Tropical Sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

A typical sunset in a tropical island (In this case in the photogenic island of La Digue).
The beach of Anse Severe is not one of the most known in the Seychelles, but it is a very beutifull beach with several good spots for nice photos.
I took several photos on this beach, this is my second post from Anse Severe.

I hope you like this one.

Hello Pedro--it's not exactly an original subject, so everything has to be perfect to catch people's attention, and I think you've succeeded in that! The colors are ideal, with a gentle fade from soft blue to bright orange. The tree and the rocks are perfectly placed for strong, yet relaxed, silhouettes. Normally I would expect such narrow vertical framing to not be relaxed enough for a tropical sunset, but somehow it's just right, here. A very well executed shot, and the result is a beauty! Regards, Ken.

Hi Pedro
Pretty postcard style with the branch of the tree leaning over the sun. I like the yellow tones, reflection on the water and the silhouettes.

Hi Pedro,

A postcard shot. An old and often done subject, but beautifully composed and executed.

Lovely colours moving from blue to the organish yellow.

Good framing and POV.

Cheers,
Guru

Olá Pedro,
las fotos del atardecer siempre son muy atractivas, y la tuya no es una excepción. El paisaje paradisíaco del lugar, las siluetas de la palmera y de las rocas, junto a las montañas del fondo de la imagen y el sol dando los tonos dorados al cielo y unos preciosos brillos en el mar, todo forma una bella composición.
Excelente trabajo.
Un saludo,
Josep

Que maravilha de poente, Pedro! O dourado está lindíssimo e as silhuetas muito bem definidas e negras, o que denota a excelente exposição. O enquadramento é igualmente muito bom e os coqueiros são um detalhe fantástico, espetados neste céu divino. A atmosfera é mesmo totalmente tropical e a foto exala este clima delicioso. Um presente de Deus! O duro é voltar para casa, não é mesmo?
Abraço,
Zeca

Hi Pedro!

Amazing sunset photo, with great composition and excellent use of the vertical framing. Great silhoutte of the palm tree and amazing colours. Congratulations!

Photographers classically say not to take a sunset photo anymore. But this picture is really great.

themox (24) 2007-04-02 6:49

Olá Pedro, outra grande imagem, que define com perfeição o termo pôr-do-sol tropical.

Parabéns.

Hi Pedro. I suppose you could call this the 'classic' tropical sunset shot which every photographer has somewhere in their portfolio. Yours is very well executed with good management of the light and superb sharpness on the palm fronds. Cheers . . . David

neillupin (59) 2008-03-19 8:45

Love it. I'd have done two things differently - I'd have gone for a 1/2 to 1 sec exposure with filters to blur the water and I'd have kept the top of the palm tree in but I love it. There next week. Can't wait. Which beaches on La Digue and Praslin do you recommend most highly?

bosskokoss (2212) 2009-11-09 14:54

Hello Pedro. Fantastic topical sunset. Good lights management and nice colours. That's a beautiful and pleasant picture! Regards Piotr.
