Zanzibar sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

This building was the sea restaurant from our hotel.It was a dream to have there fresh fish and other speciall kinds of fish.My other picture shows the way to this restaurant.There was also a shisha bar and a normal bar on the water but you can´t see because I just needed this building for the sunset shot:=).
When we arrived the sun was shinig the whole day,but before the sunset a lot of big clouds came and hide the sun so I couldn´t take a picture on my first day.AT the other day I was more lucky We got this beatifull sunset and I took a lot of shots.
Hope you like
Toba

Hi Tobias.

This is a great picture! I really like you positioning here with the sun behind the hut. Also the reflection of the sun on the water is really good.

Very well captured!

Blair

Hi Toba
A beautiful sunset with beautiful silhouettes. The reflection of the sun on the water is very attractive. Nice one.

Hi Toba,
ja auch ein sehr schönes Foto aus Sansibar, toller Sonnenuntergang. Die einzigen Sachen: Kann es sein, dass der Horizont nicht 100% gerade ist, ich glaube er ist ein bisschen nach rechts geneigt.
2. Hast du das grüne da auch gesehen, oberhalb der Reflektionen. Ich weiß nicht was das ist, aber es stört ein bisschen.
Aber dennoch, schönes Bild.
Ich hab dir einen Workshop gemacht, wo ich das versucht habe zu beheben, ich hoffe er gefällt dir, hab mir Mühe gegeben.

Beste Grüße
Mark

Hey Toba,
erstmal klasse POV. Die Sillouhette schaut klasse aus, vorallem mit der sonne und den Spiegelungen. Das wasser ist schön klar und half mit, dass daraus eine super Kompo wurde.
Gefällt mir sehr gut,
schöne Grüße, Kris

Hello Toba,
You have a great talent inside you as a photographer!
Brilliantly using the sea restaurant as a silhouette to stop the OE from setting sun and to have the reflection on the water to a minimium OE! well done
this is a romantic and beautiful place as seen from your shot
keep it up!
see you around!

Hello Tobias
It is great to see the silhouette of that building in front of these golden colours. Details and point of view are excellent. Well done!
Best regards
Denis!

Toba,
composition is really great here, I like how you have the sun shining through the hut that spakles in the water. what a great effect. Color and light are very well manage with just enough contrast and saturation. Sharpness can be a little better I think, judgin from my screen, but you may be on a moving platform when taking this photo. Thanks again for this beautiful image.
Way

Philippe (11645) 2008-05-08 9:27

Hi, Tobias. The silhouettes of the buildings are very nice and have allowed you to temper the strength of the sun. The reflections are nice. Maybe there could be some more contrast in the sky.

Hi Toba,
i can really appreciate it from someone of your age to have the interest in photography.You will only become better when your getting older and you're going to be a great photographer (you already are..) i'm sure about that.

Nice sunset in this picture, great light and POV.
TFS..again
Vanessa

Hallo Tobias,
A good eye in seeing this, but more important the way you composed it. the glow around the hut is very beautiful, but also the details in front on the water, great clarity in that part. Froming is tight, but i like that, puts all focus on the restaurant....very nice.
Regards, Henk

Hi, Tobias -

Good eye to see this one in the few minutes it was available. Any later and the sun would be showing through the hut; this way, it is better lighting and creates a bit of mystery.

Best,
Dan

Hey,
This is really nicely framed, and the colors are beautiful in the sky and around the hut.
A small bit of focus lost, but otherwise really nice.
Dave.

Hello Tobias,
This is a pleasant sunset silhouette!
Point of view has been picked carefully, and the structure stands out well on the sunset sky...
Warm colours and an inviting atmosphere, well done!

Hi Tobias,

I like the softness of this sunset, the colors are very pleasant but I think that a better clearness would have been one more. However the point of view is quite selected to have an excellent back-light on the restaurant. Pretty glance Tobias.

With all my friendships and a very good end-of-day,

Jean-Charles

Hallo Tobias,
Ein wirklich gut gelungenes Foto mit einer einzigartigen Atmosphäre. Die untergehende Sonne genau hinter der Hütte zu platzieren war eine hervorragende Idee. Die Reflexionen im Wasser sind ausgezeichnet. Gratulation!!!
Schöne Grüße,
Natascha
