Photographer's Note
The lovely town Parga with its 2500 inhabitants is situated on the north west coast of Greece, in an idyllic bay on the foot of the Epirus Mountains. It is one of the most beautiful towns in Greece. In spring a lot of wild flowers bloom and the landscape stays all summer long nice and green. Behind the coast with lots of bays and long sandy beaches are olive groves and pine woods. High above Parga are the ruins of a venetian castle situated, from up there you have a gorgeous view over the coast with its numerous islands and bays for bathing, swimming and relaxing.
The most known island is the "Panagia-Island" the "Virgin Mary-Island" which is just outside the harbour, to its honour every year on the 15th of August Parga celebrates a big town festival with music and huge fire works.
This picture has been taken from the castle.

Ciao Kamila
non avevo mai visto questo luogo, fantastico il tuo pov, si riesce ad apprezzare a pieno il paesaggio con le due curiose e originali isole.
Bella inquadratura e bella composizione, una bella condivisione.
Buona giornata

A very impressive landscape scene! The red roof adds a good colour accent in the picture.

That is the place where I grew up, at a time when there were no tourists at all there... my mother was offered the whole beach front lands in Valtos for 100$, and unfortunately, she did not buy it!
We lived there from 1959 until 1973.... so i know every stone there!
I would maybe have framed a bit more to the right, to get the entire island...? Also 1/40 and f22 sounds quite slow shutter speed, but you did not shake and sharpness is ok!

Hello Kamila,
A great sense of depth created by the trees in the f/g and the boat leading us across the frame.
It is a lovely composition of this very beautiful location, sharply captured under a great light.
Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hello Kamila,
You have shown us such fine photos from this area, and written so enthusiastically about it, that it has entered my list of possible "places to see". This photo is just as good as the earlier ones, with intense but natural colours, a splendid view and a carefully balanced composition with cleverly included treetops at the bottom.
Kind regards,
Gert

The fabulous earth formation superbly shown on photo, Kamila, taken from a high hill overlooking the bay entrance.
A well lit and saturated image, summer's end still with much green trees, and the mountain on far side looks as cut on water's-edge.
Beautiful location, well collected scenery.

Hello Kamila,
This is a fine photo! The inclusion of the trees in the foreground gives the photo a nice sense of depth. The boats add direction and interest in the scene. The red roofed building provides a nice central point of interest.
Thanks for sharing,

Hello Kamila,
Great viewpoint showing the scenic beauty of the landscape. The coastline reminds me a little of the Corfu coast with the forested hillsides and the little church by the sea. The image is well balanced and composed making it very pleasing to the eye. Nice depth created by the BG mountains and beautiful shades of blue in the sea. Very good work.
Kind regards,
Christian

Hi Kamila
well, Castle views are often the best because they want the higher ground to see far away...this photo proves that exactly.
seems like you encountered some harsh light on the right. But in all honesty its not that bad because the rest of the scene is beautiful and captures our attention away from that harsh light. It's hardly noticeable.
lovely colors in the water too. nice shot once again.
cheers

Hi Kamila
It is a spectacular panorama with lovely sweeping view of the bay, taken from an impressive elevated point with the eye popping red amongst the deep blue and green serves as effective point of focus bundled with lot more interest around. Colours, clarity and exposure are nicely rendered to your best while we get the feel of immense depth and space. A breath taking image so expertly taken, Congrats, TFS.
My only is the sky colour on the right needs correction to appear more representative.
Best regards

Hello Kamila,
the high view point has served you very well allowing you to compose a very attractive scene with the boats in the bay and the centrally situated white building making nice contributions.
A fine interpretation of the location and it`s environment.

Looks similar to the seaside around Fethiye in Turkey. Good layering with excellent sharpness and superb color and saturation. Nice warm cold color contrasts between the yellow green and the blue sea and sky. The boats add depth and focal points. Tfs!

Hello Kamila,
back to Greece with a very attractive landscape from Parga. You used a very effective, elevated vantage point and created an elegant composition that fills the frame and offers great depth. I like very much the layout of the land and the vegetation, the islands seem to be "resting" on the sea so calmly. The colours are very delightful, I think that the light has given to the right side tonalities similar to those of the sea and this homogeneity works in a pleasant way. I also like the reflections. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

H Kamila,
Well, it's easy to see why someone would want to build a castle in this spot...wow, what a view! :) You sure know how to compose a picture, this is well balanced and has interesting details in every section of the frame. The transition of colors in the sky and water is pure delight, the entire vista almost seems surreal. And how great must it be to have that place between the two little islands, looks like a paradise indeed. Hard to compete with this kind of setting, thanks for helping me to escape the desert for a short while. :) Have a great day ahead. All the best.
Friendly wishes,
Jason

That beautiful place! ....... That you have captured with exquisite composition, with small islets in the foreground and behind high coastline ideal that house, which is between the two promontories that wonderful blue Aegean, an image to recreate and to dream.
Very good brightness and sharpness, with beautiful colors.
Well seen and done better. I like it

Hola Kamila
Good descriptive note to learn about this landscape and the festivity
From this high point of view you obtained a panoramic well cadres by some branches
What I enjoy the more are the different shades of blue at the front and also at the far back just till the bluish mountains
The moving boat add movement
Very good capture of a place you love, it seems

Hi Kamila,
very nice and calmly the place with the beauty to be unique.Without to read the title as the note too,i thought that was a Chineese place because of your portfolio about China,and i was ready to write you about it,that looks like as a Greek place.
But reading the title i have recognised that was my beloved Parga.I will visit Preveza Aug 2-9 and of course i will visit Parga as other beautiful areas of the region.

Kamilutka, I believe that when God was thinking of paradise he created Greece!!! Parga is one of the places in Greece with very spectacular seascapes and scenery, the water there is light green with shades of blue and the vegetation is that of a very deep green color that creates a fantastic contrast..talking about picturesque? your picture is got it all!!!

Hi Kamila,
I like the way that you use the small islands to frame the bigger island. The distance between the islands and the mountains in the background is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and the colors of the islands. Hav a nice day.
