[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
"Foam-arisen" Aphrodite was born of the sea foam after Cronus cut off Uranus' genitals and threw them behind him into the sea and then went back to feast on them. Hesiod's Theogony described that the genitals "were carried over the sea a long time, and white foam arose from the immortal flesh; with it a girl grew" to become Aphrodite. This fully grown up myth of Venus (the Roman name for Aphrodite), Venus Anadyomene[11] ("Venus Rising From the Sea") was one of the iconic representations of Aphrodite, made famous in a much-admired painting by Apelles, now lost, but described in Pliny the Elder Natural History.

Hi Vlad,

Beautiful shot of the coast of Greece. I'd like to be sitting right there with some feta, olives, and bread!

Nice beautiful blue water. It's so crystal clear. I am somewhat indecisive about frames, but I must admit... you have a clever one here!

hi Vlad

Very nice color mix and really nice view of this beach. Shot in bright light and showing attractive elements. Good work.

TFS, bill

Intotdeauna am avut un interes aparte pentru zei/zeite.
Superba compozitie.

Hi Vlad,

So glad you told us what the attraction of Greece is - glad to see you can dream.
A lovely clear view of the sea that is getting blue, bluer and even more blue......and the sun sparkles of the water just fine.

Hello Vlad,

You can be sure that you are whole in Olympus!
Zeus marked a meeting with all the gods,
but you can be sure that there won't be any Clash of Titans.
Beautiful sea of crystalline waters.
With every certainty she deserves his theme - " United Colors of Greece "
Congratulations
