Hi Goncalo,

Dramatic contrast. captured in a supperb way

Hi Goncalo
Lovely golden light setting off the buildings perfectly against the sand which is already in the shade. The colour of the sky is unusal but very pretty and the clouds add lots of atmosphere.
Regards
Nikki

Urs (2409) 2009-06-29 16:44

Dear Goncalo

You have titled your picture very correctly, it looks very golden, the sunrise is painting this village very beautiful. The contrasts are excellent: the foreground still is in the shadows, while the village is in the full sunlight against the backdrop of the dark blue sky dotted with clouds. Well framed and executed with great DOF, sharpness and vivid colors. Well done

best regards
Urs

Muito bom Gonçalo.
Fica o destaque para o ótimo contraste de cores e luzes entre as construções da cidade e o céu. O primeiro bem dourado e o segundo de um azul magnífico.
Gostei também das pessoas caminhando descontraidamente na praia.
Grande abraço,
Wagner.

jplebrun (16522) 2009-06-30 4:50

Bonjour Goncalo
tu as admirablement bien profité de cette luminosité pour sortir une photo en or,;) de toute beauté ce village doré qui ressort à merveille dans ce ciel bleu. Bravo.
Amitiés
Jean-Pierre

belido (15997) 2009-06-30 9:11

Olá Gonçalo,

é uma imagem com aquelas características que são sua marca: as cores intensas do céu e o wb em seu ajuste warm. Uma bonita cena da arquitetura local capturada em ótimo momento. Parabéns!
Abraço,
Carlos

josepmarin (33571) 2009-06-30 9:16

Olá Gonçalo,
los tonos dorados muy cálidos creados por la luz del atardecer sobre la playa y las casas, tienen un contraste con el cielo azul con un resultado fantástico. La imagen tiene una gran fuerza cromática, y las nubes son un bello elemento decorativo en el cielo.
Bien compuesta.
Un abrazo,
Josep

COSTANTINO (22126) 2009-06-30 12:33

Hello
Fantastic shot with a fantastic title..Golden village which looks so nice like a light in the middle othe shot..Original version and clever idea..
regards
Costantino

feather (49848) 2009-06-30 12:43

Late and early light is definitely the best light, when it produces wonderful golden tones. I've been battling to get the tone correct in my own photos as if the WB is too warm the colour tends to be too yellow rather than golden. I tried a WS to reduce the yellow and still keep the gold. See what you think.

pierrefonds (25871) 2009-06-30 17:31

Hi Goncalo,

The point of view is showing the details and colors of the buildings. The picture is clear and sharp. The beach is framing well the buildings. The evening light has a good effect on the colors of the picture. Have a nice day.

Olá Gonçalo!
A cor dourada da luz do sol que se reflete nos edifícios foi muito bem capturada aqui e o seu resultado visual ficou magnífico contratando-se com os demais elementos dessa imagem (parte inferior e parte superior)! O céu aqui também ficou muito bonito!
Parabéns, abraços e até logo!

anducina (8062) 2009-07-02 14:46

Hi Goncalo,
Very nice scene--the lighted, golden buildings, the great dramatic sky, the special light, the texture of sand and rocks.
TFS,
Andreea

hispic (7399) 2009-07-02 20:10

Olá Goncalo,
Amazing colour indeed! the golden colour stands out further with the sunlight of the late afternoon. Luminous impression is also so nice.
Best wishes, Hisashi

jafadabret (38881) 2009-07-02 23:00

Bonjour Gonçalo.
La lumière du soir sur les maisons jaunes et le ciel bleu foncé font un mélange qui claque et qui se trouve du meilleur effet.
Le premier plan sombre donne de la profondeur de champ et met en valeur la partie bien sous la lumière qui suit.
Amicalement
Jacques

eversmile (5930) 2009-07-03 2:25

Hi Goncalo!

The light is fantastic here, and your composition, that focuses the attention on the village, between the sand and the sky, is strong. I like very much the contrasts of colors here.
Congratulations!
Regards
Marine

stego (22318) 2009-07-03 8:19

Olá Gonçalo,
Realmente uma das coisas que mais atrai aqui é a luz muito dourada, que até dá uns tons esverdeados ao céu e à nuvens.
Um abraço,
José

emilbo (9097) 2009-07-03 10:42
