Description

-I keep tellin' all ya shore huggers that the real high tide is coming any day now.

-We'll see who is well prepared then, no more talk about the crazy man on the roof eh?

You get the picture I'm sure. For some reason many people in Fira (sort of capital on Santorini) place boats on the roof of their houses as decoration. Now theese houses are actually located in a city that is located on the top of a mountain cliff

My F828 as allways

Love
Johannes

good job, i do think you caught to much of the white roof, it cuts the picture right in the middle which doesnt do it to good,.
maybe you can crop some of it, so there is more water then roof.

Thanks for the tip, I like it as it is since I wanted to keep the strong white, the clear shadow and the contrast's, but I do appreciate the suggestion

You keep producing them Johannes!!!
Well done!
I love the contract between the strong white with the likewise strong blue water...
Did you also do this one from different angles?
Would have loved to see the sky as well...

BEAUTIFUL! I like how the photos is divided in two, by two beautiful and contrasting colours! The lighting on the white is fantastic! I see why they decorate their houses with boats, it's very charming and unique:)

really nice shoot... in my opinion near to perfect but two elements ot this picture are not necessary:
1. this rock in R-T corrner
2. distortion
-----------
ad.1
as i can suppose this rock u put in frame intentional but in my opinion destroy unreal and sub syntetic nature of this picture... u know that this roof was really high but we not need this information coz this is mister. of picture and abstract. this picture ... interesting will be story about this picture...
ad.2 silmple story, white line of "horizon" is little bend at right side... i think that really precise horizon line is really important element of this picture - few moves in some gfx program and this defect will be fixed...
-----------
anyhow it's still good one picture !!!

regards !!!

You are right the rock is not needed but the way the shot is composed it would be hard to get rid of it, I guess I should have thought of that when I shot it Anyways, excellent and constructive feedback, much appreciated, I'll have another go at it

Ok, removed the dist problem from the upper right corner, for reference I have linked the original shot with the dist problem

The colors and contrast are great, the contradiction interesting.

How I picture it in my head i think that more white would be nice.. the opposite of what I just read over some place.. the contrast between the very white and mid-dark blue is confusing.. ;P to my norwegian eyes.

the title.. haha nice ;)

This looks more like a rendering than a photo. Amazing work Johannes. I enjoy the clean straight lines and vivid colors.

Great job!

Excellent use of contrasts here! the mottled and battered texture of the boat really stands out in this image here. I'm also glad that you found your trip to Greece productive enough, I myself haven't had anything to show other than 4 measly photos.

There is nothing that I do not like in this photo. It's brilliant... look at the color of that water. My goodness! It's beautiful.
