Pyrgos Steps, a photo from Kyklades, South Aegean

Photographer's Note

One of the many beautiful little corners in the village of Pyrgos on Santorini, Greece. The village itself is perched high on a hill overseeing the whole volcanic island. A Venetian castle sits at the very top of the narrow winding streets.

Hello Brian!
Another "very Greek" photo. The beautiful staircase going up, the balcony is completely funkciótlan, but nice. A large amphora hit the red flowers. The small picture at the end of the passage neatly expresses the composition. The colors ... well ...
Sincerely,
Csaba

Hello Brian,
ritengo che questa sia tra le tue foto più belle.
A parte la bella composizione, l'immagine presenta un processo di PP di elevato livello.
Luce gestita molto bene e resa cromatica a dir poco eccellente.
Soltanto una leggera sovraesposizione sul bordo del primo scalino.

Complimenti!
Francesco

I feel in Greece by looking at your shot. A warm light very pleasant. The red and blue colors make your shot attractive. And I like the shades on the wall making this place and your shot full of charm.
A nice composition with a perfect quality.
Good work as always.

Hello Brian,

Maybe my comments may have been mentioned in earlier critiques, but I like this composition - from the perspective it was taken, the combination of stone textures, as well as the vibrancy in the colours. There must be something in Greece - from your pics....

TFS,
May
