Excellent range of colours and good postproduction, maybe just a bit too strong colours for my taste,but the result is good, nevertheless.

Sim parece uma pintura Gonçalo.....gosto muito das nuvens poderosas e da luz tenue no campo criando essa linda atmosfera.

Um grande abraço.

Olá Gonçalo,
Talvez esteja um bocado fora do âmbito do TE, mas ainda bem que não foste pô-la no TL, pois nunca lá vou e gosto muito dela.
Imagino que o original estivesse "mesmo a pedir" um efeito impressionista, porque tem realmente aspecto de um quadro fabuloso.
Muito bem!
Um abraço, José.

Olá Gonçalo!
Concordo com o que o José falou a respeito de sua foto! Apesar de tudo ficou um efeito muit interessante, mas acredito que como opção você poderia ter colocado o original como WorkShop para podermos observar!
Parabéns e Abraço!

Parece mesmo uma pintura, Gonçalo, e o ruído ligeiro que "borra" um pouco as cores torna esse efeito ainda mais verossímil! Bom trabalho, amigo! Abraço! Miguel.

Lindas cores nessa excelente composição, Gonçalo. Parece realmente uma tela à óleo.

Extremely impressive landscape, the intense green fields with those lines, the dramatic sky (superb clouds !), the mountains on the foggy horizon, the black fir-trees. Beautiful compo and colors.

TFS,

Gonçalo, apesar de ter feito um bom trabalho juntando duas fotos, me pareceu que o verde do campo ficou um pouco artificial, assim como a passagem para o céu dando a impressão de fotomontagem.

Mas gosto da paisagem vista desse ponto mais alto.

Abraço
Andre

Olá gonçalo,
esta está mesmo muito bonita...parece de facto uma pintura.
Adoro os tons verdes da erva.
E esse céu cheio de nuvens está demais.
Gostei muito.
beijinhos
Teresa

Wow, this really does look like a painting, the sky and clouds are so good, and the sense of 'atmosphere' is so well presented. I like the panorama, and the way it seems to have 3 dimensions. Well done!

Bonjour Goncalo,
une galerie que je découvre seulement et je peux te dire franchement qu'elle me plait beaucoup.
Tu ne pouvais mieux choisir le titre pour nous proposer cette vue.
Vraiment des couleurs géniales et des lumières magiques.
Excellent cadrage.
Regards.
Daniel.

Olá Gonçalo,

As a part-time artist (full time professor of physics) I cannot let this image go without a comment. It is a beautiful landscape painting that the great Dutch Masters would have admired and envied. Superb panoramic composition, colors, perspective and sharpness,

Um abraço,

Bulent

Olá Gonçalo,
Não tenho tido (nem tenho hoje) tempo para apreciar todas as tuas fotos, mas esta mesmo na miniatura destaca-se. Está uma magnífica "pintura" realmente. Belo aproveitamento das nuvens e da luz.
Mesmo sem ler a localização eu podia adivinhar que é nos Açores. Adoro estas paisagens açorianas. (Infelizmente quando lá estive ainda não tinha câmara digital e a outra também não era grande coisa).

Hi Goncalo,
it is always a pleasure to look at the images in your amazing gallery and I think that you have one of the most fascinating portfolios here on TE. I have been in Ponta Delgada a long time ago and it is exciting to bring back lovely memories especially with this outstanding composition!
Warm regards
