Angler from Figueira Photo

Photographer’s Note

Atlantic Ocean, city of Figueira da Foz. In Figueira da Foz, the wide and blue sea has the mystery stories with names of fishes. And there are the round shaped dunes. And there are cliffs with strange forms given by the winds. From the sea we receive the secrets of other lands: there are sepia and blue-coloured Delft china tiles perhaps unloaded from a shipwreck, back in the days when the oceans seemed to be infinitely more mysterious and far-reaching.

o, to jest bardzo ciekawe...dobre wrażenie robi ta bryza "zamglając" scenerie i tworząc taką przedziwną atmosferę "przygnębienia"...niweleikei ławice piasku świadczą, iż nie jest to okres plażowania (co nota bene podkreśla odzież wędkujacego)...

Czesc,
ladnie to wyglada, nawet troche dramatycznie, fajnie, ¿e sa dodatkowe elementy na horyzoncie. Woda niczym snieg na lodzie.

Hello Mikolaj,
I like this minimalist composition of the lone angler in the surf, whose rod is mimicked by the crane derrick in the background. Excellent soft light and colours make a good background for the almost silhouetted figure. Very good photo work.

Hello Mikolaj,
From the thumbnail I got the idea this is about snow, hehehe!
A fine composition, where the few elements work well together in telling the story...
Well seen, well done!

A tu ciekawie. Tak, ocean jest bardzo piêkny. Choæ powiem szczerze, ¿e ten w Moroku bardziej podoba³ mi siê ni¿ portugalski. Choæ oczywi¶cie to ten sam. Tam w Afryce by³o jako¶ bardziej dziko.

Witaj Mikołaju,

Ładny widok, wygląda nawet jak zimowy, a tam przecież nie ma zimy. Piasek ma taki dziwny kolor. I larttarnia na horyzoncie. Ładne zdjęcie.

Olá meu amigo,

Long time I "didn't" see you!... I've been a bit out... lot's of work.

Anyway, nice to read you and to take a look in your most recent pictures... this one is mystic! I like fog. I like the Atlantic; and sea food! ;)

Saúde,
Pedro

Hi Mikolaj
This is different. I like the minimalist, dramatic aspects. Also the silhouetted fisherman, perfectly posed

Hi Mikolaj,
A very elegant composition with the paralell lines of the rod and the crane. Very fine colours!

Hello Mikolaj,
At the first glance it looks like the man is fishing in a snowstorm, then the picture develops before my eyes. You have captured the colours and the haze perfectly, making the picture look a bit like a painting by Turner.
Best wishes,
Gert

To sie nazywa klasa sama w sobie!
Piekne zdjecie, ktore nie powala kolorystyka ale wspanialym nastrojem pustki i samotnosci.
Strzal w dziesiatke!

Hi Mikolaj,

Very beautiful shot, I loved all he shades of white. A truly inspiring creation. The distance shoreline gets mixed up with ky beautifully.
Lovely work.
Regards,

Hemant

Czesc Mikolaj,
Alez natura, pustka i piekno.
Tylko ten dzwig daje wrazenie, ze jednak nie jest sie samemu.
Piekne zdjecie.
Pozdrawiam - Cezary

guitianmiranda (3598) 2008-10-05 5:07

Interesting composition. I like the contrast of the fisherman in calm just doing his own things in this tempest ocean.

Best regards.
