Great catch of this flying nymph. Good timing and a beautiful subject, along with the colors of the water and sky combine to make this a wonderful image. Well seen and well captured.

hi sifis

great colour and dof here. it really brings out the details of the subject. i like the light and patterns on the water. a really good action shot all-round. well done!

Roly (2024) 2007-04-17 19:46

Great capture, I thought I had seen a very similar shot in your gallery a while ago, but I must have been wrong. The subject and background are equally appealing, the focus is perfect and the motion is nicely frozen. Quite a dynamic look to it. Maybe the crop is just a bit too tight around the subject. Glad to see you posting again after a lenthy break.

Hi Sifis,

Very nice composition and I think with the stunning & mysterious model in the picture and the beautiful place this will surely capture a lot of eyes.

Very nice Sifis, very well composed, you have captured her body position in a great way, her arm just fit perfectly in the frame. The background and Depth are also excellent, very good work !

poulinp (4528) 2007-04-17 21:32

This POV is very good. The girl is very sharp and well situated, and the horizon is perfect.

csavery (172) 2007-04-17 23:17

Perfect timing and nicely composed. Crystal clear sharpness to. Well done.

Hi Sifis,

Nice shot. Very good management of the shutter speed to get this shot. Great colours and contrast. Very good use of the DOF. The background has come out very well.

Hi Sifis. Very good frozen shot of diving in the blues beneath with the blues above. Regards.

Beautifully woman. Very fine and nice composition.

Xalkida (11744) 2007-04-18 1:25

Καλώς τον Σήφη που από την μακρόχρονη απουσία το γύρισε σε μαζικό ποστάρισμα! :)

Πολλή ωραία σκηνή, τόσο για το πιάσιμο της κίνησης της βουτιάς όσο και για την κοπέλα βεβαίως βεβαίως. Μια πιασιάρικη φωτογραφία από έναν φωτογράφο που ξέρει να τις καταγράφει σωστά και καθαρά!

rajiv_077 (1412) 2007-04-18 1:32

Γειά σου Σήφη,
Υπέροχη φωτογραφία με καταπληκτικό κάδρο και άψογος συγχρονισμός. Πραγματικά ο ορισμός της αποφασιστικής στιγμής. Η ποιότητα (φως, χρώματα, οξύτητα) είναι τέλεια! Πάρα πολύ καλή δουλειά.

ΥΓ:Την φωτογραφία σου αυτή την είχα ξαναδεί πριν από 3-4 εβδομάδες αλλά ξαφνικά εξαφανίστηκε...

Φιλικά Γιάννης

What a great action shot, sharp and great curves treatment.

Elaine_Blath (8471) 2007-04-18 4:15

Hi Sifis,

wonderful capture of movement, perfectly placed and managed, although only one little drawback for me: that her hand is hidden in the rocks, but nevertheless full of summer atmosphere!

take care, Ivana

wolf38 (30) 2007-04-18 5:11

Hello sifis. A marvelous picture and a outstanding study of the movement. A user described once to another photo "I would like to be a bird". This applies also here. Very beautifully and worth seeing. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hi Sifis,
I like this POV, the girl, her position and the colours are fantastic. Good details, regards, Stella

Cretense (68709) 2007-04-19 4:00

Καλώς ήρθες πίσω, Σήφη!

Μας έλειψαν οι εκπληκτικές φωτογραφίες σου! Έλπίζω να μη χαθείς πάλι! Εδώ έχουμε ένα εξαιρετικό timing και εξαιρετική επιλογή ταχύτητας κλείστρου ώστε να παγώσει η κίνηση. Με το ανοιχτό διάφραγμα φλουτάρισες το φόντο. Η εστίαση σου είναι εξαιρετική και τα χρώματα θαυμάσια. Ελπίζω να μην ακουστώ φαλλοκράτης, αλλά βοήθησε και αυτό το θεσπέσιο κορμί! Τα θερμά μου συγχαρητήρια!

Ηρακλής

Emiel_Skyfreak (3002) 2007-04-19 8:23

Hi Sifis,

Wow, great photo. Excellent timing and good freeze of the subject. The frame well filled with this elegant lady..very well done! (good crop)
The intensity of the colours amazes me, with 1/1600th of a second to burn in those colours on the sensor. Well saturated, fine sharpness on the girl and good DOF. I think you did a good job with the curves..I'm not that good with Curves..but it seems you are :-))

Tfs & greetings.

bertolucci (14052) 2007-04-20 3:28

Hi Sifi, I knew without looking at the caption that this is work of you. Wellcome back! I love the way you frooze this moment in time and give us the oppertunity to admire the elegance of the woman and this classic sea scape. Great work!
Have a nice weekend,
Bert

Πετάει η κοπελιά;;; Ναι πετάει...Την αδικείς
όμως όταν αναφέρεις μόνο ως μοντέλο μόνο την
CANON...Mαστόρικη δουλειά Σήφη."Πάγωσες"
άψογα την κίνηση,συνέθεσες θαυμάσια το κάδρο με το σώμα της κοπέλας στη διαγώνιο δίνοντας
στη σκηνή ιδιέταιρη ενεργητικότητα...!
Περιμένω τις καινούργιες φωτο. σου.Είμαι εθισμένος με τη πάρτη σου.

danos (110407) 2007-06-02 7:59

Σήφη γειά σου,
αποθανάτισες μια πολύ ωραία στιγμή με την κοπέλα να είναι έτοιμη να βουτήξει στα καταγάλανα αυτά νερά για να δροσισθεί.Εξαιρετική φωτογραφία,που παρ' όλη την κίνηση, την φωτογράφησες με πλήρη καθαρότητα.Εξαιρετικός ο φωτισμός και τα χρώματα.Συγχαρήτηρια.
Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος
