This is a cheeky picture. Every time i composed the boat in the frame a young lady would appear and stand in my view. In the end i just took the shot!!

Hi Mark,
this one is a beautiful shot...

the composition is so nice...

I love the blue and brown colors together...

see you.. Alper

great POV
and very colourful
i like it but i think it should be better to take just one step to left. then the girl was completely on the picture
but u did a very good job

Hey mate,
Wow, what a cool shot from Greece!
well composed with POV, beautiful colour and details
the lady just another bonus, I think!
best regards
Tony

LOL, are you sure she got in your shot and you were not just creeping around behind her with the camera ;)

A very 'cheeky' shot

Pleasant memoirs over snowstorm mark.
Pretty shot. Ver well done. tfs. stev

LOL Mark,
Yes, I'm sure that she didn’t do it on purpose :))) This makes a big contrast with the weather we have here! This is so nice, it makes me dream... Maybe you could have told the girl to be a little closer to the boat... This is beautiful! Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Mark,

And I thought the boat was getting in the way! (^_^)
Kefalonia is a beautiful Island and you captured parts of its beauty here! A real postcard photo!

Well done

Hi Mark,
That's funny--- a great photo. Looks so warm. WHAT A TAN ! Well composed, nice details, excellent colors, and it appears the girl is looking for seashells.

Hello Mark

Come on Mark, don't try to fool us! I'm sure you didn't even see the boat.

Nice shot.

Regards, Sylvain

Nothing wrong with her standing on your way. The boat is good, but the lady looks way better... wink wink. If we really critique you here.. the only thing that I find disturbing with the entire photo is the girl swiming on the right hand side. It takes away from the boat and the girl.

DAM

Very well seen Mark!
Nice shot!Please show us the next one from the same session.
Cheers.
Cezar

Hi Mark,
Lovely photo from Kefalonia.
Somehow I love those Beach Bums :)
Great photo with great ioanian sea color,blue sky,bum,boat and overall composition.TFS

Hi Mark
Well, three options.
1. Shift your view slightly left to include her left arm and some space beside her, so that she is part of your subject.
2. Ask her to gaze out to sea for your shot (or turn around and face you, if she's that way inclined.)
3. Tell her to get out of your photo.
Colours and sharpness are lovely anyway, it has a real sense of beachside heat.
Thanks for sharing
Rew

A cheeky shot indeed. Looks like a great place to shoot images. Makes me want to be there.

Regards,
Joe

Hi Mark,

Beautiful visual, typical of a hot afternoon of summer. Beautiful and pleasant landscape, with beautiful colors. I see that it accomplished his dream.
Congratulations

This young lady is really ok,very nice image, perfectly composed.
Regards Rose

Awesome! She does not bother my eye at all!! Good composition - the kind of shot you'd find in brochures/posters. Well done!

That would be the perfect post card of this place... Congratulations for the shot and your lucky!!! :)

Hi Mark,
Excellent photograph you've captured here. Fantastic colours and, um...scenery ;-) I haven't been to Kefallonia but have been to three other islands and I remember the wonderful blues of the sky and the sea - both of which you've captured beautifully here. Cheeks...I mean, Cheers, Todd

Saludos Mark

La composición la hace una bella imagen todo lo que debe contener el mar no falto nada gracias por compartir

Nat

i think it works quite well with the lady in the frame mark :)
excelllent clarity and colors
well composed and framed :)

koh

colourful shot although a little blurry but the general effect is nice
I hate that also, when someone just pops up in the picture zone! (*_^)
