Beautiful golden reflections in the foreground. Nice contrast with the dark sky. There is quite a lot of glare in teh sunset, but that can be erctified in postprocessin.
I think that a panoramic format would work well here. And a note would be most welcome.

Very nice composition; I really like the colors you have here on the grass and the sunset is superb.
Well done Paolo.

I love the glistening green and golden turf or straw beach Paolo. It looks "braided". with the hint of cirrus clouds on blue sky and the golden afternoon, this is really a fine afternoon shot.

Superba composizione, Paolo. Il vento sembra infierire sull'erba dai riflessi dorati e i nuvoloni neri al tramonto non sembrano promettere nulla di buono. Un tramonto diverso da molti altri. Ottima drammatizzazione.

The light on the straw is unnatural. How has this been achieved? The sky looks like its from a different light situation. The light on the straw looks as if its falling from over the shoulder of the camera while the sun sets in front!

Great photo. That glistening gold color of the grass is really amazing plus that thick cloud surrounding the sunset.

Beautiful sunset landscape .I really like the wind sensation is captured. The sun is maybe a little overexposed but the mood is still great!
Well done!

Hi Paolo
Nothing much to say here, other than a very beatiful compo, excellent effect of the grass, the very best colour setting - all ending in a kind of classic nature painting. Bravo

Beautiful image here, but I'm also puzzled by the light (as Avishek mentions), it really looks very unnatural.

•  
• arnabchat (6288)
• [2004-11-01 7:00]

this is like a painting, oil on canvas. great colors, and clarity.
Avishek points out rightly:
though the sun is overexposed and on the horizon, i'm puzzled, why the grass (straw) seems to reflect the light, which means there is a source of light from the direction of the photographer, or to his right.

Hi Paolo, the different colour tints are very beautiful, the golden colours on the for ground imminent clouds an the sky, give a great composition. Nice frame too.
Thanks for sharing.

Great use of light in this photo, Paolo. Also, your composition deserves praise for the inclusion of the wind-bent grass in the foreground behind which the beautiful waterside scenery is opening up. The slightly gloomy sky tops it off perfectly. Well done, a lot of atmosphere in this one.

Excellent imagery here, but your use of lights remain a mystery for me. Have we, two suns ??

Fantastic shot Paolo. I like the effect that you have achieved with the grass (slower shutter speed?) as well as the sunset.

This photo has a really magical feel to it, Paolo. The 'golden' grass is just amazing. Beautiful colours in the sky too. Well done.

I admire the skill involved with Photoshop, this is not a scene you will ever see in Ireland. Maybe TrekLens would be a better forum?

Wow! How did you do this Paolo!?
The grass is outstanding. The shimmering, golden effect and the texture is amazing.
The colours are ecxellent, so vivid and strong.
I like the dramatic sky.
This is one of the best sunset pictures I've seen.

Remarquables couleurs à l'avant plant et ciel d'une infinie beauté. Il est un peu dommage qu'il y ait un bruit de font, du grain, au niveau de l'eau.

Hi Paolo

Superb background lighting on the foreground grass gives it an almost luminous tone. The sky is exceptional, too. Well done!

Hi Paolo, I like very much your photo. The effect of the wind and the perfect light are the more important factors in this shoot, for me. This is a very good job.

What a beautiful Irish sunset you've managed to capture here. The grass bended by the wind and covered by the golden light is beautiful and gives nice textures. A superb landscape as only Ireland (an in particular Northwestern Ireland) can produce, and that you've nicely present ! Thanks for sharing.

•  
• LCannon (2742)
• [2005-07-11 15:06]

I love the bumpy grasses here in the foreground, even as lovely as the sky is, the grasses make to photo for me. They look so windswept and glowing, well done. I love photos from Ireland since my ancestors came from there in the mid-1700's, I'd love to visit one day. TFS this lovely photo.

You have this very superb shot. It looked very like a CGI shot, man.

Very clever composition with good exploration of all the elements and light conditions. Wonderful capture of the shine on the grass. It gives a certain element of 3D.
