Photographer’s Note

Volare......

Nel blu dipinto di blu" ("In the Blue Painted Blue"), popularly known as "Volare" (Italian for the infinitive form of the verb "to fly"), is Domenico Modugno's signature song. It is the only song that originated in Italy to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

Modugno's recording became the first Grammy winner for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1958. It is the only foreign-language recording to achieve this honor. It spent six weeks atop the Hot 100 in August and September 1958 and was Billboard's number-one single for the year. It is one of only three one-hit wonders to become single of the year in the history of the Hot 100 (followed by "Stranger on the Shore" by Acker Bilk in 1962 and "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter in 2006).

Geia sou Costantino,
I like the effect of vagueness, and the so beautiful light silvered on the sea. The contrasts of lights and colors are very successful and create an envy for evasion.

Ola amigo ,
Que linda foto com este pôr do sol em tons de laranja , achei magnificas estas silhuetas das gaivotas , belo reflexo do sol na agua , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

CMJC (3100) 2009-06-21 9:22

un contre jour sur des îles un soir, c'est toujours beau; mais quand on y allie un vol d'oiseau, c'est encore mieux...

comme le nuage n'est malheureusement pas entier à gauche je crois que j'aurais recadréun peu plus court pour ne pas regreter juste le petit bout manquant, et un tout petit peu moins du haut aussi qui est presque trop éblouissant; mais c'est un avis très perso et ainsi c'est déjà bien beau! ☺

This is a great composition with this fine maritime scene!
