The Azure Window Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Azure Window is another spectacular natural landmark in Dwejra, Gozo, Malta, along with The Inland Sea and Fungus Rock. The Azure Window at the end of the cliff, is a giant doorway, through which one can admire the blue expanse beyond the cliff. It must be one of the most photographed vistas of the Islands, and is particularly spectacular during the winter, when waves crash high inside the arch. The sea around is very deep and of a dark blue hue, which explains why it is called the Azure Window. The rocks in this area are encrusted with fossilized crustaceans, evidence that most of the island was once covered by water.

Intéressante et très jolie présentation suivie d'une bonne note
Magnifique couleur de la mer a travers la fenêtre, avec belle évaluation de hauteur par la présence des personnes, la lumière et le format pano, très joli endroit

Hi Francis, The temptation would be to wait until there was no one in the image, but I think the inclusion of the girl is a good addition, providing scale and a focal point. Cheers, Steve

I like your orientation here with a pleasing composition with the Azure window slightly at the middle, i only find the quality a bit sharp for my taste other than that it's a very good shot Francis.

Hello Francis,

a good framing for this marvel of the nature. The fine light allows to appreciate every detail. Good to have included the people to give the sense of right proportions. Wise cropping too.
Best greetings,
Donato

HI Francis Xavier,
Cery nice and impresive place the people give the scale and the image is well exposed but the horizo is leaning a bit and you sharpened too much which is aggressive to the eye.
Have a nice day JY

Composition originale.
Les gens répartis en 2 plans bien distincts font prendre conscience de l'éloignement de la fenêtre.
Bravo.
