Hello Ourania
beautiful picture with pleasant cool colours that are suitable for this quiet and relaxed setting. The composition with the couple and the tree on the left is excellent and I also enjoyed the play of the mild sunlight on the furniture and the tree trunk.
Thanks for sharing and have a nice day.
best regards

Γεια σου Ουρανία,
πιστεύω για σένα αυτή θα είναι μία σκηνή καθημερινότητας,αφού ζεις κι εκεί,
για μένα είναι μιά ξεχωριστή και ζηλευτή σκηνή,σε λίγες μέρες επιστρέφω στην Γερμανία και σίγουρα θα μου λείψουν κάτι τέτοιες στιγμές,
σε χαιρετώ,
Δημήτρης.

Kalispera Ourania,
Fine moment of calm collected, I could do just the same: either sitting with a (large) cup of cafe', or behind with a camera in hand.
Image is clear and show superbly the bay area, like how they would see it. a bit chilly, I guess - if I read the lady's pose correctly.
My best regards,
Ike

Hello Ourania,
This looks very pleasant indeed, a perfect way to spend a part of the day. Those persons had a nice time, and it's a pleasure to watch them and enjoy the same view of the bay and the village. On the left side you included the tree very nicely, on the right side it would have been perfect if you had removed the nearest chair :-). (No offense intended.)
Kind regards,
Gert

Good morning Ourania,
A lovely shot, so tranquil. I can imagine sitting right behind this couple as you were- congratulations on bringing us to your table :)
Ah, lazy afternoons, the best.
Thanks for sharing

Ουρανία, να κάθεται εκει κανείς και να αγναντεύει για ωρες αυτο το υπέροχο τοπίο..και να μην εχει εννοιες ουτε να χρειάζεται να γυρίσει στα καθημερινά...για μένα αυτο ειναι πραγματικές διακοπές, ωρες ξενοισιάς και απόλυτης ηρεμίας!!
υπέροχα χρώματα σε μια απλη αλλά μοναδική σύνθεση!!
καλημέρα να εχεις
Ελένη

Ουρανία γεια σου,
να πραγματικά μια όμορφη στιγμή για το ζευγάρι και για εμας φυσικά,να κάθονται στο τραπεζάκι τόσο κοντά στο κύμα,να απολαμβάνουν το παραδοσιακό καφέ τους,ατενίζοντας τα σπίτια από την άλλη πλαυρά του κόλπου.Εξαιρετικός ο φωτισμός όπως και τα χρώματα της φωτογραφίας.

Σε χαιτετώ,Δάνος

Yes, that would be me sitting there having coffee and just enjoy the view while contemplating the meaning of life as I do every morning while looking out my balcony. Good pov and good use of the silhouette of the couple. Nice details. Well done, tfs.

Hi Ourania,

Yes, a big congratulations to Greece as well for entering the final rounds. Crazy how the tournament shakes out, isn't it? :) I can only imagine the excitement there as well, and well deserved after recent times...you deserve to let loose and have some fun with it.

I love these types of pictures, ones that place me right in the scene. I feel as if I'm the one taking this shot...and I wish I had, that would mean I was actually there! :)

This is where peripheral vision comes in handy, I could survey the landscape and not lose any of its beauty while I concentrate more on watching the cloud formations. What a lovely combination to have, and why not sit back with a drink and some friends and watch the time pass by? A great, relaxed atmosphere to soak up! Enjoy the weekend. All the best.

Friendly wishes,

Jason

Hi, Ourania,
Simple daily life shot with a lot of interesting details. I like your point of view and the clever composition.

This your photo invites me to go from this cold Ural town to the south. I am going to the Mediterranean Sea tomorrow.
Best wishes,
Serghei
