Boat chatting, a photo from Kefalinia, Ionian Islands

Photographer's Note

Some of the boats that make the small tour around the spectacular cave-lake of Melissani (***CHECK HERE***) while waiting for new visitors. The boatmen can't miss the opportunity for a little chatting.

Photo take from above, through the hole of the "cabrio" cave-lake.

Hi Hercules!
Great idea! Interesting, amusing and wonderful visual results!
Sharpness, exposure, colors, high pov, horizontal format, pp, contrasts and composition are all outstanding features in this photograph!
Highlights are the moment of chatting that you caught, the colors and clarity of the water, the "stars" on the water surface...
Best regards,
Neyvan

Hello Hercules
The scene gets its magic from the repetition of the blue and orange colours and by te reflction of the splashes against a darker background, well done.

Bonsoir Hercules.
Ένα πολύ αρχικό και πολύ καλά που γίνεται στερεότυπο. Ο φωτισμός είναι θαυμάσιος, και αυτές βάρκες είναι θαυμάσιες. L' η γωνία της λήψης πολύ καλά βρίσκεται και δίνει μια όμορφη διάσταση σε αυτό το στερεότυπο. Μπράβο.

Hi Hercule
erxcellent the graphism of this picture. Color and composition are perfect. And also you found unusual POV
well done
Bertrand

macjake (98262) 2010-06-30 12:04

Hi Hercules
this is a true masterpiece in composition and using your height to your advantage.
most of the time, depth is created by elongating the photo, but in this case the depth is created by going down into the water - love it.
the boats are beautifully placed and give off a vivid array of colours.
well done!
Cheers
craig

Very nice Hercules !
I hope they got a good price buying their 3 boats together !
I have looked at another shot in your gallery before this one and I have to say you really have impressive shots. Like a bird.
I like very much this one and I see I'm not the only one. Colors are beautiful. The sea in Greece has really a particular color very photogenic and with a composition like this one, it's a real pleasure to look at.
