Hello Costantino,
A great photo and a nice view across the water towards the very white houses, which make a real eye-catcher. The boats are well included in the foreground as well.

Hi Constantino
We bypassed Mykonos for quieter islands on our one visit to Greece (2nd coming up next year) but you have presented it well here with its classic Cyclades white and blue plus old styled fishing boats. A good photo.
cheers
Ian

Salut Costantino,
Une belle composition au sujet de cette île dont je garde un bon souvenir de voyage. Bien composée cette vue avec ces bateaux en premier plan, belle luminosité.

Bonjour, cher Costantino,
Ces constructions blanches sous le soleil font penser à des morceaux de sucre.
L'image est belle à travers cette composition où les bateaux de pêche amarrés attendent la prochaine sortie en mer.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Costantino,
There is good balance between the boats near the bottom of the photo and the white buildings near the top. They are nicely separated by grey rocks and blue water in this attractive and well taken photo.
Regards,
Gert

Dear friend, wonderful landscape photo taken in Mykonos. The picture is divided in two layers : the sea and the boats moored in the port, the arid coast and the traditional white houses. Splendid colors, good image quality and excellent light, instructive photo note, regards.

Bonjour Costantino,

Quel bel endroit où passer des vacances au soleil et aussi pour profiter des nuits bien animées. Le petit port est beau et ces bateaux sont typiques de la région. Belles couleurs de méditerrannée.

Amicalement

Serge

Not an entertainment junkie here but history and vibrant places to appeal. The whiteness is striking. It would be interesting to explore the rooms and what lies within those structures. Perhaps condos or an inn. Nice

Geia sou Costantino Our cruise left us for a few days on this lovely touristic island in '90 but I wasn't that much a photographer by then so I missed many photo opportunities, unaware of its exotic icons. I appreciate your picture
that reminds me the greek blue water, the mostly-bald mountain side and of course these clean-looking dwellings spaced out by narrow streets. The boats at foreground add a sense of depth to your setup. Se xereto

Hi Costantino,

The blue boat is an eye-catcher. The point of view is showing the details of the boats and of the white buildings. The light is making the colors to stand out. Have a nice day.

Ciao Costantino, bella vista della deliziosa isola conl grazioso villaggio tutto bianco, piacevole composizione con le barche in primo piano, ottima nitidezza, bei colori mediterranei e splendida luce, bravo ciao Silvio

abmdsudi (95869) 2019-10-15 1:01

Hi Costantino
You have good subject of interest but sincerely this looks so luminous, flat without shade and shadow - the vital ingredients for landscape photography. It's only a decent record shot and there's nothing special about it when you had to take it perhaps - it's essentially a point and click image.

If you have a choice, it would have been better to wait for evening or early morning. Less harsh light will enable you to capture a better image while exposing the shadows too much sometimes " flattens " the image resulting in loss of perspective and detail. This is from a purely photographic point of view.
Best regards

Hi Costantino,
very picturesque view.
I like the boats in the harbour in the foreground which add lovely shapes and colors.
The houses behind are so stylish. May be a bit pity that they became so bright slightly loosing details, but I also always face the problem with white subjects in the sun. I forbid my wife to wear white clothes on holidays for that reason :)
Very well spotted,
M

Ciao Costantino

Mykonos was well worth stopping at for the windmills and little Venice. The white washed houses were a taste of what was to come on Santorini. Good depth and layering here with the fg fishing boats & superb sharpness. Tfs!

Hello Costantino,
I like the predominance of blue and white here. Lovely view! 👍🏻👍🏻
