single photos Mykonos

Aaaaaah, we're being swept away!

Sorry, I couldn't resist -- there's a *really* strong tilt to this photo that, looking at some of the verticals, leads me to believe that it's probably a mixture of *actual* lean and camera tilt. The net result is really disturbing to me and made me feel like the buildings on the right side of the image were about to slide into the sea on the left side. Thus my rather silly opening line.

I don't honestly know quite how to 'fix' this image -- I think that if the foreground were on the level it would be less disturbing than having the background be off-level. Actually, looking a little more closely at the photo, I suspect that the real issue is the dark line of wall behind the wave and in front of the background eating area. My brain wants to see that as flat (because the line of water along the bottom should be roughly horizontal and the top should be roughly parallel to that) and it clearly isn't. Alternately, if you were to crop out some of the visual queues that tell me something isn't flat then that would help as well.

And finally, have you considered adjusting the contrast slightly? The highlights are a little flat and the shadows could use a touch more contrast too I feel. Personal preference only.

Regardless, it's quite a dramatic shot that seems to only need a bit of tidying up to make it come together very nicely.
