First of all, also you can see a black and white version of this very photo. Click here and you will see this version.

And well, some of my last pictures from Barcelona were taken in the beach one morning just when I had come back from Athens. About that flight... not pleasure, only work.
But well, I think I wouldn't mind work there... it could be a pleasure.


The photo was taken with tripod and I wanted to show the movement of the waves when they hit the sand of the beach. The light was the main point of the photo cause the warms colours of the photo.
And, I think, it is a nice idea. I prefer shot at this hour... the light is the best one and there is no people who disturbs you.

I hope you like it.

It is a very nice moody photo. What I really like is all the textures on the sand near the water. The slow speed created a nice motion sense. Well done.

No Carlos, it is not a painting, but it is a very pleasing photograph. I think you found just the perfect shutter speed to maintain the roll in the waves and the smoothness of the wash. Well done, TW

Bonjour Carlos
la longue pose est du plus bel effet ici. La texture de l'eau est superbe et les couleurs de cette image amènent une très belle ambiance. Beau travail.

Preciosa, Carlos, texturas y colores formidables, has conseguido un efecto-pintura bien resuelto, buen trabajo. Un saludo. Carme.

Hola tu.

Ahora toca Mallorca? Veo que la vida te trata bien.

A ver si haces alguna foto decente por allá porque últimamente...

Aleeeeeee

Hola Carlos, of course that the early morning light is the best for photography. And we can see that well here. Simple, almost minimalist image, but with an amazing motion effect of the water. Love that strange shadow effect on the sand. Beautiful. Only after that I see that there's something in the horizon, so very far away...
Un abrazo,
ricardo

Hola Carlos,
really it looks like an abstracting painting with these tints of colors and the burn of the scene in the upper part of it.I like and the B/W version too.Well done.

have a nice day,Danos

It is a masterpiece!

You chose the perfect shutter speed: any faster and the water would be frozen: any slower and the wave would be smoothed out. The signs of the water running back into the sea is a wonderful feature of the image. The pink tones of sunrise are beautiful. I think the same image would be good in blue light, but maybe it would be too dark for the appropriate shutter speed.

Hola Carlos:

Preciosa foto, las tonalidades del atardecer son ideales, aunque me hubiera gustado más la foto en horizontal que se viera más mar, más horizonte... yo ya creo que hubiese estado perfecta, para mi gusto, de todas formas como siempre muy bonita foto. Felicidades.

Un saludo,
Elena

Best regards

Pues a la verdad que si parece una pintura. Me encanta la sencillez de la composicion y el monocromatismo de la paleta de colores.

Espero que todo este bien por alla y que tengas mucho trabajo.
Un abrazo,
Enrique

Hola Carlos (de nuevo)!

Otra vez la larga exposicion ha funcionado perfectamente, y los colored calidos dan ese toque de magia! Claro, podria ser una obra de pintura, pero es una foto, y de las muy buenas!
Felicidades!

Un abrazo, Hercules

Bones Carlos,
donen ganes de tirar-s'hi de cap, és genial! el format vertical incideix més en la profunditat i la força de la fotografia.

Ens veiem, Jordi

Hola Carlos,
Me gusta mucho el efecto conseguido del agua con gran sensación de movimiento. El color rosado de la foto le da una atmósfera muy agradable.
Saludos,
Charo
