hello Carlos,
I have a heavy bias in favour of the polarisers, and I do like the saturated sky here, as far I'm concerned it adds drama to the scene and increases contrast with the golden green mountains in the foreground. love the depth here, everything feels so fresh. superb level of detail in the foreground, this is a great shot.

with best regards,
Kristine

p.s. I've noticed that different polarisers work a little different, I guess it's the quality of the glass. for the lens I use most I bought Nikon "slim" polarizer, which is about half as thick as the Hoya, and although I might be wrong, I think that Nikon offers a better clarity.

Hi Carlos,
A new no: 100, not many of us can say that ;-) Pity the last one was withdrawn.
Strong colours in front, but a terrible hazy sky, but you already know that.
The 18-55 is not the best lens to put a good pola filter on, that lens is soft like a tisue, good glass will give you much more....but also that you already know ;-)

hola Carlos
there is an incredible depth in this photo,it's really nice to see so far,your POV was really gret!I love the texture of the grasses on the foreground and their superb golden colours makes a magnificent contrast with the blue sky!I don't think this one is much damaged,and its blue tone is very beautiful,as the two colours blue and yellox fit very well together!I like very much!
Regards.

Hej Carlos
So 100 ones again. maybe not the same smile but sure a fantastic photo, this unripe lemon green that goes on an on and slowly turns in to a hazy blueish green and finally reach the horizon to get one with the deep deep sky. it's marvelous view. it really promis good for the future.

Hi Carlos,
I'm presently using a standard Canon 400D, 18-55mm with BW polarizer, often to the max, and my skies, WHEN CLEAR, don't get damaged, not at all. Nor I can detect any polarizer-caused damage in this shot of yours, for that matter. You had tricky sidelight, which you managed exceedingly well, and the Hoya helped to dim the overexposure in those clouds. The haze, as far as I can see, is actually what "sort of" screws up things in here, but I doubt you would've been able to get a better sky overall quality without polarizer.
I think you did the best you could under the circumstances (yes, those Canon 18-55 lenses are SOFT!) and presented us with a fine picture. The view is awesome, so is the framing and so are colors.
Cheers,
Fulvio.

ps. 100? CONGRATULATIONS!

Oi, Carlos
A sua tomada está simplesmente deslumbrante. O degradê da luz que vai do primeiro ao último plano está esplêndida, e claro, devidamente, acompanhada pelas cores e contrastes. O uso do PL ajustou bem os tons do céu. Adorei a riqueza dos verdes que se perde, vista afora. Grande trabalho, amigo. Um abraço, Consuelo

Oi Carlos,
Simplesmente uma maravilha de foto.Iluminação e profundidade nota 1000. Enche os olhos e alegra os corações, realmente.Para mim é o que há de mais importante em uma foto, a gente olha, olha de novo e dá vontade de olhar outras vezes. Parabéns.
Abraços
Maria

Carlos,
voce ta comecando a ficar exigente demais. Esta apresentando uma imagem muito bem composta, com uma luz excepcional, cores vibrantes na vegetacao ... o unico probleminha e a or cheio de impurezas (haziness). O problema nao e o filtro polarizante, pelo contrario deu um toque muito especial. Abriu um contraste maravilhoso com o amarelo do capim a frente. Para de reclamar!

Olá Carlos,
sky -> not preferred. Light and clarity and colours and depth and impression and beauty -> preferred. Anything forgotten? -> sorry!
And what else -> for me the chance to say thanks for a 100 shared moments (even a 101) and good luck for the next 100...000.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

ola carlos

quite a whoo-hooo sight! :) love what you've done with light and color here. pure gold in the foreground, 18 karats, for sure ;) about the polarizer: i disagree, this is definitely not the worst case scenario in terms of damaging the sky. i actually like the extra touch of saturation in the sky.

warm regards,
kristaps

Olá Carlos,
una nueva vista fantástica del Morro os Perdidos, donde destaca la inmensa y excelente profundidad de campo y los maravillosos colores.
Contemplar tu fotografía durante unos minutos me produce un gran bienestar y calidez, es sumamente bella y respira aire fresco!!
El formato vertical incide más en la inmensidad del valle justo hasta tocar el azul cielo ;-)

Un abraço y feliz weekend!

Jordi

Oi Carlos,

Muito bonita a luz durada sobre a relva, nao vi problemas no ceu, ha um pouco de efeito halo, mas sempre isto sempre aparece na minha tela para quase todas as fotos pois a tela muito nitida. No mais eu gosto do efeito saturado.

Abracos,

Flavia

Ola Carlos,
excellent capture with the light to floodlight the scene in the foreground and in combination with the fog in the background to create a splendid shot.I like the details and the clarity of the image as the contrasted colors.Superb.

Hello Carlos,
The is a lovely presentation with the golden tones and sharp details of the grass and hills in the foreground portrayng a painterly feeling. The depth of the distance is great. You mentioned the overuse of a polarizer damaging the sky. You sky looks good, but a polarizer can damage the sky. This happened to me, Abu Simbol, when my sky turned much too dark. Your picture is excellent, as usual!
Warm wishes,
Betty
