Comment by tnun:
This is about textures and chiaroscuro; also like Goya in the emphasis on darkness and dramatic sky and suggestive of a time or turning point in history. It takes some looking at. The dark and blurred framing has strong echoes in the major leading lines - the bottom of the stone wall and the descending roofline, but they all lead to a section of coastline that seems unconnected to the rest in terms of subject matter and texture. I'm not sure I would feel this disconnection if the framing had not laid such a strong emphasis on the bottom leading line. It is an impressive photo nonetheless.

There is an odd reflection in the right eye. I do like the effect of full face though.

Comment by Ristyz:
nice crop and lovely conversion. the DOF could be a wee bit less shallow to keep that nose in sharp focus too.

Great looking picture, i love the sharpness and reflection in the right eye and the extremely shallow DOF

I would like to see the nose a bit more in focus. Great reflection in the eyes.

Excellent shot Nikos. I didnt realize Aigio has an area like this. The clouds look great and i like the light post that is sticking out. I wrote on anther photo of yours that it is Aggelopoulos-esque and this continues in that tradition. Great!

Nice capture. Very Aggelopoulos-esque.

I like the contrast the way it is as it gives a faded, dreamy aura to the photo
