Hi again, Marios
This note, also stolen from Wikipedia, is problematic too. Please come up with something else in the coming days or your picture will be deactivated.
Thank you in advance,
Dominique

Hi Marios,
I am part of the moderation team and your incredibly long note accompanying this photo is problematic. Indeed, it fully comes (uncredited) from Wikipedia... and that's it!
On this point, TE's Terms of Service are clear: It is not permitted to copy and paste sections of text off from other sites. If you wish to refer to information on other sites you must provide a link to that site instead.
I'm sure you have many things to tell about what you saw and felt there. So I suggest you to write a text more consistent with the objectives of TE in the coming days, otherwise your picture will be deleted.
Thank you in advance,
Dominique

Wishing upon a star...
Even if I'm definitely not made of wood, your photo invites me to run to the nearest bookstore and read Pinocchio for the first time. Or should I watch once more every episode from the original Star Trek series? ;-)
This is really a stupendous vista, Konstantinos! The sky should be like that over Paris, from time to time...
By the way, I'm not very fond of your signature like that, riveting my eyes, but this is a very minor inconvenience.
Welcome on TE... and more to come, I hope!
Cheers,
Dominique

Hi Boris,
This is one among many incarnations of fallen dreams, I guess.
Your picture reveals some kind of archeological interest, retelling (still vivid or nearly forgotten?) memories from a recent past for an uncertain present...
To enhance its impact, I think minor adjustments could be appropriate. So I made a workshop. I hope you'll like it.

Hi,
it's quite difficult for me to judge a photo like this one, while not knowing the place.
Neverthless, I feel it could have been more interesting had you chosen a wider point of view. Either by taking advantage of the trunk and branches of the tree to fully structure the left and top sides of your picture or, with a landscape format, by framing a larger part of the building on the right and showing how the sculpture integrates itself - or not - with its surroundings...
I always keep in mind the motto of a famous Finnish architect, Eliel Saarinen: Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context - a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan. It often works wonderfully well when photographing transplanted art pieces here and there.
Give it a try, one time or another... ;-)
Dominique

PS
I would also have prefered to read your own feelings and appreciations about the sculptor and his work, instead of a basic introduction lifted from Wikipedia. Beter luck next time, probably...

Bonjour Eric,
au-delΰ de toute considιration sur le dιsensablement du Mont et le libre retour des marιes, j'aime bien la faηon qu'a cette mince frange de mer, que l'on distingue ΰ peine, de structurer ta photo, entre nuages et herbes mκlιes de bruyθres, agitιes par le vent.
Toutefois, je m'interroge sur la masse blanche qui envahit une partie du ciel et occulte la subtilitι des nuances de couleurs... d'autant que cette surexposition encombrante n'apparaξt pas sur la version que tu as mise en ligne sur ton site.
Mκme si je reste plutτt dubitatif face aux excθs du HDR, oω l'accumulation des reliefs apportιs aux plus infimes dιtails parasite la vision claire d'une photo, j'ai l'impression qu'ici tout est trop lissι et affadi.
Choix de traitement, problθme de compression ?
Voilΰ, juste en passant...
Dominique

Hi Marie-Paule,
I must confess that I don't know much about birds, except probably when it comes to braised pigeon with peas, small carrots and cider (the memory of it, at least, for I fear I haven't cooked or even tasted this particular dish for more than 25 years)...
Nevertheless, I do remember distinctly the last time I really paid attention to another gull, a black-headed specimen in fact, but without any sailing boat or flying plane nearby. ;-)
Back to your seagull, Marie Paule. I liked the way the wing feathers shone in the sunlight, contrasting with the overcast sky. But I also felt your photo could be slightly improved, so I made a workshop... something else I hadn't done for quite some time now.
I hope you'll like it.
Take care,
Dominique

Very nice impression from the festival, Takero. Good detail not only on the artistic print of the uniform, but also the surface texture of the cloth is quite well rendered. The strong tele-lens also gave you a fine DOF to offset the guy in the background. Well seen.

Hi Pierre. A nice sweeping view across the vineyards, showing the pleasant and scenic location of this village. The vivid seasonal colors and details are well accentuated by the good lighting that you had when taking this photo. Good notes, too.

こんにちは Hisashi. A fine deep perspective along this lineup of jizo statues, well contrasted and vividly colorful. A beautiful introduction to this piece of Japanese culture, well captured.

And, finally, a humble "thank you" for putting a link to my photo :)

As a workshop, and as a present for you, I will post a photo that I took two months ago of these jizo statues at the same location. Sorry for the small size, I don't have a bigger one available at the moment.

Indeed a calming and soothing view here, Philippe. The reflections amplify the impact of this peaceful view with the old roofs making an appearance amidst the vivid greenery.
