I like to walk along the beach alone. A few kilometers from the civilisation there are almost no people. Just the sea and me :). I have thrown this branch myself to improve the composition ;). The photo taken few minutes after sunset.

Hi Henryk,

Excellent composition and good idea to throw the branck on the water. I really want to visit this place next time I am in Poland. Beautiful Polish waterscape with very pleasant colours. The soft texture of the water couples well with the wide array of colours above. Nice work Henryk.

Hello Henryk,
Amazing composition in colors and lighting...Somekind of art you find out in the nature and you give it to us with such a beautiful photo!

Have a nice weekend,
Thomas

hi henryk,
A simple shot of a simple subject,but so effective.It`s an excellent exposure with fantastic colors and framing.

Hi Henryk... well, sometimes it's a dilemma whether to modificate what you find... but well, such an impressive result you got here certainly justifies your adding that branch, which IMO makes the shot, as major eye-catcher, also with its subtle reflection. Nice creation, congratulations, Daniel

Hi Henryk. The evening is a great time for such walks, especially if you have the beach to yourself. Excellent sky, vivid colours and interesting patterns. Well captured and thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Hi Henryk,
Amazing image with long exposure time
wonderful colours
regards

Witaj Henryku.

Śmiać mi się chce, bo gdyby pójść zaledwie kilka kilometrów plażą w głąb Twojego kadru, doszłoby się do miejsca, gdzie ja wykonałem dość podobne zdjęcie:). Niemniej uznaje Twoją wyższość - Twoje zdjęcie zarówno kompozycyjnie jak i barwnie jest zdecydowanie ciekawsze od mojego. Tworzy klimat zachodu słońca oglądanego na jakiejś egzotycznej wyspie, a nie nad naszym chłodnym morzem.

Ja sam zmierzę się fotograficznie z okolicą Ustki i Poddąbia już za niecały miesiąc.

Pozdrawiam

Hello Henryk
Superb compo. with light. The branch is such an important element of the compo., add to that the silky waters due to slow shutter speed. Excellent!

Hi Henryk my friend,
Wonderful sense of emptyness, superb sharpness and definitions and wonderful colors. Nice sharpness on the dead tree and tulle effect on the sea.
Best regards. Salvator.

Rzadko publikujesz zdjecia ale jak juz to robisz to sa one niesamowite, kolor, swiatlo wprost oszalamiajace..
Pozdrawiam

That's exactely what I also like, but that's not easy around Lisbon - but not impossible. You're distroying the dunes in the name of photography, Henryk? Bad boy! Actually I see more in the BG - problably failed attempts... ;-) Gorgeous image with a very nice soft water texture and interesting cloudy recticulate.
um abraço,

Witaj Henryk,
excelelnt your idea to put this to 'break' the calmness of the scene.I like these splendid afternoon hues of the lights as the colors of the sky,as the reflections on the tranquil sea water.This walk must be the alter ego of everyone.Well done my friend.

Have a nice day,danos

Kolorystyczna fantazja, naturalny blur wywołany ruchem wody przy długo otwartej migawce, dobre światła na mokrym piasku i bardzo korzystnie wpływający na kadr kawałek urwanej gałęzi. Piękna kompozycja, świetnie wydobyty nastrój jednej z najciekawszych pór dnia. ten ogień na niebie - jak ja lubię takie przedstawienia... Świetna praca!
Pozdrawiam,
Jurek

It's good to see a new post from you Henryk. the sunset colours are delicate and beautiful. The slow shutter speed has had a wonderful effect on the sea. I think we ca forgive you for moving the branch. ;D I see there are others in the distance anyway. Well done

Hello Henryk,
one tree branch has changed a lot in the composition!
First, it adds more life (if I may say so) and romantic mood to the scene, and also the branch in the foreground helps see the perspective view better.
I like the lines of clouds in the sky and close to the horizon and their colours. And also, the wonderful soft colour of the sand on the beach.
regards,
Elena

Hello Henryk,

Beautiful colours!
The driftwood along the beach really add character to this fine capture...

Very beautiful lighting and colors. The branch is definitely a bonus! Very nice depth! TFS and have a happy day!

Hej Henryku
Prezentujesz tu bardzo ładne nadmorskie zdjęcie z serii zachodów Słonka. Ciekawy jest ten zatopiony w czerwieniach krajobraz; uroku nadaje mu oczywiście ta gałąź, czy dwie nawet oraz długi czas naświetlania, który wodę gdzieniegdzie zamienił w mgłę :). Fajne jest światło oraz podświetlone chmurki :)
Stworzyłeś interesujący, samotny krajobraz znad Bałtyku

Dobrej nocki

Hi Henryk
The colors are really amazing here. The sharpnessis perfect and the low speed give a beautifull aspect.
Well done

Hi Henryk,

A great moody sunset thanks to the deserted tree-branches and the little hazy water surface and of course your artistic vision to eternalize this moment digitally for us.

Hi Henryk,
Excellent shot with impressive and beautiful colors, deepness, soft water texture, reflections, lighting, composition and POV. Driftwood on the beach is powerful for shot. Impressive shot indeed. I like very much. Congrats and TFS.
Emir Nedim

PS . I'll add to my favorites....

Hello Henryk,

This is a superb addition to your series on dunes and beaches. The composition and light management is nothing less than I would expect from you. The branch is a masterful stroke, a perfect focal point for the composition.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Mr. Bilor,
As always, a mystical touch in your landscapes... 8 seconds were enough for you to capture the ghosts in the sea. And as a still life, the tree is quite a depressing element in the whole.
Cheers,

Jolies couleurs du coucher de soleil sur cette mer,jolies couleurs des nuages, jolies plage avec cet branche d' arbres qui donne une bonne profondeur de champ a votre photo.

Hello Henryk,

The pink colour about the totally image make this picture extraordinarily.
Very well composition and the branch in foreground care for a little bit atmosphere.
very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

this is typical (and magical) henryk shot with soothing colours, uncluttered surroundings and the peaceful atmosphere. the branch works well, providing a point of interest and emphasizing the lonely feeling the shot gives.

magic land ...must be paradise far away from people :)

HI Henryk,
You did a good action with this branch - the other parts of the picture were nicely ready. I like the nice tones and the blurring water.
Great work.
Did you managed it without ND grad filter?
Cheers,
Miklós

Hello Henryk,
So now you're carrying branchs with you to compose photos? :) well at least you thrown it well as its position on the photo is perfect not too centered nor too to the side:)
The long exposure here helped you to create a nice effect in the sea and sky as we get a nice motion feeling from it.
Believe or not this branch is in my opinion to have this sense of loneliness and abandonment here.
As usual in your photos the colours and light are flawless.
Cheers.
Paulo

Hi Henryk,
Superb composition! Excellent colours, light and very good sharpness. I like it.

Hi Henryk
Beautiful landscape shot, I love all the soft colors blending together from foreground all the way into the horizon.

Hi Henryk, fascinating composition with wonderful light and fantastic colors, great exposure, very well done, ciao Silvio

A superb photograph, Henryk, that illustrates well the sort of effect that you can achieve by closing up the aperture and going for a longer exposure. The branch that you have thrown there really enchances the composition - as Bulent commented, I think that was your master stroke. Technical quality is faultless too. Cheers . . . David

Hi Henryk,
a great sunset image, the quality is perfect and you managed to find a great foreground motive with that branch. The long shutter speed of 8sec. also gave you a nice effect on the water. A great shot, a real beauty!

Witaj.

Czysta "poezja" w bajecznym wydaniu ... i to w Polsce. Tym zdjęciem dobitnie podkreślasz, iż nie trzeba wyjeżdżać z Polski by zrobić tak fantastyczne zdjęcie ... morskiej plaży.

Warsztat ... hmmmm ... tu się nie powinienem wypowiadać ... Choć jeśli mogę coś napisać to ... dla mnie jest to wzór do naśladowania, kopiowania, powielania etc., etc.

Ślę pozdrowienia.
