Photographer's Note
Our Lady of the Rocks Church was built in 1630 on an artificially made island off the shore of Perast in the Bay of Boka Kotorska. According to the legend, the fishermen of Perast found a wonderworking icon of the Virgin with Child on the rock the one which now occupies the main alter of the church. They vowed to build a church on that same place dedicated to the icon of the Virgin, protector of sailors and fishermen.

What an interesting island!! And what an amazing building that has been built on it, all those 376 years ago.
Good composition Vlado, and your notes are good too. TFS

Bok Vlado
Dobro komponirana slika jednog izuzetno fotogeničnog mjesta. Lijepe boje, dobri odraz u mirnoj vodi odie smirenim ugođajem.
Mislim da su zgrade na otočiću malo preeksponirane. Vjerojatno je zbog velikih tamnih povrina voda ekspozicija bila malo preduga za svjetle objekte na otočiću pa su oni pregorjeli i izgubili detalje. To je naročito vidljivo na kupolama koje su na slici gotovo bijele iako je u odrazu vidljovo da su plave.
Taj problem moe rjeiti ako kod snimanja skrati ekspoziciju koju ti daje kamera za 1/2 do 1 blende ili moe donekle popraviti u Photoshopu. Postavio sam workshopo s kojim sam donekle popravio tu preosvjetljenost.
Pozdrav Darko

Very good shot.
The fair church contrasts with the dark water, making the whole view a bit unreal.
If you tried cropping it so that the land is not visible but the reflections on the water remain it would look even more amazing.

Good reflection and well composed shot.
Again I like the space created in your image, very isolated and peaceful.
See what you think of my reflection shots.
Have a good day.

Hi Vlado,
This is definitely a photo that deserves more attention. Just 10 points for such a wonderful image..now the points count..but helpful words will help you..right?
Telling you if you are in the good direction?
I think with this shot (haven't had a look at the rest of your gallery, this one is on the frontpage now) you for sure are!
Majestic shot with sublime light, sharpness and details. I love the reflections on the water, this church on this island..wow..how did it come there. But how lovely is it. Good exposure and composition.
Very well done.
