Nice framing and color's composition .
Greece has many ruins locations - a heaven for photographers: I was only in Rodos in 1999 and in Krete in 2005 , It was before my digital-photograph's era.

Hi Hercules
love the vivid blues and lighting on the stonework. I'm sure they once had a marvelous view!
great overall lighting, as it would have been easy to overexpose this scene.
Cheers

Γεια σου Ηρακλή,
Πολύ όμορφη λήψη με υπέροχα χρώματα, το μισογκρεμισμένο σπίτι που μοιάζει με πρόσωπο δημιουργεί με το ωραίο φόντο μια πολύ καλή σύνθεση.
Καλό βράδυ, Βασίλης.

carlosmarin (11954) 2010-04-28 12:18

Hola Hercules,
Fant疽tica composici de la casa en ruinas frente al mar.
Imagen surrealista de una m疽cara con los ojos azules.
Supongo que es la intenci y la idea del POV. Genial.
Un Dal� en Limeni. :-)
Bellos colores y contraste. Y bellas transparencias del mar.
Felicidades.
Un abrazo,
Carlos

hello Hercules,

Wow, incredible game of squares of colored water, sky, stone and earth, excellent creativity and beautiful graphics around the ruined house with this view of the sky, a POV at millimeter, light and colors dazzling,
a wink from blue eyes not yet completely in ruins!
a very poetic title,

best regards,
Valerie.

Hello Hercules!
What an attractive picture!
What's most impressive here are the magnificent colors and brightness! However, the place is truly fantastic and the pov, the sharpness and the composition are all outstanding features here too!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

tober (8797) 2010-04-29 4:34

Merhaba Giritli, what I liked most in this wonderful seascape is the turquoise tone of the water at the foreground and dark blue tone at the further distance which makes a beautiful harmony with the sky. The yellow texture of the demolished house is making a nice contrast against the blue of the sea and the sky. Congratulations, Tolga

Hellas (7123) 2010-04-29 4:42

Θέλει χρώμα η ζωή μας (η σημερινή), θέλει λίγη ζάχαρη ο πικρός καφές μας!
Έχεις αντιληφθεί την έλλειψη και δεν τσιγκουνεύτηκες τα υλικά. Αν ξέρεις πώς να μοστράρεις κιόλας το προϊόν σου, τα βλέμματα των περαστικών είναι βέβαιο ότι θα συγκλίνουν πάνω του.

Ώρες-ώρες αισθάνομαι αδύναμος, αναθαρρεύω όμως όταν αισθάνομαι να τρέμει η γη εκεί που πατούν οι αετοί! Ο τόπος μας έχει πλεονάσματα δύναμης ιδίως στα λεγόμενα χαμηλά στρώματα (ευτυχώς) πάνω στα οποία στηρίζονται τα ψηλότερα.
Η Ελλαδίτσα μας, έχει ανάγκη κάθε είδους σωστής προβολής.
Προσοχή χρειάζεται και καλή διάθεση.
Stand by!

Gerrit (62042) 2010-04-29 5:08

Looks like a great place for a house with that view.
A nice plACE FOR A RUIN TOO.

Hello Hercules,

Here a ruin that you majestically emphasize on this superb photograph where my eyes are fascinated by all these visual effects which are accentuated by the strong contrasts given by your image processing. I like much, in particular, all these nuances of blue. Beautiful work, thank you Hercules.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles

diomed (13926) 2010-04-29 14:51

Hi Hercules,
you played very well with this abandoned house creating a kind of face with eyes. A magnificent creative composition with wonderful colors. TFS
Nice evening

Kalimera Hercules.

Ta leme, file mou.

Hi Hercules, What a wonderful view, seems too good to be true. The blue tones in the sea and the sky are superb. One can only imagine why no one lives here now. TFS Murray

Kielia (24077) 2010-04-30 11:37

Hi Hercules,

My compliments!

John

mkamionka (73374) 2010-05-01 1:05

Hi Hercules,
very attractive composition: I like very much how you positioned the windows and what we can see through them. Very creative: every window shows at least two layers and it makes an impression of richness. This has an interesting combination of symmetry and asymmetry.
Beautiful colors too. The texture of the building is so perfectly sharp.
Fantastic work!
Have a good weekend,
M
