An Allleyway Girl 'snapped'on Mykonos

Treklens, Mykonos, one of the nice alleyways..

Being on a Cruise ship.. walking around with a SLR camera..people ask you questions..

One of them was a nice Gent from Danmark ..
asking me ' do you know a nice photo-club community to join ? Well.. sure I knew one, TL ofcourse..

Good bunch of photographers, no charge..so he decided on the spot to become a member as soon he was home!

Right there we agreed to make various photo's not to come in each others 'waters' . The deal was:

He the 'Birds' ..I the Ladies and so we did.

His Treklens name is *Jens* and he did shoot some cute
birds as you can see .

My Lady here was so busy I did not want to bother her and hope you accept her as she is.

Thanks for your atention Folks

Regards and a salute to Jens:

Wow John this is cool.
As a flower person ofcourse I love the full bloom of them here.
Than the curved alley and looking close, I see a little red Maria statue in the end, cute.
You managed the harsh light and shadows very good
What a places you saw on that trip, fantastic. Thanks :-)

Hi John,
I'm sure he will be proud to be invited by a TL-Legent like you - I have to check out his shots as soon as possible. Your deal was good, I like your shot with the lady. An idyllic place, I love the light and the colours, thanks and greetings

Hi John,
I would have been disappointed if you hadn't chosen the ladies!!! I love the colors in your Greece photos, so white and the reds, blues and other colors are so vivid. Good lighting control and clarity, thanks for sharing,

You sure knows how to deal with ladies, John.
Part of your job, I suppose ?
I,m sure you told this woman.'Pity that they make that fence so HIGH'.
Instead of telling her, she was to short for this kind of actions. haha
But also no doubt you gave her a 'lift', the genleman you are.
Groetjes, Jan

Nice and typical "greece scenery". I like the fact that the greek do paint their houses. Gives a very nice contrast with the sky and the sea.
Good photo with a good note.
greetings,
Joop!

Hi John, splendid light with fascinating colors, great composition with flowers and lovely girl, very well done, ciao Silvio

hi Jovan!!!Another nice shot!Great work and composition!
Pozdrav!!!
A.

What is she doing? Re-arranging the vines on the wall for the photographer? Nice capture, great angle and wonderful colors (flowering bushes - very nice contrasts with the whitewash).
Cheers

Now I have, once again, to correct you Mr. Tulip. It’s thru that we made an agreement, you were taking photos off the ladies and I should make photos off birds, ships and so one. What you have forgotten to tell about our agreement, You should after the photos was taken, play whit the birds I was “photographing”, and I should play whit the ladies you was photographing, and actually it was a demand from the ladies and from the birds.
You even forgot to tell, that before you vent to sleep, you should learn the name off the ship you was a passenger on, in case you was lost going ashore alone.
And se my dear friends, that’s the truth - the whole truth, and nothing else.
But never mind, once again Mr. Tulip have created a beautiful shot, showing the nice island Mykanos.
All the best whishes to you all
Jens.

Hi John,
I like the POV leading to the lady. Great contrast by the flowers and the vines on the sunny white wall. Sharp details. Congrats. TFS

Hi Bro, very nice, well caught in the action. Good light control and white balance. This is a very nice alley.

Take care, sis :)

Bonsoir John :o)
Beau cliché, douce et chaude ambiance, la Grèce quoi ;o) L'angle de vue est excellent, avec ces fleurs fuchsia qui plongent vers la jeune femme, c'est très beau sur ce blanc :o)

Such a nice man you are - let Jens make pictures of birds (and he did - the giant pelicans) then I will make pictures of the ladies - and you did in nice greek alleys.
Wat offer je jezelf toch op. Dat op zich is al een puntje waard.

Hello Sir John,

Such a candid action has been caught in this frame. Heels up on the toes is really attractive. Pleasing surround is adding more charm in the vision. A beautiful take, well done.

Thanks for sharing this picture.
