...anything else Photo

Photographer’s Note

Lagoon, rare clouds for March, a dhony boat and the reef line on the horizon...pure Maldives style, anything else.
nothing more.
That were the only one clouds that we saw during all our vacations in February and March around Maldives.

drama in nature... what could have been a better title?
only for the fact, the boat is too cornered, i like the image.
Thanks for sharing. Arnab

PS: I'll be visiting Torino 28 June-2 July.

Ciao Paolo,
immagine molto bella con fantastica luce filtrante tra la massa di pesanti nuvole. é molto bello anche il colore argentato del mare nonché la composizione con la barca messa lí a puntino per te nell'angolo basso. Complimenti e buona settimana!

Paolo bonjour et merci pour ces couleurs toujours splendides - j'aime cette atmosphère nuageuse et même pluvieuse - très beau partage entre la mer, l'avant plan et le ciel -
Merci et bonne semaine
Gaby

Hello Paolo
Very beautiful mixture of sean sand and silhuete,
I like the earth toned colurs and beautiful sky. The boat is a bit crowded on the left and I think framing the photo just a little bit more to the left would have been good.
Regards
Daniel

The image simply breathtaking with the greatest artistical connotations that seems (the place) have been drawn directly from a mixture of onirism and JMW Turner landscape painting , but with much more calmness . A delight for the eyes . Buon Giorno !

pasternak (13324) 2006-06-12 7:00

Hi Paolo,

A very beautiful photo, the colour of clouds is great, and the silver light on the water as well, but I wonder if the placing of the subject so close to the border was a good thing...

Any way, looks like a paradise lost...

A beauty Paolo, indeed we see mostly sunny blue skies and see from there, you shot shows how impressive these clouds can be seen from these islands and their immense beaches.
Fine framed with the boat aside and I like the gradiant colotones to yellow and the reflection of the light in the sea a lot. Did you liked these islands a lot, worth to visit ?
greetings
Henk

ALIRIZA (16197) 2006-06-12 7:28

wanderful view.i wish i could go there...once...TFS!

fabio_ts (13674) 2006-06-12 8:39

WOW che nuvoloni, ..forse non è quello che uno si aspetta dalle Maldive, però, da un punto di vista fotografico... e poi, se queste erano le uniche nuvole che hai trovato.. . non so se sarò altrettanto fortunato in settembre... :o)
La foto beneficia moltissimo delle condizioni del cielo, che, le dona un'atmosfera decisamente accativante.. ottima la composizione, ..buona settimana.. e che l'estate arrivi!!!!

ciao,
Fabio.

Hi Paolo,
I like the mood of this image...very calm, soft and tranquil.I like the orange marked by falling rain that divides between sea and sky and the rays of light reflected off the water.
Nicely composed with the boat though maybe a touch tight.Had a look at your gallery...very nice.
Regards, David

jrj (34779) 2006-06-12 9:35

Hi paolo
Also this one a fine contribution in your minimalistic series - thinking of the use of the seaside with just some few essential details included. Creative compo - good work

fayeulle (26543) 2006-06-12 9:39

Hi Paolo
Very sharp scan. Great colors. From my opinion I think the boat should be more on the right. Interresting silver lightness.
Cheers
JP

vinicio (22400) 2006-06-12 10:29

Bella foto Paolo, non sono molto d'accordo sulla posizione cosi estrema della barca, l'avrei portata un poco verso il centro, non tanto, ma il paesaggio e l'atmosfera sono splendidi, complimenti.
Ciao
Vinicio

What a scene and what a atmosphere, Paolo!
I like your composition with the lone boat in the golden spot. I also like rays in this shot.
Tanks for posting.
Regards, Amir

eleparc (24059) 2006-06-12 19:42

Jeronimo (1377) 2006-06-13 2:09

Exelent work ont this photo. I enjoy the POV and colours of water iluminated by this storming weather. Well done.

nex (2686) 2006-06-13 4:31

Yes another world, it could be called hidden world
The only fault is a that boat, for it´s very near to the end of the photo, otherwise very good
Wishing a great day:)

As usual, a beautiful landscape with a giant sky and a small vision of human being, so small compared to such uncontrolable strenght.

Hi Paolo, Another wonderful vista of this place in paradise. Unusul light conditions works well here. On the list to visit one day, thanks to your exposure on TE. Murray.

faubry (32291) 2006-06-14 7:56

veronika (6022) 2006-06-14 8:57

Hi Paolo, oh oh wooow :) I love the contrast between the sea horizont and orange sky, these are yours specific colours Paolo, you should put a copyright on them :))
Splendid image, i think Maldives are the right place for me :)

hi PAolo

Superb view

you had visited so many great place, that's great to see this before to die ( the latest if possible )
great colors i like the boat here.
ciao
greg

everlasting (10898) 2006-06-15 13:03

I love the sun rays just coming through the clouds, the whole composition is so relaxign to view. A seascape worthy of Turner.

capthaddock (28640) 2006-06-15 15:17

Hi Paolo - this may lack the orange and magenta glows of the sunset photos, but I think the contrast of the shimmering sea against the brooding sky creates an even more dramatic impression. I wish the boat was a few cm. further to the right.

Yffic (6106) 2006-06-16 3:02

Hi Paolo

A nice shot with a very powerful composition.
The colors of the sky are nice and the presence of the boat is a plus.

Regards.

Ciao Paolo,
ora ti spero al fresco delle montagne... mentre io cullo il sogno in un'isola solitaria ai margini di un mare che si confonde con il cielo.
Bellissima la tua immagine, decisamente d'atmosfera.
Un sorriso
Luca
