Hello Paolo
I very much like photos with hazy mountains in the background. They give a sense of calm and relaxation. This one is no exception. Nice one.
Best wishes
Mark

Hi Paolo!

I think that this could make a great b&w photo! Great POV, perspective and composition, magnificent layers. Congratulations!

Ciao, Hercules

Ciao Paolo, anche questa mi piace un bel pò. Ci sono soggetti per quattro fotografie concentrati in un solo scatto.
Bella!
Buona domenica

Great shot!

But somehow it makes me feel like something is cropped off with the left border of the frame, like something is hidden.
Well, may be that's just my weird imagination. :)

Bonjour Paolo,
une photo presque monochrome qui ne manque pas de profondeur. La brume joue aussi un rôle pour étendre cette profondeur au maximum.
Excellent POV en altitude. Un très bon week end à toi

Ciao Paolo.
Layers è un derivato PS/Autocad.
A me piace dire che la foto si articola su più piani di ripresa (primo, intermedio/i, sfondo) secondo i canoni classici della fotografia.
La sostanza non cambia, e questa disquisizione pseudo accademica me la potevo risparmiare: la foto è comunque molto bella. ;-)

What a blue photo if you don't see the line of trees on the peninsula...
You have made very good use of the layered landscape, there is a very nice depth inside the 2D reality. Compo is very well arranged, the dots, the peninsula and the slope of the hill meet at the lighthouse. Delicately arranged. Complimenti...
Ciao ciao,
Deniz

Hi Paolo,
very nice view, unusual a small island with the lighthouse, great mountains in BG. I don't know what camera You used - Nikon? Sony?
Gr., Aleksander

Yeah, I like your use of layers here Paolo, made all the more effective by the misty, hazy lighting conditions.
There's a good balance to your composition, and the 'things' in the water break up the foreground nicely.
One thing I would suggest is to put a black outline around the image - with a pale sky such as this you need separation from the white frame.
Good work, I like it.

Cheers,
Ben

Ciao Paolo,
buen título para esta foto en la que los niveles de grises van creando un ambiente muy especial a este bello paisaje mientras se aleja de tu punto de vista.
Me gusta el efecto gráfico de las balizas en el agua.
Un bello trabajo.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hello Paolo,

Very busy lately, I have not much time for TE. I like this with all the different levels. Well framed as well. I like how those things in the water take us into the frame.

Ciao!

Hello Paolo,
A lovely composition, where the presence of the haze creates this wonderful feeling of depth!
A well balanced composition, the different shades of blue work well!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hello Paolo
Very nice vue. I like the way you have filled up the frame and the subtle variations of blues here,
very nicely captured
Regards

Emile (20352) 2007-10-09 7:44

Hola Paolo.
Lovely landscape captured with soft colors and good sense of depth with the hazy mountains in the back. Very well captured, good POV. Well done. TFS.
Best regards.

giorgimer (35017) 2007-10-09 9:46

Ciao Paolo,

bellissimo il progredire della vista con i vari livelli sempre in minor contrasto. Ottima composizione.

Ennesimo capolavoro, bravo!

dougie (2523) 2007-10-10 6:28

Hi Paolo,
I like your approach here, allowing the layer densities to define the subject rather than just the composition. This also imposes a good distance effect to the whole image. Useful for me as I am intending shooting a very similar scene here and can use this as a model. Thanks.
Dougie.
