change the world., a photo from Lakonia, Peloponnesus

Photographer's Note

You talk about simplicity. When I first made photographs, they were too plain to be considered art and I wasn't considered an artist. I didn't get any attention at all. The people who looked at my work thought, well, that's just a snapshot of the backyard. Privately I knew otherwise and through stubbornness stayed with it... - Walker Evans

I never took it upon myself to change the world. And those contemporaries of mine who were going around falling for the idea that they were going to bring down the United States government and make a new world were just asses to me. - Walker Evans

Hello Georgios,
A pleasant well balanced composition. I like the contrasts in style between the church with its rounded dome and the vertical lines of the houses. A well lit image with very good colours and sharpness.

Good composition and treatment of light and color. I really like the atmosphere you've made with the texture of the rocks and as light shines on the houses.
A very nice photo to see. Thanks for sharing.

Bonjour Georgios,

J'aime beaucoup ce cadrage qui donne la relation entre les maisons et la montagne qui les domine. La petite chapelle est bien plac閑 dans l'image et les couleurs sont joliment satur閑s.

Bon dimanche

Serge

Nicely showing the small town afoot of the big cliff behind, Georgios.
Light and clarity superbly rendered, color of the rocks in great contrast to white and blue (sky).
Kalimera and a nice Sunday,
Ike

Γεια σου αγαπητέ Γιώργο,
καιρό έχουμε να τα ''πούμε'' αλλά και να δω φωτογραφία σου,
βέβαια κι εγώ τον τελευταίο χρόνο τα είχα λίγο παρατήσει...
η συγκεκριμένη φωτό από την Μονεμβασιά είναι πραγματικά υπέροχη με τον ναό στο προσκήνιο και τα όμορφα σπιτάκια στο βάθος κι όλα αυτά κάτω από τον επιβλητικό βράχο,όμορφη λήψη με πολύ καλό καδράρισμα,
σε χαιρετώ,
Δημήτρης.

Hi Georgios
Three areas of interest merged together making this shot look so pleasant and the play of warm light, shadows and colours have greatly emphasised the attractiveness with the imposing chapel being a strong pointer. A finely composed and exposed, fantastic detail and the light is gorgeous. Well done, tfs
Best regards
