Hi Serp2000.thanks for shooting the sunset at this moment.i like the line of breaking waves which are showing high contrast to other parts of the photo.
the green stain is a little annoying,i think is due to using "uv" filter causing the moire effect.
i suggest you to remove any additional filters while shooting sunset and sunrise.
could you have waited more to have the child in a better point of photo?
again thanks
good luck.

Hello Serghei,

What you also did with PP or more colours your picture is very pleasant for look at, the composition, light and shadows are spectacular, producing vivid colors and high resolution.
Excellent picture the colours are wonderful and details are good to.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

hi Serghei,
the only suggestion I have about this photo is to clone away the green circle of glare in the very center of the shot, it is a little distracting. other than that I like a lot this golden moment, the water looks like a sheet of metal, and the black silhouette of the person adds a good focal point. for even more minimalistic composition I'd crop from above and remove boats, but that's a personal preference.

best,
Kristine

Hello Serghei,

The waves that are rolling in really makes this scene!
The golden shimmering water is an amazing element, combining so well with the three boats and the single person on the shore...
Simplicity rules and very well done!

I believe this is the bottom half of the previous one, and I'm glad you posted this. The sea area is very attractive in those curves and tones all over, and the passing person definitely gives the mood. Maybe too tight on top, but it's possible to live with it. On the other hand, something should be done to get rid of that green spot, it's too conspicuous.

Dear Serghei

That looks like plates of gold! A perfect shot - what ever others wrote - in my eyes, the person walking boost DOF up to the boats at the upper end of your picture. Yes, there is this green spot, but I do not think it was a filer effect, it could also be a reflection of the water. A pictures shall remain a picture what you have seen and not something what is perfected in photoshop. You have shot a great picture and if this green spot is considered annoying by some, let it be. Congrats to your amazing picture.

Best regards
Urs

Hello Serghei! Excellent beach, amazing seascape and landscape, wonderful sunset, mysterious light and shadows. Perfect capture. Well done!

ManuMay (10836) 2009-07-20 23:25

Privet Serghei!!

Yes...This is one of the average captures that we dream to do sometimes...!!

Absolute contrasts and colours, but for me what is really given anadditional value is the way you have composed and the cadrage...to include the person adds value too...a great one my friend...

See you...

Best regards

Manuel

Hi Serghei,
The curves made by the waves and the golden reflection of the sunlight are magnificent. The lonely woman walking along the beach and the boats create and incredible atmosphere. The contrasts are strong and powerful. A really good job!
Best regards
Denis!

Bonsoir Serghei,
Superbe scène avec de chaudes couleurs. Image très graphique avec cette succession de vaguelettes et vivante grace à la présence d'un baigneur.

Hello Serghei,
I like the luminosity and color of this water in which the waves create strong and appealing graphism. The silhouette is a great bonus as well
