Photographer’s Note
Almonda River in Torres Novas. Those three geese were kind enough to stand there almost still in order to set my tripod and hold their breath for five seconds. Thanks to them.

Uma bonita (quase Blue Hour)a composição está muito bem vista e cheia de pormenores, ex dos patinhos em cima das plataformas.A luminosidade bem esgalhada.

Olá Paulo,
o efeito dessas lâmpadas de Sódio aqui ficou ótimo, pois deixou os objetos bem dourados. Gostei da calmaria também aqui, e do cotnraste, claro.
Parabéns e Abraço

Olá Paulo, como cheguei tarde ao concurso do teu último post decidi vir a este :) Gosto bastante desta atmosfera nocturna quase em tons sepia ao natural donde sobressaiem os tons azulados do barco. Vê-se que a composição foi cuidada e o detalhe dos 3 gansos é o pormenor que enriquece a foto. Os reflexos na água em redor dos bichocos também estão bonitos.

Hi Paulo,
Very romantic and artistic photo! Very well captured night scenery!
What about the whole post, I think it is fully completed, having the beautiful picture, informative and many-sided note with very useful camera settings data, and precise GPS information, which allows viewing a map of the place under consideration. Such careful approach to posting is a good exemplar for any TE user, including me. Looking at your posts I have provided all my TE shots with geographical coordinates to make my posts better.
Best regards,
Sergiy
