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!francis kwok peng kin 18 Mar 2007
