Photographer’s Note

Tenerife is a sub-tropical paradise that offers something for everyone. The island is dominated by the now dormant volcano "Mount Teide", which at 12,000ft is the highest mountain in Spain. To the south, the ever popular resorts of Playa de Las Americas and Los Cristianos are basked in year round sunshine.
Island of Eternal Springtime
Tenerife is the largest island of the archipelago. There are most varied landscapes: a mountain range with the mighty volcanic crater Cañadas del Teide, with a diameter of 20 kilometers, and the 3.718 meters high Teide in its center; extremely fertile valleys with important cultures of bananas and tomatoes; and a seaside offering as well beautiful steep coasts as wide beaches of fine sand.

Bellissima foto!!!
Il cielo sembra dipinto tanto sono belle le sfumature, bei colori caldi, e i gabbiani sono ben nitidi, ripresi benissimo!
Mi piace tanto!

Nice sunset with the water and clouds making for some interesting contrast. Too bad those birds aren't in focus. Your picture is nice, although it doesn't show anything of what you talked about in your note.

Great timing getting these birds arranged so well against the sun. A slight quibble is that, ofr this shot, I find the sun a little too centrally placed.

What i like in your pic is the fact that those 2 flying birds leads to the sun, one is out of focus,but it doesn't matter. The sunset is quite nice too with beautiful effects with clouds. I would have crop a bit water at the bottom to enhance the perspective leading by birds going to the sun (see WS).

Bellisimo calar del sole con la ciliegina dei gabbiani.
Il primo gabbiano non e' molto a fuoco ma credo che sia praticamente impossibile pretenderlo.

Yes its a dramatic sunset, but what I like here i the timing of the shot and the gleam you caught on the wings of the bird on the right. That is the highlight in this shot for me.

Brilliant picture, you did well to capture the seagulls, they are perfectly placed.

Wow!!. Belissimo trabalho Paolo. Otimo momento, as cores estão otimas, e o foco evidenciando a distancia entre os passaros ficou muito bonito. E uma imagem muito poetica e relaxante. Saudações.

I like the composition on this vivid color of sunset. The angle brought by 2 birds really gives the big impact to the overall picture. Very Beautiful!! Good catch.
