Sidonie from Sydney, Australia
Great position from which to take a photo - the framing is excellent, and the colour is true to the season - high summer in the Med - lovely capture, Ele!

@Sidonie: thank you!

Very nice shot! Have you tried to experiment with the programs on your camera? I find that on days with a lot of harsh light like this one the "beach" program brings better colors, and sometimes the "snow" setting is even better.

Don Smith from California, United States
Beautiful image Eleftheria. Great use of the the rule-of-thirds in the placement of the boat as a foreground element and allowing a place for the eye to rest - a visual anchor - which is important in images. The various tones of blue allow the eye to be drawn up and through the image. You've minimized the sky which is also advisable when they are blank-blue (always a challenge in the summer months). However in this image, the blue sky serves as a subtle offset of the blues in each of the two lakes. Well done!

@Don Smith: Thank you VERY VERY MUCH! xx
