Hello Piotr,
As always you show us a very well balanced composition. The building to the side, the large rock opposite it and the terrace in between. Trees partly surround the Treasury which is catching a perfect light. Very well done.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Chris,
This brings nice memories. I was here a few years earlier (but it looked the same then). This view combines the impressive walls with the fine scenery in the distance. There is a very nice view in the WS too. The colours are very well saturated, and the Albanian flag is as always a good eye-catcher (just as good as the Turkish).
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Costantino,
The tower is fine and from this angle it is perfectly surrounded by trees and flowers. It is a nice composition and it is technically excellent. I am glad to see you posting it in a larger version, which makes it possible to enlarge it even more. This time it is perfectly sharp.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Pierre,
Except for the ropes this looks like a wild, natural jungle. The blue parrots are really cute and look like they're in love. They stand out well against the green background.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Kari,
I see the path, which looks comfortable enough, but some persons were also closer to the shore, which looks much tougher. Being stuck there in the rain would have been unpleasant. By this time you still had a good view with decent light. The large red building looks nice.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Silvio,
Another sculptured monster, this time a famous figure from ancient mythology. The light was quite good and you managed excellent contrasts.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Costantino,
Great ambiance, the colors of the sky are amazing. The two lapms add a nice repeated touch. The silhouette of the sailboat adds a character to the scene.
Very romantic, well captured,
M

Zdravo Pavle,
Sjajno hvatanje pčele u cvetu lavande. Imam lavandu u svojoj ba嗾i, ali jo� ne cvetaju. Dani su bili veoma topli kao u Engleskoj nedavno, ali nije bilo mnogo ki啼 pa čak ni trava ovih dana ne raste previ啼, već se prilično su喨.
Divim se o嗾rini pčele ovde,
Veoma dobro obavljeno,
M

Czesc Piotr,
SWietny punkt widzenia na ten most, teraz z upelnie innej strony i pod innym katem. Bardzo fotogeniczne miejsce. Pomysl z samochodem jest niezly ale smiac mi sie chcialo widzac tytul. Zapewne tutaj lepsze wrazenie zrobilby rybak na lodce albo zwyczajny rybak podczas gdy samochod zawsze stwarza wrazenie przypadkowego zasmiecenia kadru. Stwierdzajac jednak w tytule ze samochod nalezy do rybaka udalo ci sie niejako usprawiedliwic ten oryginalny niejako pierwszy plan :)
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M

Hi Lars,
Very interesting architecture -I don't think I have seen a picture of it before and yet I think I would be able to recognize the country, I think they have something characteristic in the style of the churches and castles in this region.
Beautiful quality presentation,
M

Ciao Luciano,
Very original composition with this famous structure, I really like this approach.
The sky is very nice the textture was probably too strongly HDR-ed but it looks impressinve for sure.
I have never see it from this angle.
Excellent work,
M

Hello Ike,
The boat in the background looks like it was moving quite fast. Another boat seems to have passed by just before you took this photo, judging from the trail left behind. Only the sailboat is calmly anchored. There seem to be some nice villas on the shore even though most of them are hidden behind the palm trees. Anyway it's a very nice view.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Jean,
I had the pleasure to visit this place but I was rather disappointed with my photos. I was largely discouraged by the crowds which you have also encountered. I suppose it is what it is, maybe instead of fighting it, I should have gone along with it, as you did.
Tourists do add a colorful touch.
Very well done,
M

Hi Ike,
Amazing colors of the sky and sea. I admire in particular the perfectly round shape of the sun. It is always challenging for me to capture. I suppose it was photographed handheld? Did you set the focus on the sun, on the horizon or on the sea? I ask because honestly my susnset photos are largely "hit or miss" approach, I never know what I am doing with sunsets...
Of course you selected a perfect moment with the sun touching the horizon,
M

Hello Jorge,
There was an interesting pattern created for these walls. It may be a city model, but only with broad avenues. The tropical plants adorn the foreground. In case it had been possible you might have tried to find an angle that would have removed the small bridge. But maybe there was no other place to stand. What do I know?
Best regards,
Gert

Ciao Silvio,
Amazing sculpture which tells a story as well. Interesting combination of the elephant and the soldier. The soldier is caught in a nice pose which was certainly difficult to sculpt.
Very well seen and captured,
M

Hi Chris,
Very elegant decoration of the room. It reminds me the rooms I have seen in Egypt in the perfume factory.
Nice capture, I would never guess its location,
M

Czesc Krzysztof,
Bardzo fajna kolekcja broni. Widac tez ze ciagnie sie jeszcze dalej za zakretem. POdoba mi sie ze takie fajne oswietlenie zaprojektowali, nie ma ostrych swiatel a jednak wszystko dobrze oswietlone.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M

Hello Malgo,
The light was better in the other direction, and the other WS shows us the panels more clearly, but you made the absolutely right choice to use this as the main photo. The children, and also the persons further to the side, are totally essential for the impact of the photo. It's a very interesting story behind this, so thank you for the long note.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Krzysztof,
A good collection of sword, rifles and uniforms used in wars a long time ago. It's a well framed photo with perfectly managed light.
Best regards,
Gert
