Sirmata..the other side, a photo from Kyklades, South Aegean

Photographer's Note

Sirmata the other side of the little fish village.This shot was taken a little bit earlier of the previous one,during the sunset, with the warm sun beams to floodlight the village.

In the background on the top pf the mountain,you can see Plaka, the capital of Milos.

I wish you a pleasant Sunday.

Hej Danos,
The variations between light and dark together with the colourfull doors saves this difficult shot. Whats attract me most is the point of view and the different villages.

A very pretty composition taking full advantage of the warm tones of the late afternoon sun. I like the presence of the boat in the foreground and the colourful reflections.

alvaraalto (42804) 2008-08-24 13:48

Hi Danos,

The colours of this picture are so attractive. All that different colours in the doors and windows of the houses and of course the warm glow of the sunset.

Groet Rob

pierrefonds (114628) 2008-08-24 17:41

Hi Danos,

The reflections in the water are assets to the composition. The good light on the houses brings out the beaurty of the colors. The curve line of the mountains is a complement to the composition. The scenery is clear and precise. Have a nice day.

Pierre

parbo (11092) 2008-08-24 19:19

Hi Danos,

Latest sun lights on facades and their reflections are spectacular with very attractive vivid colored windows and doors. Typical Aegean texture at background completes your scene perfectly. It must be great pleasure taste mezes and ouzos in small balconies there. Cheers! Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

Γεια σου Δάνο,
very nice picture with a good composition. I like to see those white houses with the coloured windows and doors from the sea point. That small town on the hills is very nice too here, well seen and taken scenery.
Marvelous clarity and light.
All the best.

stego (24132) 2008-08-25 12:23

Hi Danos,
As usual, it is very well composed, I like specially the X done by the hills, that crosses on houses, which in turn look like an hourglass. The fuzzy reflections on the water are also wonderful.
It would make me and many of others very proud, however I think that it isn't at the level you used me. I say this mainly because of the sharpness, which I imagine that suffered from the light, but I am not fully satisfied with the colours either, it looks a bit too red.
Regards, José.

josepmarin (59385) 2008-08-25 13:10

Hi Danos,
This simple architecture has an excellent graphism and a few very attractive colors, in a composition that creates a good contrast with the boat in FG and where the reflections increase the beauty of this place.
I like the low light of the sunset, its shades, and the nice warm tones of the image.
Nice work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

Hello Danos:

We re-create with a shot of this beautiful site.

In this case, the side effect of sunlight, has given the scene a touch of subtle coloration, very striking, which makes houses highlighting price.

The composition is splendid at all levels. And the environment can be appreciated, radiates calm. Thank you for sharing
