Very, very nice work, Aris! I especially love the top one of the side view of the sailor with the landscape behind him. The sky effects are wonderful!

Hello Aris! How's everything with you in beautiful Greece. Fabulous image magically realised with your usual skill and talent. I love the sky with its mystical moons and shooting stars. I like the idea of the sailor home from the sea saluting the Grecian population. Very clever manipulation and quite poetic in its composition. Love it! Brilliant photography!

Artist Reply: Hi Rusty, how are you? things are ok. thanks for asking :) well Spring time finally arrived and so i'm packing up and ready to go. I will be away for some months but they have internet access there so I will visit AW to say hi whenever i have the time. Thanks a lot for the kind words, i appreciate it. Aris

Lovely pic Aris!! It brings back many memories, its been quite a long time since I last visited Gythio.

Artist Reply: Glad you like the photo James, i visit Gythio almost every summer it's very nice, i also had photography from Sparta but couldn't find the photos they must be in an external harddrive which i left at my parents house, Sparta was the place i was born but i brought up to a place next to it.
