Hi everyone,
by popular demand I'm back. :) As you may know, I dropped off the face of TL for a while. I'm being overworked at work and just to tired with little motivation for anything :(
Although, I do pop in and see what people have posted.
Thanks to my TL friends for keeping tabs on me (Vassilis, Dawn,Cloverstar) I appreciate your efforts and concerns.
Anyway, I call this Sunset Silhouettes as I was photographing these flowers during a sunset.
I hope you like it. I know it's a little grainy due ot a high crop factor.
Enjoy (*_-)

Hi Constantinos, I also know Dawn, whether thats a good thing I don't know :)She is going to kill me for that.
I like it, lovely colours with a dreamy effect. Try running the photo through Neat Image, I did and it will remove much of the 'graininess' TFS

Hi Constantino,
Very nice photo, I like to see the sun colors that reflect on the silhouette of these flowers. The colors are superb and the composition with this DOF and the choice of frame is really good. TFS
Luc

Hi Constantinos, nice to see you! Yap, I am familiar with that mood you're in, I'm hard to see here lately :( Hopefully, we will see each other more in the next year :)
I like this shot, brings that lonely and "desperate" mood very well, I can imagine those flowers swinging because of the wind. Colors and light is great, congratulations!

Have a good end of the year my friend, try not to loose the strength. See you in a while, regards!
Robert

Constantinos,
light is very beautiful here,and DOF excellent.the silhouettes of that flowers is very relaxing to look at actually with this golden light on them.
regards

Welcome back then, nice shot here, I enjoy the sunsets. Great silhouettes.

Good to see a picture from you, Constantinos and sorry to hear you are so busy at work. Very different picture from your usual Greek Tourist Board picture, but a really good one. I like the end of day light in this one with rich tones. Nice composition as well with the flowers in the foreground. Well done!

Sorry, I have run out of green smile for the day and take care!

Γεια Κωνσταντίνος Θα έλεγα ότι έχετε κερδίσει το σπάσιμο διακοπών σας. Αγαθό για να δει μια φρέσκια θέση από σας. Σας έχουν λείψει tl. Συμπαθώ ρηχά dof & το graphism σε αυτήν την εικόνα. Συγχαρητήρια.

Hi Constantinos

I would say you have earned your vacation break. Good to see a fresh post from you. You have been missed on TL. I like the shallow dof & graphism in this image. Congratulations.

HeLLO!
We were all missing your presence here in TL! I'm glad to know that you are fine, and ..that you didn't forget us.
You will always surprise us with wonderful shots as this one! The composition is great! The DOF offers amazing textures and the colors, the contrasts, the play with shadows are stunning!
Congratulations.
Luci

Welcome back Constantinos. The golden colours of the setting sun makes a very nice backdrop for these wild flowers. Excellent close up with a nice crop.
Try to rest a little before Christmas so you can enjoy it.

Glad to see some more of your work on TL, Κώστα. This is not one you made for EOT, I gather ? I love sunsets, I love silhouettes, and I love flowers. Thanks for this lovely combination.
Take care,


Frank

Excellent shot! The colors are superb and the composition with this DOF and the choice of frame is fantastic. Nice to have you back my good friend.

This is really a beautiful image,Constantinos. There is such a romantic and nostalgic feeling in this. Those little 'heads' look like observing and enjoying the sunset, the background is so lovely. Beautiful colour tones, compliments!
