Another photo from seaside city - Figueira da Foz.
These fishermen are used to fishing in the end of the day, just to relax and spend some time with friends. This is fantastic to see! ;)

I love that silver and golden colors on the sky... Do you like it?

Spoony.

Nice mood with these fisherman. The "silver and gold" in your picture are okay, some parts are maybe too bright.

Superbe ! Des couleurs bien douces, des pêcheurs dans l'ombre et les cannes qui fendent la mer ... Tout est réussi !

Carlos, cool man.!!!
I agree with you about the sky, in photoshop or a program like it, you might want to manipulate the picture abit. The sun,White, is to intense and takes away from the shot. Colors etc. adds a nice mood to your work. I'm a fisherman, fishing shots like this, one can appreciate what we have to go through as fisherman. LOL

Belle image , j'aime ce contre jouret pêcheur en ombre , un cadrage parfait et une photo bien composée .

It's becoming your signature scenery, Carlos. Very nice to see a closeup of the sunset fisherman; a very tranquil scene. The backlight is very strong, but except for the fact that it "blanks out" part of the fishing rods, the result is quite pleasing.

I love the golden colours. Beautiful silhoettes and shimmering water.
Very peaceful and harmonic shot.
The light is amazing.
The small things in life could be the most beautiful.
Great capture.

Eu adoro essas cores no céu, Carlos! Assim como a fotografia, que considero espectacular. Excelente composição!

I guess I must like this, because it quites reminds me of one of my own (see here). But at least yours is sharp. Nice catch, fisherman.

Very nice picture against the light with a beautiful framing of this fisherman and lovely colors... Also, becarful to your lens by pointing your camera on the sun...

Carlos...
Bonita, um momento decisivo e único que foi.

This reminds me of a place in Massachusetts that I have been striped bass fishing. Very well composed photo, with excellent colors. Good shot.

Beautiful sky ;-) Well done. Also good contrast effect!

Bye.

Splendid photo Carlos! All look so beautiful and tranquil (well, not from the fish's point of view I guess... :). The colors of the sunset are indeed magnificent!

not my favorite pic from you on the subject;-) nice sky though!

Very nice feeling! I dare to agree about the light and the reflection, though. But still, it is a very beautiful picture!

Nice shot here, it is a little bright, but still and very good pic, well done

Une très belle réalisation, un jeu d'ombre du beau travail.

This has that calm, solitude that I hear fishing brings some people. Just out there alone at the end of the day trying to catch that fish and just taking in thew view. Perhaps also thinking about life and just the world in general. The sky here is beautiful and the poles well placed in the composition to serve as a spring into the water and sky. The sliver of light leads the eye right back to the fisherman. The clouds offer a nice streaking feel, also, that frames the sun and adds to the focus of the line between the sun and fisherman. Nicely captured.

Bonjour Carlos, quelles belle réalisation, ce pêcheur en contre jour avec ces belles couleurs jolie composition. Bravo.
amitié.

Hi Carlos. Excellent light !! You are a master with this kind of light. You work with this light perfectly. I like very much also the composition in this one, the diagonal lines with the "cañas" (I don't know the name in english), the land, and the big light in the center. Really, very very well.

Lovely shot Carlos, don't know how I missed that the other day. Fine classic compo with the fisherman placed perfectly in the frame. A shame the reflected sun burnt out part of the rod, but a minor detail.

Another fine detail Carlos from the same place (I guess) as the one you had the other day. The fishing poles adds a good effect, and the placement of the guy is sure well made as a contrast to the field of white light. Very good

a fisherman who has chance well to profit from this light and this framing. A miraculous fishing

Hi Carlos,
I missed this serie!
The is my preferred one.
Nice silhouettes and diagonals.
I just do not like so much the burned area around the sun.

What a strong composition,nicely managed,a great playing with light you had,and result here is very fine,I like it,...lines,contrast,colors ,...all are great in this cobination of elements here,well done,Carlos,Congratulation.

Hi Carlos
Stunning silohette! Strong node for main sublect, great to have the repeat on the horison.

Hi Spoony! Very nice silhouette of a fisherman during a sunset. He sure is enjoying every moment of it! Love the colors of the waters, and I thought this is in B&W if not for the clouds. A very tranquil moment you've captured here! thanks for sharing. rgds.

Obviously you also know how to play with colors, Carlos... ;-)
This is a great scene, really. I tried to shot almost the same in Saint Tropez harbour, but I was less lucky than you with the result.
Congratulations !

Yes, the colors are marvelous. Actually, that is what caught my eye first. The sky is breathtaking and I love the silver trail of the son on the water. Very nice!

harika bir balıkçı silüeti. renkler çok güzel. tebrikler

Hola Carlos. Una gran composición. Has sabido esperar el momento y la posición del Sol hace que la foto sea bastante buena. Quizas en una posición más baja los colores habrían sido aún más suaves, pero con el Sol tan de frente habría sido más complicado sacar la foto. Un buen trabajo, felicidades.

Hola de nuevo
Excelente toma la de ese señor practicando la pesca al atardecer. Buena toma
Saludos

Como um bom pescador, não poderia deixar passar esta aqui! Ótima foto, Carlos! Bela silhueta com muita nitidez e detalhes. Os tons estão muito bonitos, assim como a luz. Você escolheu um excelente ângulo! O céu está magnífico! Bom trabalho!!

Hello Carlos,
I love the mood of your shot! I myself find fishing really relaxing so I can relate to the picture. I thought at first that the brightness of the sun and its reflection on the sea as a bit distracting, but overall, I think it wouldn't achieve the same mood had it been darker. Great job!
TFS.
Cheers,
Mayumi
