[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Following with the atmospheric shots enhanced by the PP wotk, here is a photos of 2 boats at low tide stuck in the mud while the fog coming seems wanting to cover them.
Seixal is a good place during winter to have lots of variations with the weather we can have sunshiny days, rainy but also this foogy days which are always good oppportunities to have something different from the usual takes with the bay.

Sorry for my lack of participation on TE these weeks but too much work forced me to interrupt a bit my posts.

Hi Paulo,
you captured a great atmosphere of the boats in the mud du to the very special light. It seems that one can even smell the mud! Great work!
Best regards
Harriet

Nice work on this one, although I find there is a little too much saturation on the boats,

Thanks,
Charles

Bonsoir Paulo
j'apprécie le travail en PP qui apporte une ambiance mystérieuse et presque inquiétante à cette image. Très belles touches de couleurs des deux bateaux; Bravo.
Xavier

As cores dos barcos e das bóias ficaram simplesmente fantásticas sobre a monotonia do lodo da maré baixa. Gosto também daquela ponta de terra a desaparecer num sítio indefinido de mar ou céu. É uma foto muito boa.
António

ola Paulo,
bonita foto que nos trouxe hoje. as cores dos barcos estão muito bem e combinam também muito bem com o nevoeiro.
parabéns

Bonjour Paulo,
des rouges et des bleus qui claquent dans cettes teintes plus glauques et ces lumières peu rassurantes.
J'adore les bouées rouges très lumineuses.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Ola Paulo,
Like your previous photo, this one has a really strange atmosphere, especially the acidic color gives a very irritting mood. But the birght, lively colors of the boats make a very nice contrast with the surrounding, and this increases the attractiveness even more. The red balls are shining like fluorescent lamps. Very catchy. :)
Cheers,
Deniz

Incredible mood. Photo in strong deep colours. Superb presentation.
Regards.

Espectacular, Paulo. Adoro o efeito surrealista lá atrás...o céu desapareceu, ou melhor, a água desapareceu e a lama está a levantar vôo... ;-) Os dois barquitos, coitados, ainda tentam manter a alegria com as suas cores vivas mas já não deve faltar muito para serem engolidos pela tempestade que se aproxima. Muito boa.
Um abraço,
ricardo

symbolic...
the mist in the background mixed with the flat surface of the water is the key to this photo...
bw, j.

Hello Paulo,
This is very beautiful composition even the place looks dark and strange...Especialy the colorful boats are very attractive with their contrast to the mud.Atmospheric for sure with a lot of sense of your usual photographic work!

Many wishes,
Thomas

hello Paulo,

Belle image colorée, je me demande si je n'aurais pas enlevée la partie de l'image avec l'eau en haut, pour en faire un panoramique.
Bonne soirée
marie

Paulo,
Amazing mood here !
I like a lot the soft blur and the tones... Superb result, congrats.
Regards,
JB.

Ola Paulo
Uma foto estranha mas de rara beleza. O jogos de luzes e o enquadramento estao perfeitos. Bonitas as cores
Um abraço e bom fim de semana
Aires

Olá Paulo,
bella composición, con una interesante mezcla de colores vivos en las barcas y las balizas y un ambiente de neblina al fondo de la imagen.
El resultado es atractivo y tiene fuerza, incluso diría que impacta un poco, y me gusta el efecto captado de la marea baja.
No te disculpes por tu baja participación aquí, esto es un bonito hobby, y por delante de nuestra pasión y afición por la fotografía está nuestra vida y nuestro trabajo.
Un abrazo, amigo mío,
Josep

Oi amigo ,
Uma foto bem dramática de grande beleza , estes dois barcos em primeiro plano ficaram fantásticos com as cores bem vivas a contrastarem com o nevoeiro denso , gostei da terra em curva a desaparecer no horizonte , parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Ola Paulo
Needless to state, but it's the contrast of the two strong colours with the mud which draws attention. But then, it's also the way you composed, with the boats in a diagonal. I do like the misty sea in the BG & the strange greenish hue. Good work Paulo!
Best regards
Angshu

Salut Paulo,
Beau résultat avec ces deux barques isolées à marée basse, le contraste de teinte avesur ce fond vaseux et monochrome fait un superbe effet, bien vu.

Hi Paulo. Work can be the curse of the amateur photographer! ;-) Wonderful photo. Nice mood and excellent composition with good depth and balance. Well captured and thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Hi Paulo
Interesting composition with the dark light. The boats seem to be a lanterns in a beach...;)
Regards

Bonjour,
Glad to findyour picture today, as i tried the same kind of PP with saturation a few days ago on two boats resting in a calm bay of New Caledonia under a rainy sky. I think you well succeeded due to clever composition of your shot. Just would have cropped a bit in the high part of the picture. Thanks for reading my kind of broken english.
