[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It's a fact that if you love sunrise/sunset scenes as a photograph theme you must have patience and must be at the right place the right moment to take your shot and would be succesful.

I love this theme of photograph but I don't have many free time to be in the right place the right moment. Anyway when I have time I take shots like this one.

I hope to like it! Have a good summer to all of you :)

I really love this picture, because I only recently found out how difficult it is to make this kind of shot with so much backlight and still manage to show the the village as you did.
With the French I say "chapeau".
Groet,
Joop.

Beautiful sunset picture. Nice tones of blue and reflections on the water.
Check out my pictures, I've posted some sunset shots lately.

I like this scene so much..All you need is a little change to the horizon..

Eko

Καταπληκτική σύνθεη, τα δε χρώματα είναι το κάτι άλλο, δεν ξέρω πόση ώρα περίμενες αλλά άξιζε τον κόπο. Ο ουρανός με τα μπλέ σύνεφα και τις πορτοκαλί και ρόζ πινελιές, ειναι μοναδικός.
Μπράβο!

Good capture, Μπάμπη. A pity it is hard to avoid the red "brim" around the sun, but it's not really disturbing. You should have turned the image clockwise a bit as the horizon is not level. And maybe cloning out the green thing (light?) to the right of the sun would have been even better. Anyway, TFS.

Hello Mpampis,
Your photo is beautiful and I can see the clouds over Daphni, on the right (If I am right). I was in Loutra Aidpisos at the very same time.
See you later,
Natacha

Καταπληκτικό ηλιοβασίλεμα Μπάμπη! Τέλεια χρωματική αρμονία και φοβερή ατμόσφερα. Τα σύννεφα έχουν δημιουργήσει ένα υπέροχο σκηνικό που σε κάνει να μην μπορείς να πάρεις τα μάτια σου από πάνω του.
Συγχαρητήρια φίλε μου! :)

yes, Mpampis, timing is critical for sunrise/sunset photos....and they are one of my favorites. Perhaps one of the reasons I moved to the Gulf of Mexico and so close to the Pacific Ocean?
The greatest thing about these photos is that Mother Naure does it all for you. Very little PP work is needed and at the right moment you snap away as that golden orb changes the colors of the clouds with each snap of the shutter. It is all over within less than 5 mins and you are left breathless from the beauty you have just been privileged to photograh and witness....Lovely shot....TFS...:O)

I already told .. I'm gonna spend my honey moon there :) Lovely picture and amazing blue colors! Well done

Great shot Mpampis .

Like Eko , I feel , a tilt correction would improve it.

This photo was taken on my birthday . I am planning to celebreate my 50th anniversary in these wondorful islands.
And this day is coming fast.....

Cheers!
