Hello Goncalo,
I like the way we peer through the cactus type plants to view the lighthouse.The colours in the sky are something special and give lots of drama to this place.Are they as seen or did you use a filter?
best regards,
Bev

Hello Goncalo,
Wonderful composition, lovely light and colors, very good clarity and sharpness, beautiful atmosphere, You use the tobacco filter with an excellent way, TfS!
Have a nice day, Vasilis.

kato (6725) 2012-05-11 1:29

Hello Goncalo,

You're capturing well this landscape by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the white lighthouse with elegant style, surrounding greenery and the sky dyed to sunset. It's effective for the sea which looks faint, too. And, the big green plant arranged at the lower right draws out a strong impact in this image.
Have a nice day.

Kind regards,
mikio

Royaldevon (17713) 2012-05-11 2:47

Ola Dear Goncalo,

I love the way the cacti hold the f/g, linking well across the frame, and leading, in a zigzag sort of way, to the focal lighthouse. The tobacco filter has created that 'out of this world' impression, which suits the lighthouse well.

Have a gtreat day,
Bev :-)

Ola Goncalo,
Same great sky and a perfect artistic POV. Well taken, have a nice weekend.

Ola, Goncalo,
I like this your series with the orange sky, impressive effect of the filter. Unusual view, fine comopsition.
Best wishes,
Serghei

abmdsudi (26199) 2012-05-11 7:30

Hi Goncalo
Another shot from same location but still exciting to see from diff perspective. The foreground ensures the eyes to focus without pulling away form the prominent subject in the distance. Bits of splashing in the sky in tobacco color adds another attractive dimension. Well done
Best regards

Budapestman (82620) 2012-05-11 14:40

Another good photo for your tobacco filter collection. The cactus provides a good anchor for the rest of the photo. The lighthouse is an excellent subject and the clouds look amazing. A beautifully composed photo, parabens.

pierrefonds (48285) 2012-05-12 4:28

Hi Goncalo,

The distance between the plants and the lighthouse ius giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the lighthouse. Using a gradual tobacco filter has a special effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Olá, amigo Gonçalo,
bonita combinación gráfica del edificio del faro, que se destaca al fondo sobre un cielo muy bonito gracias al filtro tabaco, y los cactus que dominan el primer plano, añadiendo un buen contraste cromático de los tonos verdes con el resto de la imagen.
La composición es eficaz y tiene un buen atractivo a la vista.
Um abraço,
Josep

How to create a wonderful landscape with the normal things of everyday. A POW well studied and a sky wonderfully "colored" by the filter.
Ciao,

Great colors, excellent composition. The "burning" sky with the light reflections on the ground are marvelous. Perfect viewpoins. Well done Goncalo.
