The Faraglioni, a photo from Naples, Campania

Photographer's Note

The Faraglioni are three blocks of rock which have survived coastal landslides, erosion by the sea and all manner of atmospheric corrosion.

The rocks have each been given a name: the first, still attached to the land, is called Stella, the second, separated from the first block by a stretch of sea; Faraglione di Mezzo and the third, Faraglione di Fuori or Scopolo, in other words the head or promontory stretching into the sea.

The Romans were especially fond of this area of Capri: in ancient times scattered with splendid villas and shady ninfei, later to become the much sought after retreat of artists in the nineteen hundreds and now home to exclusive residences and luxury hotels.

Amazing shot Stephen, it feels like one of those pirate movies or something, perfect wide composition and exposure, that boat adds a wonderful touch to the whole shot, well done again and keep them coming, regards, Salas

Great panoramic view. The landscape is just brilliant. The boat with travellers gives a nice dynamism in it.

Great shot! I like the long horizontal frame that you used, which shows these amazing rocks well, and without distractions. Our eyes are pulled right along the line of the horizon. I like the inclusion of the boat too, which gives some importand scale and contrast to this. Nicely done!

Hi Stephen,
Very good marine view, very curious rock.
I prefere the left part of the photograph with that beautifull colors, but it is really a good idea to keep the right part with that boat despite the very hard sun. The balance of the photo was kept.
Well done.
Regards.
