Hi Alan,
We have been discussing composition.
I would like to point out that you did a fantastic job in composition. Offset the sun, a well balanced image. Not only that, what a beauty, congrats friend. Beautiful capture.
TFS. Must be nice to have a birthday prezzy like that. Hmmm, can you have your wife talk to mine.?

Man, what a place! Similiar to Pam's copper suns, extraordinary colours, hazy horizon, sea. I bet you've got great time ;-) Lovely composition with church and old wind-mill. More!

Hi Alan, this sounds like a terrific place to have a holiday. Beautiful warm colours in this scene, quite moody, but restful. Well composed, just the perfect shot. Thank you.

Hello Alan,
a very nice sea/landscape. Looks like a picture-card. I like it. Warm colours and good sharpness. It´s for me a little bit dark.

Hello Alan

Welcome back! You have just visited on the the places at the top of my wish list! Maybe one day we will be fortunate enough to get there but till then I will have to experience the scenery through your eyes, for this opportunity, I thank you!

What can I say about this sensational sunset and the quality of the image. To be perfectly honest, words escape me as I sit an view this in awe.

Hello Alan,

Happy birthday! "For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow and so say all of us!" :) It's great to have you back. This is a spectacular sunset. Colors are really warm and details are great. I would have been tempted to crop some of the dark lower parts, just under the dark silhouettes of the buidlings, which are fantastic and gives us an idea of the whereabouts. Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

As for the photo, I do enjoy composition.

Great colors, great mixture between light and dark shades.

Excellent job.

Hello Alan, glad to se you back and I hope you had a great holiday. Happy birthday too!

The shot is very well composed and the colours are excellent. I would try and darken the FG a little more in order to lose the people there. Apart from that it's great, well done.

Fantastic capture Alan! Very well composed and I like the low-lit FG showing a sample of the Greek architecture there. I got worn out just reading about this special day of R&R ;-)
Well done my friend!

Beautiful image Alan, great contour with the gradient colour, pleasant sunset and beautiful sky. I like the composition with the big black area. No nits, alhough I try to find them.
Thanks for this post, and for your sincere last critic, I agree very much with and find it very useful. Regards, Felipe.

As I suspected, it was your birthday trip! You did the exact itinerary we did, including viewing the sunset from Oia!! I'm glad you had a wonderful time, and especially happy you captured this gorgeous image, damn those people screwing up good pictures!

Nice post, Alan, have a great weekend!

Hi Alan, this is a stunning image. This island's fame is obviously well deserved and you've certainly done it justice. This is a wonderful backlit scene making the sunset centre stage and what a gloriously understated skyline. A great birthday I should think and a happy belated one from me :)

Hello Alan,
I appreciate this late day shot, most images from this POV are daytime showing the typical Greek colours...
Beautiful sunset, fine reflection and sharp silhouettes... Very pleasing to look at!
Greetings,

Hi Alan
Beautiful composition. Kind of everything in the shadow, and very well one can see details. Also a last flash of the sun is wonderful on water. (translator)
