    This is simplicity at its best. That vivid blue of the shutters is captivating. One note to improve the image. I immediately noticed the lower right and upper right color deviance and find it detracts from the beauty of this image. Perhaps a tiny crop?

  • BettinaSchwarz replied

    ... you’re right! ... yes – I’ll do that – just shave off the bits … :) thanks for that :))

  • BettinaSchwarz replied

    ok … fixed it :) ... it really was just a shave but it makes the world of difference :) thanks for that :))

    Fantastic, the blue stands out very well with the white all around nice work…gina

  • BettinaSchwarz replied

    Thanks so much Gina :) I was glad that the sun was sitting just right when I happened past there :) ... the blue and white of Greece is just too special, isn’t it :)

    :) coolest so far!

  • BettinaSchwarz replied

    lol … thanks so much Saikat … don’t think I’ve got anything in this “category” that can beat this … :) ... some more landscapes & seascapes … then for some ancient history, admiring the treasures of the past that the archaeologists are restoring :) ... though I promise I’ll try and limit myself to one or two images per subject, i.e. per place of interest visited …
