Βασίλη, this is a stunning nightshot from one of my favourite places in Greece. Compo & lighting are magnificent. I suspect a very slight tilt clockwise, but that's just my usual nit-picking... TFS, TFS².

Καλησπέρα φίλε Βασίλη

Έχεις δίκιο να είναι από τις αγαπημένες σου καθώς ο φωτισμός είναι χαμηλός και εξαιρετικός. Τα χρώματα απαλά, μου θυμίζουν έντονα το λυκόφως σε κάποιο νησί των Κυκλάδων που πέρασα πολύ όμορφα.

Twilight shots are so beautiful. This one has a bit of mystery to it - I like how a little of the city is shown in the background.

Perhaps the tilt is more an illusion caused by the shapes of the buildings? Lovely colours Vassilis, well composed and well presented. TFS,

I've been here and took a day-time shot. It wasn't nearly as romantic as this is. you caught the lighting at dusk just right. it gives it a wonderfully calming quality contrasted with the stronger lighting from within. I would have tried to find a way to eliminate the structures seen through the right-hand arch and found the sky there too. It is the only distraction for me

Super colors , composition and framing Vassilis.

I wonder what they are, Skylights, chimneys , Ventilation ?
Thank you for your light!

One of my friend ( a lovely lady ) training at the gym with me is going on a three weeks holiday on May 23rd! She will stay in Santorini for 3 or 4 days during her cruise. She is two years ahead of us!!!! Boy , I wish I could do it that soon.

Cheers!

Hello Vassilis,
This is a magical shot. I like the range of color in the sky, the glow that emanates from the structure in the foreground, and the way the buildings in the background peek through the arches of the structure (what are they called?).
All the best,
Karen
