Ciao Goncalo,
una scena davvero stupenda, molto bella la luce che viene fuori dalla montagna illuminando le nuvole, l'effetto è davvero incantevole.
Molto belli anche i riflessi e la piccola presenza umana. Complimenti.
Un caro abbraccio.
Giorgio

Hello Goncalo! This is absolutely WONDERFUL. My personal key part is the lonely person walking at the beach that we can just see before disappearing in the dark side. Love the little bit of light on the rest water and I mean the clouds are fantastic, this is all fantastic. Great work. Have a good weekend, Barbara.

Ola Goncalo, excellent use of the wide-angle to produce this effect on the clouds. I like the pool of water to the left and the headland and person in sillhouette. The blue tones and light are magnificent. Great job, TFS and have a lovely evening, Lisa

Hola!

esta es una magnifica imagen, me gusta mucho el momento del dia con esa luz en el fondo y ese fantastico cielo, la profundidad de la imagen llama la atencion, un buen detalle el de la persona caminando por este bello rincon, enhorabuena!

Buen fin de semana!

Sergio

Penso que se tivesses cortado uma boa parte das zonas escuras a imagem teria ficado com mais impacto. Deixo um WS para ilustrar o que digo.

Lindíssima foto em azul e sombras. As nuvens douradas são lindas e a semi escuridão cria uma atmosfera nostálgica .Perfeita.

Olá Gonçalo,

prá mim a foto funciona muito bem. Fico impressionado com os tons e detalhes do céu. A presença humana e seu reflexo na poça d'água fica como a cereja do bolo. Excelente!
Abraço,
Carlos

SNOOP_Chan (4377) 2010-02-06 5:21

Hello Goncalo, i like the contrast between the dark sand and the sky, it's very well caught. The person in the composition is a very inspired idea, as well as its reflection. Lovely atmosphere, almost touchable.
Regards!

Kielia (24077) 2010-02-06 9:42

Hi Goncalo,
this is a very sophistaced compostion and you managed to handle the darkness in the left side very well. A great atmosphere of the lonely beach and very beautiful contrasts. Most of all I like the fantastic light! My compliments!
Warm regards
Harriet

jplebrun (21208) 2010-02-06 13:33

Ciao Goncalo,
bellissimao questo contrasto tra il nero della roccia e della sabbia e la splendida luce, bello anche il riflesso.
ottima compo con un cielo favoloso.
Giorgio

jafadabret (56501) 2010-02-07 0:30

Bonjour Gonçalo,
J'aime les couleurs de cette photo avec les bleus du ciel opposés aux couleurs plus chaudes des nuages. Il manque un peu de clarté sur la gauche pour profiter pleinement du paysage.
Beau travail !
Amicalement
Jacques

danos (110407) 2010-02-07 0:30

Bom dia Goncalo,
nice nocturne shot with the blue sky to be reflected perfect on the little ponds on the sandy beach.I like the colour tints of the upper colours of the sky, as the existence of the man that adds life in the scene.Well done.

Have a nice Sunday,Danos

tober (8797) 2010-02-07 3:47

Hello Gonçalo, this one of the beaches I like most in Portugal and I especially admire the fish restaurant just on the left hand side.

When it comes to the photo,the group of cotton-like clouds in the blue sky looks wonderful; however the beach and the rocky area is a bit underexposed. I guess, it is better to go there early in the morning when the sun light comes from the back side. Best regards, Tolga

clio (27961) 2010-02-07 5:43

Olá Gonçalo,
This photo is a really great success.
The light is extraordinary and so pure. The quite small man and its reflection give a dimension of fantastic unlimitedness. I put the photo in my favourites of the year.
Parabéns!
Have a nice sunday
Diane

Royaldevon (85932) 2010-02-07 6:07

Hello Goncalo,

What a wonderful, moody shot!
The composition is excellent, with an imaginery, diagonal line separating the shadowy area from the light of the stunning blue sky.
The solitary figure creates a strong focal point and stirs the imagination.

Havre a good Sunday,
Bev :-)

Budapestman (82620) 2010-02-07 7:14

Hi Goncalo,
a fantastic natural impression, the composition of the photo is effective, the people emphasized the size very well, the speciail lights adds a lot to the photo. Great shot, Tfs! Have a nice Sunday!
George

jhm (211736) 2010-02-08 2:41

Olá Gonçalo,

We get a fantastic contrast picture.
I love the little bit of light on the rest water and I mean the clouds are fantastic, this is all fantastic.
Excellent captured and composed.
Very well perspective and nice presentation.

Warmest regards,
John

riclopes (35577) 2010-02-10 2:43

Olá Gonçalo, que contraste de cor em diferentes fotos tiradas na mesma altura. Não sei se gosto mais das azuis ou das douradas :) Por agora escolho esta embora as texturas e luz da última sejam um espectáculo à parte. As nuvens e azul do céu estão magníficos aqui, mas o que me prendeu mesmo, foi o detalhe daquele reflexo com a pessoa a passar. Lindíssimo.
abraço,
ric

Same POV as your earlier shot but could not been more different! Fantastic colours especially on the clouds. More than that you've handled the exposure so very well...its an amazing photograph my friend...congratulations!
Um Abraco

Docarmo (9767) 2010-02-16 19:24

Olá Gonçalo,
Outra belíssima imagem com uso técnico e, ao mesmo tempo, artístico dos recursos fotográficos... Que inveja! Mas uma inveja saudável, de admiração!
Parabéns!
Docarmo

pierrefonds (114448) 2010-02-18 17:13

Hi Goncalo,

The reflections on the water are asset to the composition. The point of view is taking my eyes toward the cliff and the horizon which is giving depth to the photo. The sunset is giving nice colors to the sky, the sea and some shadows to the cliff and the beach. Have a nice day.
