Hi Filipe! I believe that has success the blue hour a lot fullstop! Impresses the composition with the reflections and the symmetry a very good idea,
congratulations
Georgios

Dear Filipe,
As we understand, photography is painting by eyes.And in that, a sky left blank is like leaving the canvas blank and unpainted. After seeing your picture i give myself an exception to this rule. That there is beauty in blankness.Its the way we look at it.
Great picture indeed. If the right hand down corner rocks could have been avoided, it would have been a Dichotomous Composition.(Dividing the frame into two horizontally from centre).

jjcordier (24674) 2009-02-16 7:49

Filipe
Une belle heure bleue (très bleue même) à la composition dépouillée mais particulièrement efficace. Belle réalisation!
Amicalement

Hi Filipe,
what I like here, besides the lamplights long reflections is how the colors of the sky and the sea are almost the same. A nice blue hour shot.

Philippe

avene (11014) 2009-02-16 8:24

hello Filipe,
the white letters in the lower left corner are a bit distracting, but that's a personal preference. I like a lot this minimalistic shot, the intense blue with pink accents look very good. I wonder if it was possible to shift the camera a little to the left to avoid the rocks in the lower right corner, I think without them the minimalism would be even more pronounced. still, great shot, I like it.

best,
Kristine

I love the beautiful colors of this image and the exposure is well balanced, the only issue I see in this image is that your horizon splits the image in half. You can either crop it so that your horizon is 1/3 in the bottom or 1/3 at the top. This would have a more intersting effect.
Congratulation on a wonderful image!

Cricri (43100) 2009-02-16 9:22

Hola Filipe
Trés jolie cette image a l'heure bleu avec les reflets qui donne un contraste trés joli et bien agréable a regarder
Friendship

besnard (30676) 2009-02-16 9:35

Bonsoir Filipe
Un joli cliché avec les lumières rouges qui donnent de la diversité à toute cette immensité bleue. C'est du bon travail.
Merci our le partage et bonne soirée.
Nicole

Emile (19995) 2009-02-16 9:51

Hola Filipe.
Wonderful blue tones and very good shot taken during the blue hour. Great reflection.
TFS.
Best regards.

Morac (20447) 2009-02-16 10:54

Bonsoir Filipe,

C'est une composition simple mais belle et efficace avec ces lampes rouges et ce ciel et cette mer uniformément bleu.
Où commence le ciel, où commence la mer ?
Beau travail
Marc

jplebrun (16986) 2009-02-16 13:49

Bonsoir Filipe
magnifique cliché de l'heure bleu dans cette magnifique baie avec ces lumières qui reflètent dans l'eau.

P.S. a cet endroit tu die qu'il fait 18c tandis qu'ici ce matin il faisait -18c

Hi Filipe, what a beautiful Blue Hour !
And a lovely game with the lights !
TFS !
David

Charo (31671) 2009-02-16 14:54

Ola Filipe,
Um azul intenso e belo, em contraste com a luz rosa fundo. Talvez a definição não é o ideal, mas é uma imagem muito atraente.
Um abraço,
Charo

alftrek (2799) 2009-02-16 20:58

Hello Filipe,

A superb blue hour shot of the Bay, the blue sky is wonderfully reflected on the water as well, and the lines of reflection of the lights make a huge difference to this simple and effective composition. Well done, I like it.

Cheers
Alfred

riclopes (33003) 2009-02-17 1:03

isto está bem bonito, Filipe. Uma imagem poética em tons de azul lindíssimos. O sharpness não parece a 100% mas se calhar é normal para os 15s. O que conta é a atmosfera que captaste e essa está fabulosa.
um abraço,
ricardo
p.s.- sempre dei um salto ao cabo da roca neste dia e por coincidência encontrei o Aires... ;-)

syrus_persia (2164) 2009-02-17 3:15

Salam Filipe
Fantastic light and fantatsic place.
I love the way you have composed this lovely one.
Thanks
cyrus

ChrisJ (70271) 2009-02-17 4:06

Ola Filipe

Striking warm vs cold colour contrasts, between the intense blue, & the repetitive, red lights, with superb reflections, & good sharpness. Tfs!

jlbrthnn (38011) 2009-02-17 4:30

Bom-dia Filipe,
Sou deleitada de ver um resumo da cidade de Setubal onde fui em 1972 aquando de uma viagem à Portugal. Separa-se o azul do céu e o mar apenas graças à linha de horizonte e das luzes. Uma boa ideia posta bem em imagem. Bravo.
Passa um bom dia.
Cordialmente
Joël

TeresaT (10733) 2009-02-17 4:30

Olá Filipe,
Fantástico este final de dia em Alcochete.
Este azul que domina toda a composição está um espectáculo.
E os reflexos das luzes na água criam um efeito gráfico muito interessante.
Fianlemtne podemos ir para a rua fotografar(já não aguntava mais tanta chuva).
Um abraço,

Teresa Travassos

Juntas (3265) 2009-02-17 6:33

Olá Filipe. Azul e azul são as minhas duas cores preferidas. Boa blue hour com um pov interessante. Boa cor e reflexos bonitos. O único senão é a composição centrada sem motivo (na minha opinião) por isso eu cortaria metade daquele céu. Nada disso no entanto desmerece a foto sendo apenas uma questão de gosto pessoal. Bom trabalho, um abraço. Paulo

ALIRIZA (16197) 2009-02-17 6:52

Hi Filipe,
Red in blue, marvelous. I like the beautiful colours of this image, reflectios and the exposure. Well done...
Friendly regards...

Gerrit (35733) 2009-02-17 6:53

Hi Felipe,.
beautiful blue hour photo.
The color of the sea is great and i love those gondola-like boats and those long reflected lights.
Regards, Gerrit

papagolf21 (56421) 2009-02-17 11:23

Bonjour, cher Filipe,
Pour l'heure bleue, c'est l'heure bleu, tout est bleu ! Une composition très réussie. Un moment fugace parfaitement maîtrisé.
Félicitations pour cette réussite.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Clementi (44131) 2009-02-17 13:30

Ciao Filipe,
una splendida ora blu dove l'azzurro e' diviso solamente da quelle splendide luci del paesino, ottima gestione della luce e lavoro perfetto.
Giorgio

tempocativo (439) 2009-02-17 14:57

Olá Filipe, simplesmente bela estas cores. Mui interessante o reflexo produzido na água por entre os barcos. Belo olhar. Parabéns

stego (22352) 2009-02-17 16:50

Olá Filipe,
Mais que uma hora azul, é uma hora azulona! E cor-de-rosa! Está absolutamente fantástica! Os 15 segundos tornaram a superfície da água e o céu incrivelmente suaves. Está realmente de sonho!
Um abraço, José.

zeca (20026) 2009-02-17 17:37

Oi Filipe!
A nitidez talvez pudesse ser um pouco melhor com um tripé, que eu mesmo nunca carrego. Mas esta imensidão azul é simplesmente estonteante e enche os olhos! Muito bonita!
Abraço,
Zeca

jhm (82577) 2009-02-18 4:06

Hello Filipe,

15 Seconds this is very long, you show us a very nice picture of the blue hour.

This is like living a dream. its smooth and regulated with such panache and class. the saturated rich hues are great

feather (49860) 2009-02-19 6:01

Beautiful minimalist image with only two colours. The tone of pink from the lights is an excellent complement to the blue. I envy your temperature. Here it is a mild 8°C

Hi Filipe,
The lovely yellow lights of the chrming harbor town blend beautifully on the glassy blue sea and vivid sky.
Very tranquil scene with wonderful clarity and textures.
The traditional fishing vessels looks very peaceful.

jrj (34779) 2009-03-02 2:27

A moody setting in the overall blue of the day Filipe. Maybe a more offcentered placement of the horizon line had worked as well here..

delkoo (34296) 2009-03-03 4:05

hi filipe
what an awesome shot! Great reflections...and such a beautiful scenary.
Well done,

Fantastic blue indeed! subtle tone of the sky, wavering reflection on the water by the long exposure, and the composition devided at center is also very nice.
Have a nice weekend, Hisashi

Bela imagem ao lusco-fusco, especialmente com o reflexo das luzes. Talvez eu cortasse um pouco em baixo, ou desse mais um pouco de céu.
