Photographer's Note
This is the old stone light house at the entrance of the old Venetian Port of Rethimno. Its light is not operational. Doesn't it look like a sword with its reflection?
PS. It was from the left side of the lighthouse on the wall of the promenade, right beside the door from where i took my Another old Venetian Port photo. So now you have an almost 360 degrees view of the port

Hello Hercules,
A very nice image where the golden tones contrast really nicely with the blue. You're right about the sword, the reflex in water is so beautiful.
Kind Regards.

Contrasting colours is why this pic does it for me and the water is so calm that really helps with the reflection....
Very well done.

Voici un beau crépuscule que tu nous propose. J'apprécie le calme de cette eau qui permet un reflet parfait. Les couleurs sont très belles. ça donne envie d'être en face de cette vue pour pouvoir se relaxer.

Excellent blue hour shot! Your exposure is great using both natural and artificial lighting together. The lighting and colors are outstanding with nice sharpness and DOF. The reflection adds nice depth and symmetry to the shot.

A lovely blue hour shot with the contrasts spot on, framing wise a bit tight at the bottom, this refection is superb on the soooooo calm water.

Hi Hercules,
I'm really sorry for the fires and the high death toll in your country. This is a shame. The same thing happens in Turkey very often in summer. I'm almost glad I won't be able to see the earth in 50 years from now. It will probably be an uninhabitable planet by then. Anyway, your photo is as impressive as ever. The smooth surface of the sea and the clear texture of the stones look delicious! Congrats.

Hola Hercules,
preciosa imagen de este faro y el muelle bien iluminados y con unos magníficos reflejos en el agua. Es tu especialidad, y este tipo de tomas las realizas magistralmente. Me gustan las texturas de seda del agua y del reflejo del faro, gracias a una exposición un poco larga.
Los tonos azules del mar y del cielo contrastan con los de la piedra y con las pinceladas doradas de la iluminación.
Bella foto, amigo.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Kalispera Hercules.
Ohhhh... esta semana he estado en Grecia (pero solo 40 minutos). Lo único seguro es que ahora le tengo más ganas.
Pero me pierdo... muy buena la exposición, lo que hace de ésta una muy buena foto nocturna.
Tanto la composición como el reflejo sobre el agua son un auténtico poema (en el sentido positivo de la palabra, claro).
Me gusta mucho.
