Comino, a photo from Comino, North

Photographer's Note

This was taken from the ship that took us from Malta to Gozo.

Comino (Maltese: Kemmuna) is an island of the Maltese archipelago between the islands of Malta and Gozo in the Mediterranean Sea, measuring 3.5 square kilometres (1.4 sq mi) in area. Named after the cumin seed that once flourished in the Maltese islands, Comino is noted for its tranquility and isolation. It has a permanent population of only four residents. One priest and one policeman commute from the nearby island of Gozo, to render their services to the local population and summertime visitors. Today, Comino is a bird sanctuary and nature reserve. Administratively it is part of the municipality of Għajnsielem, in southeastern Gozo.

The rich blue attracts from the thumbnail itself, and opening the image I enjoy the various hues and tones of the blue starting from the sea and going up to the sky.
Well done Daniel,
Rajeev

Hello Daniel,
A fine composition with a pleasing layered effect. The light is ideal to pick out the myriad blue tones of the Mediterranean, which are nicely complemented by the peerless sky.

Hello Daniel,
This is as much as I have also seen of Comino when going the same way. It's a nice shot of the narrow slice of land and the rough pier. There are some very beautiful shades of blue in the water and the sky and a very nice pattern of waves in the foreground.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Daniel
i'm sure Brian will or has already appreciated this one! haha
he loves his blues, so i'm positive it will suit his eye.

thats what caught my attention, the different shades of blue up and down the frame, and the contrasting warm beige/browns.

nice shot indeed.

Hello Daniel,
a beautiful picture with superbly balanced layout in a vertical frame. I absolutely love the colours, the textures and the sunny and breezy day you have captured so effectively. We also get the excitement of the point of view from aboard the ship and the fun of voyaging through this wonderful part of the Mediterranean. You've managed the strong light in an exceptional way. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a good night,
Ourania

Hello Daniel - For me the appeal of this shot lies in the simple but beautifully managed colour and composition. The play of light across the water in the FG adds to the feeling of movement and the austere looking landscape and jetty makes for a good contrast and textural detail. Nicely seen. Warm regards rosemary
