[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was taken at Boavista, one of the Cape Verde islands. A wreck of a ship is laying along one of the most windy beaches of the isle. It is rusty and dark, and, in a foggy and windy day, it is surrounded by a mysterious atmosphere.

Scanned from a Velvia 100

Hi Stefano. Great photo. Nicely balanced composition with good colour and detail. Good work and thanks for sharing.
Cheers. Paul.

Hi Stefano,
When I look at the colour of the sea, I see why they call it Cape Verde. The rusty hull is like a warning about the unpredictable dangers of these coasts. The fog adds mystery to the sandy beach and the hills beyond. I like it a lot except that I think the wreck could have been placed a bit more to the right.
Regards.

Very nice shot. It looks very mysterious or even scary! Great capture of a strange atmosphere.

Hi Stefano

great capture of this wreck, and the waves that brought about its destruction. Perhaps it could have been placed further right, but a good shot showing the dangers of nature.

Regards

David

Ciao Stefano.
Immagine molto bella, tesa come il vento sul mare.
Atmosfera misteriosa, se mi consenti di continuare con l'accezione Hollywood Production.
Io ho concluso con oggi la fase TE Classic e da domani.. vai di diagonali ;-)
Un saluto

Hello Stefano,

Very interesting view: the colors are smooth with the little fog and the panoramic framing fits well to this kind of view.
Thanks for the sharing,

Yves.

Ciao Stefano, bella foto, ha un'atmosfera cupa, da nave fantasma. Emozionante.
Saluti.
Francesco.

Ciao Stephano
très belle photo de cette épave. Elle doit être assez vieille car toute rouillée. La couleur de l'eau est magnifique et ta photo donne une bonne image de la forces des éléments. Bravo

Hola,
you brings a very especail atmosphere in this picture. really good. It's a wild sea, with the "bones" of this ship. Colours and the contrast of the ship with the sea and sands is great.

Well done,

Hasta la vista,

javier

Ciao Stefano,

Very nice image, well scanned and well composed. Colors are natural also, cheer !

Christophe

splendida foto che mi riporta indietro di qualche mese. E' incredibile come appena ci si sposta dalle spiagge turistiche si entri in un'atmosfera senza tempo, in posti in cui le isole del capo verde sono approdi pericolosi, in cui esiste il vento non solo per il kite surfing, le spiagge che in realtà sono il deserto fino a riva. decisamente bella, ha reso molto bene quella boa vista fuori dai clichè.
ciao, giacomo
