Photographer's Note
You might have already seen, one or two of my photos from that same "photo session", that sunset on the beach close to Pantokratoras castle. There was a trully majestic and somehow threatening invasion of clouds, that evening! At some point, I thought that the oncoming storm aquired a "face", I thought I saw its "evil eyes" turning red. It was about time for the fishermen to collect their nets!
*** I used a 2X extender on my 70-200 lens, that's why the focal length is 400 mm.

Hello Hercules,
Very nicely done, great silhouettes, wonderful light. The cloud "eyes" sure add a sense of urgency to this otherwise idylic scene. Greetings, Dasha

hi,
I like a lot the colors, and your idea to tell us that the sky is with 2 eyes is true :) Great POV
I like your composition. TFS

Γεια σου Ηρακλή
Ωραίο θέμα από την δυτική ακτή, με εντυπωσιακά χρυσοκόκκινα χρώματα.
Ο ουρανός έχει επίσης ενδιαφέρον αν και θα προτιμούσα λιγότερο ουρανό και περισσότερη θάλασσα. Ωραία δουλειά, πολλούς χαιρετισμούς Σπύρος

Καλημέρα Ηρακλή!
Κακό μάτι? κακή ψαριά λένε οι ειδικοί! Πονηρά μάτια από ψηλά,,,, θα έλεγα, κοιτάζουν την θαυμάσια θάλασσα με το χρυσό πέπλο της και τις σιλουέτες σαν αερικά! τους ψαράδες που νετάρους τα δίχτυα! μία εμπνευσμένη σκηνή και κάδρο που σε απογειώνει!!ευχαριστώ
Χαιρετισμούς

Hola Hercules,
los 400mm de focal no han mermado para nada la calidad de la imagen, y eso se nota cuando las lentes son buenas.
Impresionante escena en la puesta de sol, con las bonitas siluetas negras de los pescadores y sus barcas sobre un mar de oro líquido y un cielo que parece arder.
Los colores y la luz de esta foto la hacen muy grande, bellísima.
Excelente trabajo, amigo mío.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Kalispera Hercules.
La palabra es: impresionante.
Sin más.
Además me gusta la explicación del multiplicador x2 y me encanta también la luz que tiñe todo con un color muy especial.
Ta leme, file mou (como podrás ver, vuelto ya de mi primera parte de mis vacaciones).

Salut Hercules,
Je reviens de quelques jours de vacances et je trouve dette merveilleux coucher de soleil. Les couleurs sont sensationnelles entre le or et le rouge. J'aime beaucoup les silhouettes en avant-plan, elles sont tout simplement superbes. Beau travail.
Tous mes compliments,
Amicalement,
Emilius
