Isto parecia mesmo uma pintura (até na miniatura). Afinal é uma reflexão! Espectacular. Uma das fotos de reflexões mais interessantes que já vi.
Um abraço,

uma maneira muito interessante de mostrar essa construção, pela miniatura pensei que fosse um retrato de uma obra de arte. Belo trabalho amigo.

Gonçalo Lopes (homem rico em arte), recriou o Chalet Barros, no Estoril. Aproveitando as águas espelhadas, a obra foi construída num estilo pitoresco original.
Parabéns!

Very colorful contrast.

TFS, bill

Felip (3905) 2008-03-17 3:36

Ok Gonçalo, this time you have beaten me!
I understand that your pict is some kind of reflection, but no idea about how did you manage to achieve it...It's amazing! ;)
Gooood job, my friend!

Hello Gonçalo,
Vraiment un très beau jeu de réflexion de ce petit château dans cette marre,
Avec en plus un enrichissement des couleurs avec la mousse verte,
Très belle image !
Amicalement et à bientôt,
Robert

Cormac (26447) 2008-03-17 12:58

Great reflection! The slightly distorted view is very interesting, because we can recognize what it is, but we can also see a different view of reality - an interesting twist. Well done!

clio (22340) 2008-03-17 13:18

Hola Goncalo
Este reflexo tem realmente muito bonitas cores e o assunto é muito original: um castelo medievale, construído em 1894 que se olha num charco de água...! não se vê aquilo todos os dias! Fizeste muito um bom trabalho com a cor.
Parabéns e Abraço!
Diane

pboehringer (770) 2008-03-17 14:05

Goncalo,
as a dedicated amateur photographer we have to go through the world with open eyes for every single imaginable angle of view. Looking down and seeing the potential of reflections through the puddle paid off nicely. Great image with the impression of a painting in expressionistic style.
Peter

Niezly efekt artystyczny. Bardzo malarskie to foto. Bajkowe kolory robia klimat zdjecia.

Gonçalo,
Estou aqui viajando e dei uma parada para ver fotos de amigos. Ao me deparar com essa sua, me perguntei se ´fui eu que bebí uma caipirinha a mais ou se foi você ... De qualquer forma o grafismo está absolutamente interessante, com belo ajuste de cores.

Abração

Paulo

stego (22322) 2008-03-18 15:39

Olá Gonçalo,
Cheguei a pensar que era um pintura! Muito bem vista e fotografada! Tem mesmo ar de castelo encantado.

Ola Goncalo
A fine reflection presented downside up in saturated colours...the red, the green, the yellow & the blue. A very interesting architecture style as well of the chalet. This is almost like a painting. Good work!
Regards
Angshu

markstaples (15670) 2008-03-22 4:19

Nice lighting in this shot and the reflection has produced quite a graphical shot. Nice idea.
Best wishes

Oi Gonçalo!
Eu andei perdendo algumas de suas publicações, como esta beleza aqui, onde o reflexo mostra na íntegra este belo Chalet Barros. As diferentes texturas sobrepostas são belíssimas e acrescentam detalhes magníficos. Uma linda realização!
Abraço,
Zeca

danyy (67924) 2008-04-02 15:06

Ola Goncalo,
belle prouesse ici, j'apprécie comme il possible des fois de présenter un sujet avec un oeil si personnel comme au travers de reflets par exemples.
Des couleurs séduisantes pour cette photo peinture.

Daniel.
