra touch. Very well composed with a great choice of vantage point. Good depth and fantastic colours and contrast between the white houses and the blue background. Very well done! TFS. Have a nice evening.

Best regards, Erling

Ciao Hercules.
I understood soon that was your photo, without reading your name.
Gorgeous, warm colours. Great framing with the stair handrail lined to the highest house

Hi Hercules,

The colors in your photo are amazing. It´s beaultiful how you could place some red from the flowers in the midle of the pastel colors of Greece. Congratulations.

Cheers, Maurício

Salut Hercules.
Ακόμη μια πολύ όμορφη εργασία, μια πολύ όμορφη καθαρότητα, των φωτεινών χρωμάτων που καίγονται και, μια τέλεια διαμόρφωση. Στερεότυπα σε Santorin, τοποθετούνται συχνά, αλλά αυτής της ποιότητας.
Μπράβο.

Che blu straordinario.
Immagine profonda e ricca di chiaroscuri.

Kalispera Hercules,
Great and typical view in Santorini, well taken POV, colors a bit too enhanced to my taste, but a wonderful scene.
Hope to visit the magnificent island sometime.
Ike

Hi Hercules,

A brilliant perspective. You have made the place look so beautiful. We have also seen it in blue hour. The distant mountains covered in blue looks like its beyond horizon in clouds.
Great one...

Have a nice time
Tushar

Hi Hercules,i been in Ierapetra as you know and i never been in Santorini...and maybe this place is better..eheh..What a beautifull composition and perspective,i like a lot these pastel colors and the great contrast between the homes and the blue of the sea.Very well done...have a nice day,Luciano

delpeoples (60342) 2010-09-02 18:40

Geia sou dear Hercules, welcome back from your travels. Wow, the perspective hre is dizzying, along with colours and shapes that don't get more Greek than this. Such an exotic and inviting photo. Be careful, you'll make everyone want to visit and the island will sink! :) Warm regards, Lisa

emka (157280) 2010-09-03 0:01

Hi Hercules, Just from miniature and without any title it is obvious that the photo is from Santorini. It is a real heaven for the photographer. Fantastic architecture of the houses, beautiful colours. Great corner of Oia.

Warm regards

Malgorzata

TopGeo (38220) 2010-09-03 2:00

Γειά σου Ηρακλή! όμορφη σύνθεση με τα καταπληκτικά χρώματα και τον καλό φωτισμό, πολύ καλή οξύτητα επίσης! Η σύνθεση είναι ευφυής και θεαματική. Η σαφήνεια και τα χρώματα των λεπτομερειών μπροστά! αλλά περισσότερο άριστος η ματιά του βάθους, εκτιμώ τη διαχείριση της έκθεσης και των αντιθέσεων. Έχετε χαιρετισμούς
Γεώργιος

mursaloglu (8682) 2010-09-03 3:18

Iassu my dear Herakli

Bonjour Hercules

Personnellement, je trouve que c'est une de tes plus belles, surtout au niveau de la perspectve et de la profondeur de champs. Et que dire de la gestion de la lumière et des couleurs.

Parfaite

Serge

Ηρακλή καλησπέρα,
πράγματι τα πολλά λόγια είναι φτώχεια βλέποντας κανείς αυτή την ομορφιά που ξετρελένει μικρούς και μεγάλους και φεύγοντας κανείς απ΄εκεί, η καρδιά και η μνήμη του μένει πίσω.
Εξαιρετικός ο φωτισμός,η προοπτική και το βάθος του πεδίου που φτάνει μέχρι το βάθος του ορίζοντα.Η ποιότητα της φωτό είναι μοναδική και τα χρώματα την απογειώνουν.

Καλό Απόγευμα,Δάνος

vasilpro (41801) 2010-09-03 8:09

Γεια σου Ηρακλή,
Εξαιρετικά χρώματα, καταπληκτικός φωτισμός και αρχιτεκτονική από τα μοναδικά μέρη του κόσμου, τη μαγευτική Σαντορίνη μας.
Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο, Βασίλης.

adramad (72564) 2010-09-03 8:24

Hola Hercules.
Imagen bellisima con la impresionante luz mediterranea que dinamiza estos preciosos colores. Magnifico encuadre con el bonito juego de volumenes de estas encantadoras construcciones, gran profundidad de imagen con la lejana linea de la costa.
Saludos.
Luis.

Bonjour Hercule

PaulVDV (62804) 2010-09-04 4:57

Hello Hercules,
Yes, it certainly is a beautiful corner and a great viewpoint.
Splendid capture of the wonderful Cycladic architecture with the blue Aegean Sea on the background.
Best regards, Paul

Hercules,
Nice shot of this fine architecture taken from an original POV. The twisting stairs in the foreground add depth for the shot as well as a good point of interest. The lighting and colors are fine as is the photo's sharpness.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Hercules, congratulations for this picture. The light, the colors and the POV are simply perfect. Another masterpiece by you!!

siolaw (38294) 2010-09-05 22:05

Geia sou Hercules!
Good use of the sharply turning stairway to give strong appeal to the foreground, and the view on marvellous oia in the back, with stupendous colours and typical architecture... Perfect

Tratamiento magistral de la luz y la composición...muy buena Hercules

hardyuno (4652) 2010-09-06 10:54

Kalispera Hercules,
i don't know so much of Greece, but in my opinion Santorini is one of the most beautiful places there. I enjoyed the short time there very much.
I like most the strong blue colour as counterpart to the white of the houses. Great picture, TFS
Have a fine evening
Hartmut

Kielia (24077) 2010-09-10 3:13

Hi Hercules,
it is a wonderful composition that you have created here. Great impression of this famous place against the deep blue sky. The light is fantastic! My compliments!
Warm regards
Harriet

macjake (98262) 2010-09-12 10:57

Hi Hercules

all those forms, patterns, colours, smooth textures..whats not to like!
