Plateau of the Muses, a surprising, rolling grassland!

Bonjour Athan,
Ce premier plan fleuri est une excellente id嶪. J'aime la bonne profondeur de champ qui donne tant d'importance aux fleurs. Bel hommage au Mont Olympe, la demeure des Dieux !
Amicalement

Hello Athanasios
Even though the light is not great, the perspective you've created & the colours of the flowers are wonderful! The violet flowers punctuate the dominant yellow flowers. Beautiful indeed!

Hi Athanasios,
Beautiful landscape. I like the low angle with the colorefull flours at the front ground. Although the mountain was covered with the fog and white clouds, you had a right expose capturing the details.

Hi Athanasios!

Very beautiful capture...

Mount Olympus and its wonderful carpet, a mythic place deserving a very beautiful view, good composition and good point of view choosen, and a great play of colours...

Very good!

Have a nice day...

This picture has all the elements of a nice image and is captured well. I like the mountain and the fog in the distance and the bright colors of the flowers in the foreground.

Good morning Athanasios,
thank You for comments on my photography.
Beautiful scene full of fresh colors, nice perspective and mountain in slight clouds. Like very much the combined blue, yellow and green colors.
Nice take!
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Athanasios,
Nice shot, despite the not so great weather and light, you managed to get really rich colors out of this shot. Yellow and gold are really good comlementary color. The vertical format provide lot of depth to the landscape and the background peak reaching into the clouds finish the composition nicely. Sharpness is a tiny bit soft and contrast is on the strong side, but overall very nice shot.

Γεια σου Αθανάσιε,
Πανέμορφη Ελληνική φύση εξαιρετικά αποτυπωμένη από το φακό σου, ωραία ατμόσφαιρα με υπέροχα χρώματα από μια πολύ καλά διαλεγμένη γωνιά λήψης.
Καλό σου βράδυ, Βασίλης.

Hello Athanasios

an impressive depth of field, an eerie atmosphere thanks to the mist, a delicate composition.

Have a nice day

Muses have special place of privilege in Greek mythology. It is really nice to have a look of Prophet Elias'abode.Varied flora in foreground on slopes and the summit beset with clouds creat dramatic effect. Good exosure indeed.

Great, we have been awfully nice. A favorite of the type of photography. Certainly it would be at home as a poster on my wall ...

Hello Athanasios,

The POV is very nice. The huge foreground and its colors (the flowers) contrasts with the foggy background. The vertical format is a good choice.
