Molyvos reflections, a photo from Lesvos, North Aegean

Photographer's Note

This is part of the small picturesque harbour of Molyvos, where the fishermen "park" their boats. A lovely place for a walk, where you can find the best places of the town for a food or a drink, but also enjoy the beautiful view of the main part of the town, "climbing" the hill, leading to medieval castle.

Molyvos' fabulous architecture, with the stone houses and the colourful windows is quite unusual for a Greek island, reminds the architecture that someone can see in the greek mainland especially in villages and towns of the mountainous northern Greece.

Nice but color saturation is set too high.

Es una foto perfecta.

Kalispera Hercules.

Como decía al principio, la foto es perfecta. Su composición, su exposición, sus reflejos, la luz, el lugar,... todo funciona a la perfección y es un lugar que pide a gritos ser visitados.

Ta leme, file mou.

The crowded Molyvos from the top of the hill is very Greek, perfect timing with the water so still to take advantage of the reflection. Well done.

Hola Hercules,

No sé si empezar for felicitarte por tu absoluto dominio del español o por el de la fotografía. Lo cierto es que ambos son para tí "pan comido".
Me siento atraído especialmente por el precioso colorido, saturación, contraste y reflejos pero, en esta imagen, todo está de maravilla. ¡Enhorabuena!

Un saludo,

Γεια σου Ηρακλή
Μια ακόμη υπέροχη φωτογραφία σου. Αυτό που κάνει εντύπωση σ' αυτή εδώ είναι η απόλυτη ρύθμιση λευκού, όχι πως σε άλλες είναι λάθος αλλά συχνά στις συγκεκριμένες συνθήκες συχνά δυσκολεύομαι πολύ. Όπως πάντα κάδρο και ευκρίνεια σε άριστα επίπεδα.
Χαιρετώ Χρήστος
Υ.Γ. Δεν θα σε δούμε αυτό το καλοκαίρι στο Καρπενήσι ή μας το κρατάς για το χειμώνα ?

I am amazed at the quality and the colors, and yes, it is 1Ds Mark III...
It deserves a wider angle imho, but what else would i expect to see from a lovely Greek village? Just makes me dream...

Hola Hercules:

Sin duda de que es un precioso lugar, y en la composición de la foto, cada detalle está muy bien aplicado.

El encuadre, la luz, los reflejos, los tonos, todo se vislumbra con calidad y esplendor.

bostankorkulugu (42866) 2008-08-06 0:14

the town on the background is great of course, but what makes this shot so charming is the boats and their reflections i think... sooo nice giritli mou...

Hola Hércules.
Estupenda fotografía tomada en la hora azul y captada con excelentes colores, iluminacion y magnifico reflejo. El puerto es precioso, me encantaría estar sentado en estos momentos en el restaurante que se ve al fondo. Wow!.
Tu POV es muy bueno así como la vista del pueblo en la ladera de la colina.
Excelente foto.
Abrazos.

hi Hercules

Today is 08.08.08 and it's Beijing Olympics.

You have now 88 points, so let me add 2 more!

Very strong colorful contrast with this fine pov and reflection. You did well for 1s exposure to show very sharp details too.

tfs, bill

ryno (6863) 2008-08-08 8:46

Hi Hercules, this is one of my favourite Mediterranean harbours and you've captured the romantic spirit of Molyvos beautifully. It's the perfect time of the evening when the soft lights and reflections are at their most alluring. Great stuff!
Regards,
Ryno

Hello Hercules,
Lovely photos in all the senses. The architecture and colours of the houses, the port and all the colourfull boats and their reflections, the time of the day you took. all of this contributes for a beautiful composition with lots of charm and a fabulous atmosphere.
Indeed Greece has an oustanding array of little villages which are real gems for the lovers of architecture and its mix with the sea like I am.
Cheers.
Paulo
