It's nice and warm in Greece... We spent most of our time at the beach. (this is my beach [link] )

TruthInLiteratureArt In reply to Kevrekidis [2011-06-15 05:31:56 +0000 UTC]

Nice! Beautiful shot too!

Our beaches are surf beaches in the main. I am hoping to put some pics on soon. But there is one here on my gallery, called Hill 60, though many call the beach 'Fisho's beach' because rather than a surf beach it is more a good beach to fish at. We like it because unlike most beaches, you can take your dog there and let them enjoy a day at the beach too!

Ignite-The-Spark [2011-06-13 15:33:37 +0000 UTC]

It looks really nice but I agree with the last person. A different angle would have probably worked better. It's almost a tad to busy, but the moment you captured is excellent. I just wish the second runner, the other who's holding the torch, didn't have his face obscured.

Aside from that this is a beautiful shot. Very vivid colors and I love gentleman on the farthest right. I'm certainly jealous that you were able to photograph this.

Thank you Kait!I wanted to emphasize to the Special Olympics athlete and the flame, not the rest of the runners and participants. Maybe a differed cropping would do the difference…

firdafriday [2011-06-13 15:14:45 +0000 UTC]

Good. But, you better capture from another angle. I think this photo still doesn't have point of interest. The rest is good. Ciao!
