[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Santorini, for me, is one of the most picturesque places in the world. The beautiful architectrure built on the cliff against the blue seas and amazing sunset is what sets it aside from other places.
Many visitors of the island, if not all, go to Oia (one district of the island) to witness the spectacular sunset and no one goes home without a smile on their face because it really is beautiful. In fact, everyone was applauding the sun as it touches the sea. The different colours of the sky reflects the white houses on the cliff makes it more dramatic and engaging to look at.

In this photo, I worked on the levels to give more contrast and drama, resized the photo, sharpened it and placed the frame.

I hope this photo gives justice to the beauty of Santorini.

I have heard so much about Santorini and some day when I return to Greece, I'll be sure to go there.
The photo is beautiful! The sky colors are great, the village looks beautiful - especially with the last of the evening sun touching some of the buildings.
Great job.

Hello Vibes!

I fully agree with you . I am documenting on Santorini for years gathering books, photos and guides.I promessed myself, we will visit this Island one day. 2008 was supposed to be the year , but had to postpone our project one more time.

This vibrant sunset is indeed one more reason to keep this project alive. Ambiance very well captured here with a perfect composition having the sunlight hitting the windows and white walls.

Well done,
Robert

This is an excellent photograph.
Stunning POV/composition and I like the attractive colour gradient in the sky.
Well done. Best regards, Daniel
