Info Mochlos island (Agios Nikolaos) in the evening with the archaeological excavation site where the excavations continue to this day. Low light shots of this island are quite rare. created by Petro Stelte – uploaded by Petro Stelte – nominated by Petro Stelte -- Petro Stelte (talk) 14:01, 1 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Support Ocean-related photos are my Achilles’ heel. I spent time looking at this image, searching for some detail in the sky, in the water, or somewhere else that would make it special, but I couldn’t find one. Instead, I see a centered photo that feels monotonous from top to bottom. That said, the shadow makes me question how good this photo really is—not because of what it shows, but because of what it doesn’t show. It is an abstract photo that invites the imagination; I can almost see a lighthouse and a psychiatric hospital in it. --Wilfredor (talk) 02:34, 2 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Support Nice calm low-key mood. A daring nomination because I would have expected it to get picked apart for technical flaws owing to the low light - pleased to see reviewers are more open minded. Cmao20 (talk) 11:05, 2 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Support Beautiful, nice mood, a touch of mystery – a nice change from the usual “full sun” photographs of Greece. – Aristeas (talk) 20:01, 2 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
