Priest using his cell phones19 total reviews

Superb composition even without the priest. He fits in like a glove and the cell phone thing is so cool. Beautiful colors and the tone mapping looks fabulous.

It does look a little strange to see the Orthodox Priest in his cassock & cap while talking on one phone & maybe texting on the other in his hand, behind him the bay lit by the sun overhead & the city of Chios behind that the blue mountains under a blue sky with the fluffy clouds just passing over the mountains. Beautiful composition & lighting, superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

The colors of the sky, clouds, mountains, and water, all very beautiful. Very clear and the depth is wonderful. Love your analogy!

Like your treatment of this photograph which gives the image a HDR appearance. Sometimes this works and other times it does not - this is one instance where it does work. The scenery is beautiful with clouds drifting by a blue sky. There is light bouncing off the water. My eyes focus on the man who is in the foreground. He is on the correct side of the frame and he is balanced by the lamp post. I have no idea why people want two or more mobile phones. What an earth do people find to talk about. Load of old rubbish most of the time. The only people benefitting are the mobile phone companies! I bet they laugh all the way to the banks! This photograph is very apt for the contest. I wish you Good Luck in that.

Great tone in the photograph with your editing. Tremendous distinct vivid textures, color, and detail. The stone wall is unbelievably sharp and the DOF is tremendous. One of those phones could be a direct connection to the big guy.

Good compare and contrast shot, and a writer could find a lot to discuss about the symbolism here, from the priest wearing traditional garb and working two phones and the light reaching up and getting ready to brighten up the pending darkness that will be created by the clouds. Great mountain backdrop!

I like the use of the three quarter profile for the priest positioned to the left so that it is possible to see the panoramic view of the bay. the lighting is soft but dramatic due to the sky. The light standard and wall add balance to the composition as does the boat. As you suggest religion in the modern age now dependant on technology
