Autumn reflections, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

Hello friends,
Foto na Quinta da Alagoa situated in Carcavelos, captured these reflections at the end of the day in this small pond.

The Parque Quinta da Alagoa, in Carcavelos, once owned by the society of Jesus, was a farm producing wine of Carcavelos.
Of the past still conserves traces of original forest, and also counts with boxwood Topiary in flowerbeds along the ruins of older buildings.
Visitors can also enjoy some architectural elements, such as hydraulic parts water catchment and storage, and driving to the surface. The lagoon which gives its name to the Park, is still today powered the same way, by groundwater abstraction.
Much sought after by the local population and not only, the Park is an informal usage space where various recreational activities become possible in large lawns, two playgrounds, tennis courts, running or in the pleasant cicuito surrounding the lagoon.
The Parque Quinta da Alagoa, also has internet access and a small area of restoration. The entire set was recently awarded a prize for landscape architecture.

Ola Goncalo

Effective tight framing on just the colorful reflections, with good sharpness, saturation & lighting contrasts. The solitary duck is well positioned off centre. Obrigado!

pierrefonds (113492) 2011-11-28 20:01

Hi Goncalo,

the reflections on the water are assets to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the mallard duck and of the ripples on the water. The late afternoon light is bringing out the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.

shevchenko (20560) 2011-11-28 22:58

Hi Goncalo,
Good frame to a natural painting works by the reflection, the alone duck in the middle add a good contrast to the less busy river surface, fantastic color and lighting effects, distinct image, good shoot.

kato (11630) 2011-11-30 4:04

Hello Goncalo,

You're capturing well this scene by a good composition and tasteful color tone, so it's impressive to see the colorful reflection projected to the pond and small surf on pond. And, the duck swimming on the pond draws out additional good effect.

Regagrds,
mikio

jlbrthnn (76043) 2011-11-30 8:32

Oi Gonçalo,
A reflexão de ouro é muito agradável de se ver. O volátil irresistivelmente chama a atenção. Luz a cor, nitidez são excelentes. Bravo.
Oi Gonçalo,
Bom dia.
Amicalement

josepmarin (59385) 2011-12-01 0:35

Olá amigo Gonçalo,
el encuadre tan explícito sobre el estanque da una gran potencia gráfica a los reflejos, con un toque abstracto debido a las ondulaciones y las texturas del agua.
Los patos añaden un poco de vida a esta imagen, y los tonos otoñales dan una gran belleza al conjunto.
Un bello trabajo.
Um abraço,
Josep

macjake (98260) 2011-12-01 2:02

Hi Goncalo
certainly a different photo from you.
its always welcome though.
funny how this duck is all alone, surprised its only one, and at least not two.
I like how you've cut the subjects out, leaving just the reflections for us to view.
Also, i like how the same reflections extend to the bottom of the frame.
nice work
cheers

Very different picture from you! Like the idea of having only the reflections in the frame with the duck as a great addition. Nice crop into a pano format
