Santorini chapel, a photo from Kyklades, South Aegean

Photographer's Note

Have not been out to take pictures for a while so I have been diging to my scanned photos archive. This one was from a trip to Santorini a long time ago. It is a small chapel close to a lonely taverna somewhere on the island. Very typical of Greece people might build small chapels like this one because they promised it to their favorite saint for a prayer that was answered. Many years after they are built someone always volunteers to take care of them.

Cropped, USM, Neatimage and removed some film scratches with the clone tool in PS.

This is Kyklades!
So simple and so great.
Although I would prefer to see the lighted and not the shadowed part of the church the image is very nice.
Well done! Thanks for sharing!

Simple composition and very good one.

Two things:
1. I think that you should take the frame to the left.
2. The light was too bright because of the sun, you should (if you could) take this picture in thearly morning or in the late afternoon, when the light is soft.

I know that very often, it's not the right time to take a photo, but I agree generaly with elroyie. Anyway, this is a typical Kyklades photo and very nice also! :)
