Sailing away Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is where the Tagus River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Sailing has allways fascinated me. I have allways wondered what one must feel when traveling only with the forces of nature, the power of the wind. Then I have to think about all the places you can go, all the people you can meet.

It´s a very nice picture Miguel, but I think there´s a little bit too much sky. Otherwise it´s a very beautiful b&w picture!
well done! :)

Superb photo Miguel! I like shots taken in front of the sun. B&W is brave, but perfect choice.
Good job! Congratulations.

Great shot Miguel, you got me longing for summer. The bright reflections in the sea really create a summery atmosphere. The composition is great: the placement of the boat and the proportions between sea and water are really good. The clouds also work well here, a clear sky wouldn't be as nice I think. B&W is also good.

Hi Miguel,

That is an amazing photo. Amazing. Similar lighting with a surfer on a wave and it would be the perfect shot.
Cheers

Superbe image, and very good idea to have done in B & W, you are not distracted by a more contrasted color. The sail boat is at the exact right plae with the sun.I can feel the blue sky that appears wintin the clouds.

Perfect composition

Mais uma grande foto Miguel. Se fosse eu a tira-la, acho que a queimava toda. O alinhamento do sol com o barco está espetacular.

Well done

Lovely Miguel. The boat look so lonely with all that sky. The light in the sky and the reflection in the water adds a very romantic touch to the composition. It is like poetry.

Très belle composition... Un ciel bien structuré, le voilier dans l'emplacement idéal, une belle idée d'immensité sur l'eau.
J'aime beaucoup malgré le léger aspect cramé par endroits, mais difficile de faire autrement.

Foto muito bonita adorei a forma e o conteúdo. Um abraço e parabéns.

I love the light and the clouds, as well as your choice of black and white. The sailing boat looks so tiny in comparison to the nature surrounding it. Great job Miguel!
