Two ducks in a dock Photo

Photographer’s Note

One more sunset photo... I love this kind of pics! Are always agreable to see.

In this one I try to capture all the environment that I saw in that moment. Lots of boat masts, water reflexions, two ducks, sky colors... I hope you like my vision!

Spoony.

Yes, great one Carlos! So many boats, tall masts and two charming silhouettes of ducks! Love the sky - emanates gorgeous beauty. Ok, the bright sun path...But as far as I still don't know how to avoid it, I have no right to say anything about it!;-))
Great one!

I like this non-classical picture of boats getting ready for the sunset. You or your eyes must have had a reason to leave the strong water reflexions be part of it. The white spot in the water seems to prevent that something unusual is going to happen.

A great moody shot.
Nice brownish colour and fine silhouettes of the masts, also the two ducks indeed, but the light, Carlos, is very bright...
However the light, as said, moody !

Nice scene Carlos and good capture of the ducks, I like the beautiful sky and the mast, good presentation, well done.

A very beautiful shot, Carlos. The sun glistening on the water and the tall masts stretching across the frame are both excellent. Very well seen and captured.

Beautiful reflection and sunset scene again, Carlos. The masts are so delicate and beautiful standing tall against the sky. They connect the two parts of the scene perfectly, also. I think you have captured the scene nicely, even if I haven't actually seen it in person. Looks great. Nice job.

Everything in this image is great apart from the highlight on the ocean, which I would try to burn in a little. Perhaps a polarizing filter next time? Apart from that, it's fantastic. Parabens!

Another nice contribution in your 'sunset' series Carlos. Again effectful use of light and colours. Of course the inclusion of the two ducks is a charming inclusion in front of all the large boats and their masts in behind. Very good job.

Gosto bastante do céu.As cores estao excelentes e o contraste entre elas também.Ambiente bastante romântico e calmo.Gosto do reflexo do sol na água.Gosto do contraste entre o céu e as silhuetas pretas dos barcos.

Hi Carlos, this is a wonderful sequel to y'r Silver Sky picture. I love the silhouetted forrest of masts against the again wonderfully rendered evening sky. The ducks in the fore ground work fine thru this y'r pics is far more then the ordinary sunsep pic, it's very evocative, great!

Carlos, behind ground with this boat the masts against the sky are beautiful, the sky reflects the natural colours, perhaps light the jet in water is a little too violent, but you composition is very great, and thanks for visiting my photograph.

Oh - I missed this one - I like the atmosphere you got on this shot - the wood of mast and the reflections makes the shot together with the ducks - Yes the sky and golden/black photo surely two points worth. Thanks Carlos.

This reminds me of a photo I took some days ago - may be I should post it after all :-)

You really do like shooting against the sun. And you do it well. I envy you for living so close to the sea every day. I can almost smell the salty air on your photo.

I like all this vertical lines of the masts and a dary counterlight shot with all the reflection in the water with the pleasant two ducks in a corner as a finishing point. Well done Carlos.
