To Bela, who likes stones.

Thank you for viewing and commenting.

love it! great colour composition and great light!!! respect and congrats, yours kerstin :)

Very nice picture. Best regards Antino

Fantastic work! Regards.

color balance is surreal - the sky has a backdrop appearance that takes the beach to an entirely different place. Amazing capture Dimitris!

Very nice and sensetive work!! Xronia Polla!/ Janis Lukas

Love the warm and cold colors !

Very nice composition,great colors!

Very nice picture. A bit oversaturated, I think that if the sea was less saturated it would be a 7. Great shot anyway 6/6.

Surreal and beautiful. Well done!

Thank you very much for your very nice comments. And this is how the "AS SHOT" looks. Do you think the picture that I posted is over saturated?

In my opinion, No - the saturation and color balance make the shot. If you wanted to achieve this in a print - Ciba or Dye Transfer would be my choice. Great image Dimitris.

The original lacks contrast and colour and shoudn't have been posted for comparison because what we need here, is a well worked image ,and not a straight out-of-the-camera capture.

Best regards.

Great colours and perfect edition Dimitris. Regards.

In a way you are wright. But remember, the before and after saga....

I think too that the color manipulation, as far as the rock is concerned, is very good. It brings out some highlighted areas on the rock and the ground, like being spotlighted in a way. But I would not over saturated (at least to that point), the surface of the sea and the horizon. Especially the sea looks a bit "fake" now to my eyes and does not justify the beauty of the rock. Of course, and as always, this is my humble opinion. Take care my friend!

Exellent composition and colors. Great job.

Pamayioti, thank you very much for your very constructive comment, however the sea that looks unreal, as you said, adds to the a rather surreal appearance of the image. The sea in the original was rather dark and I lightened it by increasing the contrast through dodging ang burning. Since I used a fill in flash the lighting would have been rather unbalanced. Too light in the foreground and too dark in the background. Best regards and thanks again.

A beautiful composition with very nice lighting and colours, Dimitris!

not too much blach-blach - is a statue made by nature (or you ? )- an excellent image !!

By erosion, Marco.

Excellent presentation of nature's sculpture ! Like a human looking away, thinking of past events, burned by the sun. Or just a form, as it is ! I LOVE IT !!!!!!!1

Surprising image and wise post treatment. Ciao, Alx

The saturation works here to give a stiking eye boggling effect, complimented by the warm light.
