Hi Elzbieta,
thanks for sharing this. I love it. Wonderful mood and very good technical aspects with light, colour and sharpness. The spotted cloud is a dream. Yes, magic included.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Very nice shot with the silhouettes, sunbeams and great light. Cropping just a bit from the bottom might bring out a more interesting proportion. Well done. Regards,

john_c (24635) 2007-03-26 16:41

Hi Elzbieta,
The silhouetted boats are like magical apparitions in the sunset, with just the right exposure level. I might have cropped a little on the left to bring in the lead boat, but that is personal preference. A very romantic mood here and an aura of absolute peace and tranquillity.
John

Hi Elzbieta,

What a magical scene .. these beautiful boats against the vastness of the see .. evocative just their .. and then you add this magical and beautiful light .. I love it.. The way the placement of the boats draws depth out of this is just wonderful as well.

Hi Elzbieta. Wow! Great photo. Perfect timing to have the sunbeam focused on that cloud and catch the colours as you have. And the tropical feel comes through loud and clear also. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Parabéns e Abraço!

danyy (68572) 2007-03-29 2:51

Bonjour Elzbieta,
des endroits que l'on ne voit pas souvent sur TE.
Et même si cette photo pouvait avoir été prise d'un peu n'importe où sur cette latitude, c'est mieux de savoir d'où elle provient.
Le moment est bien choisi, celui où se cache le soleil pour laisser diffiser des rayons bien droits.
Les couleurs sont finement capturées, jolies lumières, une mer bien exposée, détaillée.
Best regards.
Daniel.

rushfan2112 (2965) 2007-03-29 10:44

Beautiful lighting creates a super-relaing mood. Stunning scene - wish I was there! Regards, Paul.

Hi Elzbieta!

Wow, such an impressive shot, in the same way the previous one are! The light and colours plays the game, but the composition also makes its parts, such an awesome reault!

Thank you so much for your words about my Turin pic!

Cheers and enjoy your weekend!

Miguel

feather (49858) 2007-03-30 10:10

What separates this from just another sunset is the way the last rays from the sun are beaming upwards to illuminate the little clouds. The anchored boats make wonderful silhouettes against the stunning colours.
Kath

josepmarin (33785) 2007-03-30 12:30

Hi Elzbieta,
Wow! Fantastic sunset captured with all his beauty in this setting.
I like it very much his light and his colors, the tone of the water and the beams of the Sun that go out behind the line of the horizon.
It is a magnificent work.
Best regards,
Josep

Philippe (11771) 2007-03-30 16:13

Hi, Elzbieta. The silhouettes of the ships in the foreground occupy the space very well and give some originality to this sunset. The colours are really beautiful with good contrast between the red/orange tones ans the darker clouds. Maybe I would have cropped a little in the bottom of the image.

anesugur (16818) 2007-03-30 16:53

pranab (5354) 2007-03-31 0:12

Elzbieta,
excellent colorful capture. sunrise or sunsets they are always facinating. placement of the sailboats here in this frame is just right and that fills the void too.

pboehringer (770) 2007-03-31 21:01

You definitvely git a magic light and color moment, Elzbieta. Fantastic to see the hidden sun behind the clouds having this golden and orange beams up into the sky. Maybe cropping a little bit the lower portion would focus the attention even more on the principal element of this shot.
TFS, Peter

kermit350 (8988) 2007-04-09 6:55

Elzbieta good evening, I like how you have to collect this reverberation or the sun sets ablaze water and puts fire at the lake and lights l`horizon, l'harmonie coloured obtained under this lighting is astonishing, and even surrealist, detail them come out extremely well from this sight, as much better than the silhouette of the boats are quite black, it is the magic of the photograph it with always the small one details there which attracts the glance unrelentingly, I appreciate this example and the proof by the image which photography is to write with the light, sincerely .............................Bonsoir Elzbieta, j’aime bien comment tu as capter cette réverbération ou le soleil embrase l’eau et met le feu au lac et éclaire l‘horizon, l'harmonie colorée obtenue sous cet éclairage est étonnante, et même surréaliste,
les détailles ressortent fort bien de cette vue, d’autant mieux que les silhouette des bateaux sont bien noire, c’est la magie de la photo il y à toujours le petit détaille qui attire inexorablement le regard, j’apprécie cet exemple et la preuve par l’image que la photographie c’est d’écrire avec la lumière, bien amicalement

atus (15452) 2007-04-09 18:03

Hi Elzbieta,
fantastic sunset shot with this filtering light and amazing colours. Waht a calm and peaceful atmosphere here! Great one!

jrj (34779) 2007-04-11 6:09

Most special and interesting light effect in the back there E. Combined with good use of the boats and the few scattered clouds you present a very moody, interesting result. Maybe a little crop in the lower part had worked as well .

bertolucci (11976) 2007-04-13 12:44

Beautiful work Elzbieta. I love those rays, the very warm hues and the three silhouetted boats here. A classic and dramatic sun set!
Have a nice weekend,

HI Elzbieta
This is a wonderful photo. I like teh composition with boats, but the best is that single sunray hitting a single cloud in teh sky. Perfect!
Well done and seen
Jorge

coco (27786) 2008-03-19 14:10

Hi Elzbieta.

The warm light is the key of this photo.
Well done and well seen. You made a good composition and also it is a good subject.

Regards.

Thorondor (105) 2008-12-19 21:30

Wow! This has to be one of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. Both the execution and the theme are incredible. I love the blue and orange gradients of the sky, the last rays of the sun, the incredible clouds...and then the theme of the photo, with the inviting horizon, and the idea of sailing into the sunset. Incredible!

While not a critique, I do wonder what this would look like with a nice frame, which I think would highlight the photo even more, and give it that poster-like feel which it certainly deserves.
