[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was in my work in the port of Aegina and after the first ship going i was looking for something to make some photos. And i saw it!!!!! Two storks was on the mole. Storks use Aegina island every year for a short stop in their travel. I was going closer to them and i make some of my best shots. The storks was in love and they played the game of flirt.

nice shot of this loving couple!good colours and compo, not to centered.
but i don't think some will agree with it that the pic isn't taken in full nature..
nice horizon by the way!

good shot anyway!

Hi Konstantinos,

Good shot, I like the composition of the storks on top of the pole.

I would crop some on the top and on the right to give more attention to the main subject.

Saludes,

Iris

Hello Konstantinos This is a really nice photo. I like the way yoy have captured these two with their wings up. The colour of the birds is very striking as is the entire photo

Certainly shows nature continues in our world. I like the shot. I think it would look better if the composition was more simple. I have done a WS I hope you like it.

Bravo Kosta! Mia apo tis kaliteres fotografies soy! Poli omorfi idea kai ektelesi!

All ingredients for a very original photo are present. Two storks playing together, perched on an unusual place, and a warm evening light. But I regret you've not tried to shoot closer (it was perhaps impossible) to put more detail on the scene. Nevertheless, it's a very attractive picture, full of life.

The compositions is unusual (in a nice way). Not what you normally see. The moment you captured needs to be shared. I have no idea as to give you advice on the compo. It's got me.. :) I suppose I would have gone for just the birds, get closer I mean. It's still a nice shot.

Very nice, a bit close maybe...
Good job

Konstantinos, what a great moment you captured here. I have the feeling they are dancing to each other, in a kind of natural ballet.

Very well.

Great photo. One of the best I saw recently ! Thanks very much for sharing. Ori

Hi Konstantinos,

Wonderful! Excellent capture! Very beautiful colors both the in the dancing storks and in the distant mountains. Have you tried to get closer to capture them full frame? I bet they would have made a great picture. I also like the way you composed the picture with the two light poles in the left side! Outstanding work! TFS!

Regards,
Eddie
