Photographer's Note
Just back from my summer holidays for this year and I post a very nice photo from Zakynthos island which was the first of the two places I visited.
The colors of the water was marvelous and the place was really like paradise.
More to come, so stay tuned.
No pp for this one. Just a black frame and a signature added.

A beautiful place, Mpampis, looks like you spent a fine summer holiday. This is simple but very nice, with the half-and-half division of textured rock and clear turquoise water, and an essential lively add provided by the swimmer in the red bathing suit. Nice bright light, too, a pleasant shot.

Hi Mpampis,
a really nice capture with stunning colours of the sea, the white beach and the great rock in the background. I like your composition. The swimming guy has a great position in the frame.
Great job,

Serwus Mpampis !
A perfectly refreshing image, very up-to-date, during this hot season we got all over the Europe. Leo's remarks are very valuable here - the composition is nice, the light is well managed, and overall clarity very fine. Although the image is nicely divided on the rocky and water part, i think the idea of putting the horizon line a bit upper (not in cetral point, so - some cropping of upper part) would also work well here.
Best wishes,
M.

Καλώς τον! Ελπίζω να πέρασες καλά Μπάμπη και από ότι βλέπω μάλλον αυτό συνέβη. Εξαιρετική αποτύπωση ένος από τα ομορφότερα μέρη στην Ελλάδα, μια φωτογραφία 100% αντιπροσωπευτική του αξεπέραστου ελληνικού καλοκαιριού. Πάντα τέτοια!

Kalimera Mpampis,
welcome back, there you have been hiding all his time, I can understand it, the colors of the water are awesone and I'd like to share the fate of this swimming guy... The cliff provides a second color dominant and there's even a small beach to rest, paradise !
Have a nice week end,
Jean-Yves

Γειά σου Μπάμπη,
Υπέροχα χρώματα και πολύ καλό χρωματική αντίθεση από τον κολυμβητη μέσα στα γαλαζοπράσινα κρυστάλλινα νερά. Εξαιρετικό επίσης το κάδρο με τους γυμνούς άγριους βράχους να υψώνονται κάθετα στο background. Πάρα πολύ καλή δουλειά!!
Φιλικά Γιάννης

Hi Mpampis,
No need for PP here...A simple but oh so effective shot of this bucolic spot. I like the equal apposition here between the alluring aqua water and the stark yet beautiful white cliffs. The person swimming adds that extra touch and dynamism to make the shot sizzle. Well captured.

Hi Mpampis - the water sure does look inviting, I think the 50-50 division of the horizon works well in this case, the patterns of the cliffs balance the textures of the water.

Hi Mpampis, very nice and attractive photos, that you have been posting, from your holidays. These crystaline waters are marvellous and the beaches are lovely. I chose this one for the simplicity of the composition and the sense of freedom that the boy swimming in foreground give me. I also love the texture of the rock wall in the background. Thanks for sharing,
Ricardo

Απίστευτης ομορφιάς φωτογραφία όπως και η πανέμορφη Ζάκυνθος. Σπουδαία αντίθεση μεταξύ του άσπρου των βράχων,του κόκκινου μαγιώ του νεαρού και των πράσινων νερών.

hi mpapmpis
Interesting catch of the swimmer. The vertical format is good for this compo with the few details. Good use and disposal of included details.

Γεια σου Μπάμπη,
Η φωτογραφία σου ειναι φανταστική, τόσο ως σύνθεση όσο και σε απόδωση χρωμάτων...
Live your myth in Greece, αυτό τον τίτλο θα της έδινα :-)
Χαιρετώ,
Δημήτρης
