This is small church under castro on Sifnos Island!

Hi Elzbieta,
Very impressive this dark blue sea, with this beautiful church like sailing out into far away sea, as you said.
Excellent point of view and composition.
Congratulations!

Good POV and colours. I like the the woman sitting on the wall, adds perspective.

A great high POV and a nice view down at this wonderfully situated chapel.The white architecture contrasts very well with the nice deep blue tones of the sea.

Bardzo fajnie skomponowany kadr, podoba mi sie jak shodki prowadzą widza do kościółka...i ta postac siedząca na murku...a wszystko kilkanaście metrów nad pozimem pięknego ciemnego morza.
Pozdrawiam,

Bonjour Elzbieta
le fait de dominer la scène est très agréable à l'oeil. La compo est équilibré au niveau du cadrage et les couleurs de cette église ressortent très bien. Bonne exposition.

Hi Elz. Very nice shot. Liked in totality. The blue dome on white -- the dark colour of water with foamy ripples -- and the quietness of the entire place -- perhaps enjoyed by the lone woman sitting out there seems to be a total package of solitude. Regards.

Fascynuj±ce s± w tej serii b³êkity i granaty ³±czone z biel±, rzadziej z innymi kolorami w znaczniejszych proporcjach. Patrzê równocze¶nie na prace innego fotografika z tego samego regionu i dostrzegam ich wielkie podobieñstwo do Twoich zdjêæ dziêki kolorom. ¦wietne ujêcie, bardzo dobra kompozycja i taka¿ jako¶æ tego zdjêcia.

Hi Elzbieta! I like the PoV here - it enables us to enjoy the beautiful and elementary architecture of this church against the backdground of the wild sea. The colour rcontrast is great and the composition very well considered. A very nice job!
Have a fine week,
Bert

robob (3648) 2007-11-27 8:20

Hello Elzbieta,
J’aime beaucoup l’architecture et les couleurs de ces petites églises,
La présence humaine est un plus dans ta composition,
Excellent point de vue !
Bien à toi et à bientôt,
Robert

trekks (14348) 2007-11-27 16:03

Hi Elzbieta

Bonjour Elzbieta,
J'aime cet vue plongeante vers le bleu de la mer, et puis cette petite église qui se jte a notre regard.

Hello Elzbieta,
A good composition of this beautiful little church. I like the downwards point of view and the sight of the sea down below the cliff. The person sat on the edge of the wall adds to the ambiance of the scene. Good colours and clarity.

asajernigan (21427) 2007-11-28 3:33

Elzbieta,
Your composition is great placing the white church against the dark blue background of the sea. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. Your POV is great looking down upon the chapel.
TFS,
Asa

jusninasirun (17529) 2007-11-28 3:35

Hello Elzbieta ,
I went through your superb collection and simplicity seemed to be your strength. This is another clever composition of a minimalist with maximum impact. Have to love the clean contrasting shot and very well done to you.
Best regards,
Jusni

Clementi (52514) 2007-11-28 5:32

Ciao Elzbieta ,
what a fantastic withe and blue little church ,
the sea are drammatic in this color.
good job

pboehringer (770) 2007-11-28 7:35

Elzbieta,
a wonderful composition with the tight frame around the isolated little chapel surrounded by the sea. Lovely detail of that person sitting there and looking out for some sailing boat that we can't see. The dark blue, almost to dark, gives the impression of underexposure and is probably the result of that white chapel that made your camera meter the light in that way. I like it anyway!
Regards, Peter

Witaj El¿bieto
wspania³y widok,super kolorystyka,cikawie wygl±da ten ko¶ció³ek na tle granatowego morza,i ta odrobina fal dodaje smaczku

hello Elzbietathe white foam on the water
your high POV is superb,and I like very much the great contrast between the dark blue of the see and the white church!I also like the white foam in the water ,it gives a nice harmony!Very well done and magnificent!
Have a nice evening.
Pascale

Philippe (11836) 2007-11-28 12:01

Hi, Elzbieta. You've chosen a very good POV which overlooks the chapel and gives us the impression it is floating on the sea as you say in your note. The contrast between the white walls and the water works perfectly well and the person sitting on the wall scales the picture.

tedesse (25147) 2007-11-30 7:24

HI Elzbieta,
The dominant darkness, from which the small church emerges by spectacular contrast, is to me what makes its appeal, superb highlights !
Have a nice day JY

ninaL (21348) 2007-12-01 12:23

Witaj, Elu.
Doskonala kompozycja z wysokim punktem widzenia. Najbardziej podob mi sie tutaj granatowe morze : z miniaturki wyglada jak bardzo ciemne niebo.
Pozdrawiam. Grazyna.

evanrizo (462) 2007-12-02 3:37

Wooooooooooh I know this chapel from summer 1980, it is on great point and very very windy.
The lightness and contrast are ideal.
Cheers

Hi Elzbieta,
the bright white church in the dark sea on the rock is attracting the eye. Very fine texture of the walls and rocks in good sharpness.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

riclopes (35577) 2007-12-02 11:19

Olá Elzbieta, wonderful place, superb POV, funny title. A dreamy image of a lovely church. It seems that there is only one passenger to go into the adventurous sea... ;-)

Mocne kolory i ciekawy POV. Imponujące.

Hi Elzbieta!
Greta shot of this beautiful church. The pov is perfect showing all the space around it - it's very well situated, surrounded by the sea. The colours are very good.Isn't it a woman sitting on the wall?
I see it's already included in my theme :)

pcp (3396) 2007-12-03 19:03

Hi Luka,

Ohhh.... when i was a kid my grand mom used to say stories and the story like this.

There was a king and queen,
One day, Queen kidnapped by demons,
Queen was kept aside of 7 seas, 7 deserts, 6 mountains.. 7th mountain top in a blue tomb,
King will travel to retain his queen.

you remembered me this shot and looks exactly the same :)

Hi Elzieta excellrnt shot! The church as dream, the part amazing and your picture given with summer disposal in blue and the white Aegean gives one separate note, I congratulate
Tfs/Regards
Georgios

jemaflor (146274) 2007-12-04 9:26

Hi Elzbieta,
Good pov on this small church and the sea in the background, nice composition, just a detail, the blue of the sea seems a little too much dark ...

doubay (674) 2007-12-05 7:29

Hi Elzbieta!
Well executed, classical Greek postcard shot.
Being on Sifnos in October must be very nice, I guess. It’s still warm, there are only few tourists, you have the beaches for your own, rooms are cheap and the locals are friendlier than during summer time.
Regards
Andreas

Hello Elzbieta,
A typical landscape of Greece, very good framing of this little white chapel with the blue sea in the background, nice work.
Regards

gervaso (28177) 2007-12-06 14:46

Elzbieta,

wonderful picture! This little church is beautiful, and the texture of its walls is great, with good illumination! Well done!

Didi (61589) 2007-12-07 10:04

Hi Elzbieta
Very good point of view and you managed well the exposure because the dark sea could gives an over exposure on the white church.
Well done.
Cheers.

plimrn (21344) 2007-12-07 18:56

Hi Elzbieta,
Great framing with the tiangles of land and sea; the tiny church stands out well against the turquoise sea. Greece is such a seafaing place and these little churches very much a part of the seaman's life.
HLJ, Pat

flory (4848) 2007-12-07 21:51

hi dear Elzbieta,
white against by this deep blue of the sea looks nice!and well managed the light..
thanks and nice weekend!

delic (6735) 2007-12-08 5:28

Hello Elzbieta,
The priest of that church is extremely lucky. He is on top of the world. Excellent composition. The picture is underexposed but that's not necessarily bad as the highlights are rendered with fine detail. Well done. Regards,
Hakan

jafadabret (56501) 2007-12-13 0:05

Elzbieta bonjour.
Cette photo est une merveille autant pour la beauté de l'architecture que pour la composition et les couleurs. Les bleus de la coupole et de la mer sont superbes.
Jacques

jrj (34843) 2007-12-13 3:32

The deep blue sea makes a perfect contrast to the white chapel out there E. I like the bird view in this setting combined with the offcentered placement of the main subject.

aloyho (6798) 2007-12-14 22:12

Hi Elzbieta,
This is an interesting church, especially for its architecture and location. There is good division of space and the white surfs remind us of the the water and the wide open space. I like this feeling of solitude and peace especially for a place of worship. Well done!!

Regards and a great holiday ahead.

Edyta_B (8) 2007-12-15 6:29

Witaj Elu
Piêkne kontrasty miêdzy czy¶ciutk± biel± a g³êbokim niebieskim i to mi siê najbardziej tutaj podoba ;). Poza tym ciekawe miejsce i fajne ujêcie zrobione z góry.

parbo (11092) 2007-12-22 17:50

Hello Elzbieta,

You excellently choose a great point of bird view. The wonderful blue of dome and Aegean is completes each other.

Your model helps to scale it your frame excellently.

I wish Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

Regards,

Ertugrul

banyanman (7797) 2008-02-09 22:02

A difficult exposure with so much contrast in the light, Elzbieta, but you've handled it well. Perfectly composed too from an excellent POV (I suppose you could have also composed this with the church in the top left, showing more of the rocky headland on which it stands - both would work well I think). Cheers . . . David
