[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.

A group of people gather at the Aphrodite rocks in Cyprus to watch the setting of the sun. See Larger Version In ancient times people came here to join in fertility rituals here and at the nearby temple.

Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Pafos is where Aphrodite is said to have risen from the waves that crash on it's shores. Her birthplace was a place of pilgrimage for the whole Hellenic world.

Very good LP shot.
Nice POV, good light and composition.
Very well done.

Hi Stephen
Very nice landscape. I see most of Aphrodite has been eroded - lol.
IMO, I would clone-in the white part of the sun, the only minor nit I have on this post.

Hi Stephen, this is brilliant. The composition is very strong and the sunset is beautifully captured. Well done.

Very interesting post, great colours. Just one thing, you should rotate the picture 1 degree ccw to get a flat sea.
Well done.
TFS.

very interesting landscape, i like the lights and composition.
very good work stephen !

Very well done, Stephen. I like particularly the "bicolor" Sun as well as the fact that you could capture the details on the rocks in the darker front part of the image. (Especially that I do have exactly the same equipment as you do.) Good note too. TFS.

A very nice landscape shot. Composition and light are very nice. I agree that the horizon line is off just slightly. Still a great picture!

Wow Stephen, this is stunning! I wish this one was mine!

Very well done and thanks for posting.

Always nice to see you post. Beautifull sunset Stephen. The grey and contrasting reds works wonders. Exceptional in LP. Great shot!

Excellent photo Stephen! Indeed a great place to be for the sunset. As I've living in Cyprus for some months now, the Aphrodite's rocks were among the first place to visit.

Stephen, another beautiful landscape you show us.

Poetic and suggestive, a nice mood.

Hi Stephen

I am looking through your portfolio to see what I have missed as it would be my misfortune to not look at all your work.

This is a stunning shot. Good timing. I know how quickly the sun sets and a slight hesitation can cause you to 'miss the moment' Nice colours and POV. Nice work. Thanks.
