:collecting apples:, a photo from Magnisia, Thessaly

Photographer's Note

Zagora (mountainous village 47km from Volos)is Greece's largest producer of apples, which are harvested mid-September to mid-October when the village is particularly busy.
At the beginning of September, the female corporation of Zagora organises the festival of the "Apple", which concludes with dance and food.

Hello Georgia! This looks like a very good harvest, the baskets are full and ready to eat, this has to be celebrated. I really like your idea and how you framed the photo. A colorful and healthy :) way to begin the weekend ... I especially like apple juce ... Barbara.

Hello Georgia,

Well done to have noticed this subject of photo and for the realization of it. It is colorful and well using the pattern drawn by the boxes.

HI Georgia

Beautiful and quite seamless pattern. Love the concept of your composition. Colors came out too good. Very good POV. And above all the framing and the picture really complementing each other.

Regards,

Lopshang.

Kalimera Georgia,
well seen and done, I like those "artificial" views of something from daily life. Apples alone would have enough colour but you change that main tone to blue witzh the boxes. Good tight framing.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Georgia.

Great shot. I am so happy I saw your very nice gallery! As I can see we will have so many nice conversations in the future. This photo has everything it needs, eyecatching, abstract and thanks to that storytelling conotation. Great work!

TFS!

Sincerely,

Hi Georgia,
fantastic colorful composition here. Good idea : we can make a good POV with something neutral as plastic crates.

Geia sou Georgia,
Excellent idea and beautiful composition. Your frame is really well done. Congratulations,
Katerina

cherryripe (21033) 2008-10-31 14:11

Hi Georgia
Excellent idea to create a graphic image from these colourful crates. The colour pattern is nicely balanced and the sharpness is excellent. In my opinion the soft frame doesn't really fit the type of image you've taken.
Regards
Nikki

Γεια σου Γεωργία, καταπληκτική πραγματικά με απίθανα χρώματα που προκαλούν το μάτι και σύνθεση μοναδική. Εξαιρετική η ματιά σου! Σε χαιρετώ,
Κώστας.

Kalispera Georgia,
What a delightful and graphic way to show us Zagora - the crated famous (and delicious) apples. I captured some of these crates on the move a few year ago here. Beautiful work! Have a nice Sunday,
Bert

smarcell (19965) 2008-11-03 2:57

So simple and nice !
I like these compositiobns which turn normal subjects into beautiful colored abstract compositions, where colors and shapes are the important thing, much more than the subject itself.
Regards Stefano

Hi Georgia,
What a great idea and nice result!. Lovely colors combination. Very eye catching.

I love the artwork you have created out of this mundane everyday thing. The way you have compsoed and nuanced this shot is superb. Lovely work indeed.

Hello Georgia:
A-ha,who had never seen a lot of plastic box?
But, it is rarely creative photo for so common box.
Best regards,
Nelson

obi (10) 2008-11-06 7:36

Hi Geargia,
once i had the same idea of shooting a bunch of boxes in the warehouse of the company i work for...unfortunatelly i dind't take that chance.

Good that you did it and shared with us this wonderful pic.

PixelTerror (0) 2008-11-10 3:26

Hi Georgia
Graphical images are always eye catching from the vignette already, so there's small wonder this one has got so much success, to the graphism it adds good diversity of unevenly distributed colors which break the geometric pattern and that works optically very well.
Have a nice day JY

Γεια σου Γεωργία
Απλο, πολύ όμορφο και έξυπνο θα έλεγα το πλάνο σου, το οποίο εκτός από την εξήγηση που υπάρχει στο σημείωμά σου βάζει τον θεατή (ιδίως αν εμπορεύεται αντικείμενα με τα τελάρα αυτού του είδους) σε πολλές σκέψεις σχετικά με τους αγρότες και τις γεωργικές καλλιέργειες γενικότερα. Χαρακτηριστικά θα έλεγα πως αυτή είναι μια πολύ όμορφη θέα για έναν παραγωγό που έχει την συγκομιδή του στη φάση να είναι σε τελάρα και έτοιμη προς πώληση.

Τεχνικά μου αρέσει το σημείο λήψης με το οποίο έχεις μηδενίσει τις παραμορφώσεις.
Χαιρετώ

Excellent !
