Hello Danos,
very interesting notes to describe the island . The wonderful sunset seen under the bridge really set the atmosphere of the scene. Nice use of the sea as your foreground with spectacular reflections..The quality of the picture is great as well as the light management.
All the best.

Hi Danos,

it's such a great sunset shot. The sun is perfectly framed by the passagen bridge. I like those silhouettes and the fine textures on the water. The crop in panorama fits pretty well. Beautiful and well presented composition. Well done!
Regards,
PS: I appreciate your words on my last post and I'm glad it's in your list. Thank you!

Hej Danos,
Its intressting to see the people on the bridge taking photos of the sunset, missing the beautiful arch that you caught in the very same sunset. Informative note as usual, right in the TE spirit!

Kali mera, Danos -

An interesting perspective on photography: taking a picture of people taking a picture of the sunset - and producing a better sunset picture than they probably did!

The division of sky and sea is very even, and some part of me wants to say it didn't work, but overall I think it did, because the bulge of the bridge makes it less even. Nice!

Best,
Dan

Hi Danos!
Beautiful sunset! The reflections are very good, the unusual shape of the bridge and also those people. Seems they were also enjoying the moment and taking photos. Good composition with good colours and sharpness.

Γεια σου Δάνο, πανέμορφη εικόνα με εξαιρετικά χρώματα και οξύτητα. Μου αρέσει πολύ ο ήλιος έτσι όπως είναι κάτω από την καμάρα της γέφυρας και οι φιγούρες των ανθρώπων αριστερά που δείχνουν να φωτογραφίζουν το ηλιοβασίλεμα. Χαιρετώ,
Κώστας.

Olá Danos, in the thumbnails made me remember the famous bridge of Venice...Marvellous sunset mood and silhouette that seems like a snake or a dragon, making its way over the water. Perfect placement of the bright circle in the right spot - it's a nice feeling, seeing people walking above the sun. The bridge handrail makes a nice graphism. Beautiful image.

Hi Danos,
I use to go often there in the 60,s and early 70's, as we was living in Parga many years... Nice view of the bridge, somehow reminding the pictures of U Bein teak wood bridge in Myanmar, maybe because of the strong sunset color! Good idea to place the sun under the middle arch!

Beautiful use of the setting sun with superb silouettes, sharp and clear. Beautiful colors.

PS. Dumanli daglar, aman aman are the words of a song, meaning smoky mountains, aman aman has probably the same meaning in Greek as well.

Hello Danos,

You found a fine point of view for this moment!
A well composed presentation, I won't even mention the warm colours as they are present in all sunset images but what is a bit unusual here is the use of the the audience as an element in composition...
Sharp fine details, and that special bridge is an eye-catcher!

Hi Danos,

Perfect timing while using silhouettes of busy aesthetic bridge. Its arch perfectly merged with your creative skill while adding not every time available tones of sunset colors to your splendid scene. Easily recognizable next visitors also trying to capture same scene but I'm sure they couldn't got brilliant result as yours. Congratulations.

I love the way you have used the arch of the bridge to frame the setting sun. There is still plenty of light on the scene and you have been able to show the ripples in the water for added texture. The people on the bridge are a great addition. Well done

Όλος ο φωτισμός είναι εξαιρετικός.

Surely that is a photo with a great compositional power.

Good idea to make the shot behind the bridge, in order to highlight the clear-cut silhouettes. The sunset is spectacular, with an excellent frame and a high depth of field.

Great job.

Έχει πολλές ομορφιές η Λευκάδα. Είναι πολύ καλός προορισμός για διακοπές αλλά τώρα τελευταία πολλοί την αποφεύγουν λόγω της έντονης σεισμικής δραστηριότητας. Ακούγονται φήμες πολλές για συνέχιση αυτής της δραστηριότητας. Ας ελπίσουμε να πέσουν έξω!
Η φωτογραφία διακρίνεται για τον νοσταλγικό χαρακτήρα της.

Πολλούς χαιρετισμούς!

Hi Danos,
A beautiful sunset caught in this composition, I like the luminosity and the smoothness of the warm tones of the Sun that contrast with the gray silverings of the water and of the sky.
The silhouettes of the cross-light are magnificent, and you have had a good eye to place the Sun between the arch of the bridge and the line of the horizon, it gives a great aesthetic result to the photo.
Nice shot.

Γεια σου Δάνο
Σε ζηλεύω γιατί παρ' όλο που έχω περάσει από αυτή τη γέφυρα πολλές φορές, δεν κατάφερα να απολαύσω τέτοιο θέαμα. Η επιλογή της στιγμής (με τους φωτογράφους πάνω στη γέφυρα) και το προσεκτικό σου κάδρο την κάνουν ανεπανάληπτη. Λίγο η συμπίεση για το ανέβασμα στο ΤΕ σου τα χάλασε στον ουρανό αλλά σαφώς δεν ήταν στο χέρι σου να το διορθώσεις, αφού εξάντλησες απ' ότι βλέπω το όριο των 200kb.
Τα συγχαρητήριά μου λοιπόν.

J'avais laissé passer cette superbe photo alors que je trouve une petite merveille. La très bonne idée c'est ce cadrage qui fait apparaitre le disque du soleil dans l'arche de ce pont magnifique alors que des silhouettes humaines se dessinent au dessus.
Excellent !
