Photographer's Note
Photo taken in Heraion of Perachora, very close to Loutraki town, not far from Athens, a place with a very interesting archaeological site, but also a beautiful landscape with the lighthouse opposite to the Northern coast of Peloponnesus.
This kind of flair is produced when pointing the lens towards the sun, almost directly towards it. The "size" depends on the focal length and the aperture.

Γειά σου Ηρακλή,
κάνω μια περιήγηση και πετυχαίνω αυτό το μοναδικό τοπίο που είναι και απο τα αγαπημένα μου θέματα,είπα έχει μέρες να βάλει φωτογραφίες ο Ηρακλής και ετοιμάζει κανένα αριστούργημα...Τίποτα δεν είναι τυχαίο τελικά,ούτε οι απλές σκέψεις...Οσο για το κάδρο σου απλά υπέροχο και μοναδικό-έχεις μια ξεχωριστή μέθοδο να μεγαλουργείς στα πορτοκαλί θέματα..
την καλημέρα μου,
Πέτρος

Hello Hercules,
You are a master when it comes to playing with light, in all its forms!
This is an excellent shot, the timing is perfect. Did this just occur to you when you got to the place and saw the setting sun, or did you plan this? Either way, the effect is stunning. Excellent composition, nice silhouettes and beautifully warm ornage tones.
I suppose the mineral water "Loutraki" comes from this place? I remember seeing signs for it while driving on the national highway; I can see that it is well worth a stop. Next time, hopefully!
Compliments,
Dasha

Hola Hercules,
Maravillosa foto en contraluz del faro.
Bella composición vertical de la imagen, con el círculo de luz, la silueta del faro, las montañas del fondo y el detalle de la bandera.
Un abrazo,

Γεια σου Ηρακλή,
Εξαιρετική σύνθεση εικόνας με πολύ καλή γωνία λήψης, νομίζεις ότι ο ήλιος εκπέμπει από τον φάρο, πολύ καλό το εφέ και οι χρωματικοί τόνοι.
Σε χαιρετώ, Βασίλης.

Your composition is great her showing the sunset to be seen through the lens of the lighthouse. The lighthouse in silhouette adds nice contrast for the red & orange sky.

Dear Hercules,
I have no words. This is an incredible idea.
I really admire you dedication, it was certainly not easy to find this exact spot to get such effect. So the idea is fantastic quality perfect as always, what I also like are the silhouettes, contours included here. The mountains on the horizon, Greek flag and of course the lighthouse. The colors crazy, I like it very much.
The reflections all around they enhance the effect even more.
Excellent work,
TFS

A breathtaking magical shot!! It is a treat to watch the sunlight being used so beautifully. But may I would have experimented with cropping a little of the negative black portion at the bottom. Anyways, thanks for sharing such a magnificient image!
