Photographer’s Note
Click here or on the image to see the large version.
Another one of the area of Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe and one of the most scenic stretches of the coast near Lisboa.
It was taken on the same day of these [1, 2, 3], North of the cabo (cape) proper.
It is a stitch of 3 shots.
The WS's were taken from the same POV. The #1 is a zoomed view of the rocks of the bottom and the #2 is the wider view I could get with the zoom I had.

Ola Jose,
Must be very nice to live by the sea. I am so far away from it that for me images like this one evoke a sense of peace and dreams. The view down the water is excellent. The details and the soft tones of the images are also pleasant. I can just imagine having a cottage right here :-)

Olá José,
Tá aí um lugar muito fotogênico, em boas mãos de fotógrafo, claro.
A cor prateada da água é encantadora, assim como as florinhas.
A versão grande dá um impacto visual importante, com grande presença.

I see a slight blue magenta colour cast of about 5% on my monitor. To remove it just add %5 green & %5 yellow. Good high pov here, with excellent sharpness, in this superb seascape. Tfs!

Ola José,
I looked to your WS, I prefer "Zoomed view" as most beautiful picture, good of quality and presentation.
Sharpness and clarity are superb.
Very well colour and composition. TFS.
Have a nice day,
John.

Jose, impressive place for sure and the stitch shows off the awesome detail you have captured. I am completely enamored with all aspects of the sea from the tall ship down to these dramatic land/sea scapes. Great colors and composition in all threee of the shots, great work.

José,
En version large on a l'impression de sentir le vent du large... Une belle et agréable vue panoramique sur ce littoral sculpté par l'océan. Le premier plan fleuri apporte un touche de couleur sympathique. Attention au faux pas ici car difficile d'arrêter la glissade jusqu'en bas !!! J'aime beaucoup aussi ton point de vue #1 en WS où l'harmonie des couleurs est plaisante. Merci José.
Avec mes amitiés et à bientôt,
Jean-Charles

If it wasn't for the large version I would prefer WS2 for the closer detail, but agree the inclusion of the hill on the left adds much to the composition. The detail of the wild flowers and the churning sea in the large version are fantastic. I'm sure I have been here eons ago, but can't remember the details. We stayed at Estoril and visited the most western point of Europe, but that's all I remember.
As usual the stitch is impeccable. Do you still stitch manually?

I love the deep vastness of the image .. in combination with the power of the sea and stone .. set off by the gentle near flowers .. there must be quite a wind in this place .. very nice .. take care, John

Olá José,
Uma foto bem feita, com boas proporções de primeiro plano à esquerda, água com espuma e as rochas mais ao fundo.
Gosto muito do WS#1, com o rebordo de flores em primeiro plano.
Agora devo acrescentar que já estou a ficar farto do Cabo da Roca. Não necessariamente só com tuas fotos, mas sim em geral. A zona dá belas oportunidades fotográficas e tem algum significado psicológico (nós sempre gostamos do mais isto e mais aquilo), mas acho que já vi uma boa dose de imagens do Cabo da Roca. Está tornando-se difícl ser surpreendido. Por exemplo esta foto: está bem feita, a vista é bonita, falta-lhe algo para ser especial (mas eu não faria melhor!). Por outro lado, esta vista tanto pode ser no Cabo da Roca como em muitos outros litorais (mas esta afirmação aplica-se a muitíssimas outras fotos, incluindo minhas, claro).
Bom, já me alonguei demais.
Cumprimentos,
Francisco

Olá José,
uma bonita e interessante panorâmica dessa Roça, gostei do morro que leva a praia e das flores na vegetação. Belo trabalho.

Olà Jose!
Excellente composition en grand panoramique et magnifique bord de mer avec les rochers à droite et la végétation ornée de petite fleurs à gauche. Les vagues sont intéressantes et ajoutent de l'intérêt à la photo. Beau travail mon ami.
Félicitations!... et bonne journée,

Salut José
Contre jour intéressant à lumière incidente.
Une vue magnifique qui plonge dans le vide, cela me donne la sensation de plonger dans le décor.
La vue élargie est saisissante.
Amitiés

Olá José,
This an impressive panorama as same the quality of its stitch. I liked splendid contrasts between green-sea-cliffs and higher point of view while white foamed, wide weaves on shore are eye catching. Have a nice weekend.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Bonjour Jose!
Une très belle image qui me rappelle les bons souvenirs de notre voyage au Portugal en 1986, et où nous avions visité ce magnifique endroit!
La photo est excellente avec la colline fleurie en 1er plan et les vagues blanches venant s'échouer dans la crique du bas!
Merci du partage!
Amicalement.
Marie Louise.

Hola José, el Cabo da Roca es un lugar especial, su faro, los acantilados, la fuerza del océano y sobre todo, que está en Portugal, lo hacen una maravilla que hay que visitar.
Un saludo.
