Perfect timing to take this unique and so beautiful photograph of sunset, bathing in the purple color. The diagonal composition and dark landscape are perfect for this presentation.

Cool colors. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of rocks, colorful water and SkyView is great. It's like the water just blends in with the sky. Very cool. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

Very nice capture here Fred. The colors are subtly pastel and soothing. The dark land masses in the foreground and right side make for dramatic framing elements and wonderfully contrast with the pastel colors saturating the scene.
Nice work here Fred.

My wife and I spent a couple of weeks in Crete 10 years ago. I especially loved the color of the waters which looked surreal.

It is fantastic colors in this photo, and they almost look unreal. Since it is you posting it, I do however believe they are. Must have been a fantastic morning.

The silhouetted landscape is standing out sharp and well defined against the sky and the sea, and the exposure is very good.

The cropping is perfect, and I think it is a very good balance in the composition. A truly beautiful and well taken photo Fred, and with a very depth.

The island view is extraordinary and I really like the color of the predawn light. It is worth getting a little less sleep to see this beautiful perspective Definitely an eye catching image.

The light in this fred is truly magical and the silhouette works a treat,looks almost like a painting in this,see it was taken from your hotel,because I have been to crete 3 times so far and stayed at different parts of the island and visited a lot of places there,my question is why having seen your photos you have not done the same,just curious to know why...Brian

A very good looking dawn scene posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of the beautiful sunrise before you. Like the colour contrasts. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!

Fred,
A spectacular & beautiful picture of the dawn. The sun still below the horizon colours the sky & clouds floating overhead in a beautiful shade of mauve that is reflected on the sea below & framed by the silhouetted headlands & the clouds rising up over the distant horizon. Beautiful atmospheric composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus,
Susan
