[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Valencia is a sparkling city on the east Mediterranean coast of Spain. Just south of the city lies the Albufera, an inland lake separated from the sea by a spit of land. Here, in the marshy wetlands surrounding the lake, the Moors introduced the cultivation of rice more than a millennium ago. Here rice is grown today. This is the home of paella, Spain’s famous rice dish.

Very nice colors and reflections too ... Birds give life in your composition. Well done.

No conozco La albufera, pero viendo tus fotos está claro que he de ir a no faltar mucho tiempo. Me gusta la suavidad de los colores, la placidez del momento, lo bien que asumimos la inevitabilidad del tiempo a golpe de hermosos atardeceres. Gracias José, espero que te estés recuperando bien de las Fallas.

Hola, Jose. Esta serie sobre la Albufera es fantástica.
En esta foto además del maravilloso paisaje tranquilo y ese atardecer impresionante reflejado en el agua, hay vida, los pajaros llenan de vida esta imagen fantástica que casi parece un cuadro. Una composición de impresionante belleza, amigo.
Saludos.

En tu foto tampoco falta esa atmósfera especial y única de l'Albufera. Has captado unos tonos suaves bien acompańados por los pájaros a distintas distancias. La textura del agua impresiona.
Buen trabajo.

Just beautiful, now the birds are closer, this is the best one from the Albufera yet.

Well timed capture Jose, good colour and atmosphere, well done.

Hi Jose

A superb sunset, with excellent silhouettes of the birds. I would increase saturation & red about 10% each. You lose a bit of color when uploading. Beunos!
