Olá amigo,

legal você ter postado essa versão colorida da mesma cena. A atmosfera é completamente diferente. Gostei da saturação e brilho da imagem. Só tome cuidado para os adminitradores não apagarem. Isso aconteceu com o Cretence algum tempo atrás. Ele ficou bem chateado. Mas parabéns!
Abraço,
Carlos

Ciao Goncalo,
great sharpness and contrast in a very good balance of light and natural colors.
Your note give an interesting idea of what we're looking at. If I just look at your picture I see an arcadic landscape of green and water and a kind of relaxing patio that seems to belong to a villa more than to a plant. It reminds me of what we lsoe everyday more: the common respect for beautiful things. It has been a time when businessmen regarded art and beautiful thing something to promote to have good advertising effect and a public dignified image of themseves. Nothing similar happens today. And it's a pity!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful image
Laura

Vejo que colocaste agora a versão a cores da outra com o infravermelho. Para mim, esta é muito mais bonita pois aqui não se perdem os verdes à superficie da água. Muito bem.
António

adores (15769) 2008-07-04 14:40

Alô Gonçalo!
Estiveste lá menos tempo, mas trabalhaste:)!!Uma composição muito bonita, acho que captaste bem a beleza do local. Gosto especialmente do verde da água. Boa luz e cores!

lucasgalodoido (16789) 2008-07-04 15:39

Olá Gonçalo,
essa imagem me passou a impressão de um local abandonado, principalmente por causa dessa água suja, se fosse aqui no Brasil seria considerada um depósito de mosquitos e doenças, como a dengue por exemplo... Mesmo assim uma foto bonita.
Parabéns e Abraço
:) amanhã

Scharan (13955) 2008-07-04 17:12

anducina (8135) 2008-07-06 12:15

Hi Goncalo,
Beautiful compo in white, blue and green, I like the white buildings and the sky, but what I like best is the green water with the velvety texture of the water plants...Well captured.

TFS,
Andreea

Hey,
Nice shot by the pool - and its full of activity and interest as one looks around the frame.

Nice architecture in this region, well shot.

Your note gives the idea of what we're looking at, otherwise it would have been a picture of another villa. The wall with handrail together with the reflection care for a nice image.
Excellent composition with perfect perspective and real colours.
