Hi Goncalo,
Wonderful imaganationary deccisive moment capture of the mysterious silhoutted woman peering deep into the marvelous golden light as she reads the contents of her romantic letter to her dearest friend. The sentiments of the letter must come from some distant far off land that seperates her from her love.
Regards, Tom

Ola Goncalo,
un peu moins réussie que la précédente; elle n'en demaure pas moins un très belle carte postale douce et romantique dans des couleurs dorées.
Bien cadrée.
Bien amicalement.
Daniel.

Olá Gonçalo,
cores maravilhosas com um excelente POV. Desta vez o destaque fica para o rapaz, parecendo falar no celular (telemóvel) e com um "notebook" no colo.
Abraços,
Wagner.

Um lindo trabalho de gerenciamento de luzes aqui, amigo. A composição, com as formas escuras e o reflexo na água, está excelente.

Abraço

Olá Gonçalo,
difícil contraluz el que has captado aquí, me gusta el resultado de siluetas del paisaje y de la chica hablando por su móvil, en un ambiente de tonos dorados realmente magnífico.
Es un trabajo espectacular.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Olá Gonçalo, ¿qué sería de nosotros sin nuestros móviles? incluso en una escena tan artística,bella y mágica, hace su aparición las nuevas tecnologías, me encanta!!

Fantástico trabajo, con esa atmósfera cálida y dorada, parece que encontraste un tesoro!! La silueta de la chica al contraluz es excelente, creando un contraste muy interesante.
Te felicito por esta gran fotografía!

Parabéns, salut, Jordi

Olá Gonçalo,
Usaste muito bem a forma da baía, as cores e a posição e pose da menina para fazer uma bela compo. A exposição tb. está admirável, apesar da situação ser muito complicada. É daquelas imagens que nos faz imaginar histórias. O que me parece menos bem é a cabeça dela ter um fundo escuro, mas não estou a ver como evitavas isso.
Um abraço, José.

Stepan (27175) 2008-02-22 22:29

She must be speaking to her boyfriend and it makes the compo romantic, especially in that light... A good moment, well composed and captured.

What a contrast with the previous post! The interest here is on the subject - the silhoutted girl with the latter in her hand. Well composed with the diagonal of the pier in the FG contrasting well with the golden sunset colours. Good work!

Angshu
