Hello Peter..long time. This is a well balanced grab..the shades of orange and red are indeed magical..a good balance of saturation..gives a mystic effect..the framing seems to work as well

Good one

Cheers

Why we all have reproachfully remarks from our wives?!!! I really think that a dinner while admiring such a beautiful sunset must be enough to calm down any nasty observation about taking photographs. Good on you, Peter. Very well done.

Hello Peter,

This is very nice. The warm colours of the evening work very fine in this ocean scene. The mountains and clouds give the image some dramatic elements. Good pano format and details. Thanks Peter.

Welcome Back Peter,
For not having much time for your great photo shoots you have captured the true feeling we all have for the warm beachs down south. The purple and orange are a compliment to any scene, and this included is a beauty.
I know that smile indeed, there have been times when I have done without my camera and when the time arrived to go back to it, well, nothing seemed important any longer, and the smile returned after a long absence.
Excellent work.....

Hi Peter,
This is not simple postcard. This is quality postcard, one of those that are sold with double the price compared to usual weather beaten ones that hang on racks on any kiosk on touristy places. Simply beautiful, no reason to be modest because you didn't climb mountains to get it this time.
I've always liked warm, uniform colour tones of sunsets. And those clouds look great.
Your off-center framing sort of requires a title at the bottom.

É fácil chegar ao México? Fico imaginando como deve ser uma viagem de carro dos USA para lá.
Bonita foto com esse céu avermelhado, cor bem quente. As nuvens por trás das montanhas e o mar a frente resultou numa pela paisagem.
Abraço

a nice moody image with good colors, I just may miss some stronger subject, but not sure.

Peter,
O trato da fotografia ficou excelente. O equilíbrio das cores e as formas ficaram muito bem resolvidas. Como habitual, outro excelente trabalho.

Olá Peter,

belo panorama! Gosto das cores que são tão compatíveis com essa hora do dia. Imagino que você tenha somente cortado as bordas para que ficasse nesse enquadramento, isso? Bela tomada!
Abraço,
Carlos

Hi Peter,
A good presentation is half the image i once read. Well, i a way they are right, but if the image sucks even a nice frame will help you, that's for sure. But here we see a very good example of a good presentation in black with a nice line in it...fitts the image well.
The photo itself is classic, but beautiful thanks to the clouds and the mountains to the left (some red color noise in them?), but for a perfect balance you needed a boat on the right ;-)
Whatever, we can't have it all, we keep on struggling, that's why photography stays nice.
Have a nice stay in LV...don't spend to much money ;-)
Regards, Henk

Das ist doch ein schoens Bild! Deine Messlatte ist einfach viel zu hoch angesetzt, und ich glaube nach einer Weile TE geht es den Meisten so, und man wird etwas zu pinggelig. Die meisten Leute waeren froh sie wuerden solche Fotos von den Ferien nach Hause bringen. Bist Du auch schon eingeschlafen bei einer Diashow? Ich schon. Na also, hier schlaeft man nicht ein.

Die Umsetzung gefaellt mir besonders gut hier mit den Strichen im Rahmen, die zum Ton des Abendhimmels passen, aber auch dass man gerade noch sieht, dass es bergig ist, bevor alles verschwindet im Dunkeln der Nacht. Hast "schimpfis" gekriegt ... da sag ich nur noch Maenner. Hin und wieder muss einfach durchgegriffen werden, wo kaema man sonst hin :)))) Gruss aus Zurich, sehr viel Winter hier. Barbara.

Hola Peter.
Beautiful sunset with warm colors and a nice silhouette of the mountains and especially the three islands. Very well captured.
Hope you have a wonderful time on your trip to the desert and then Las Vegas.
I'm going to Miami next week to spend Thanksgiving with my son and his family.
Un fuerte abrazo amigo.

Hi Peter,

No reason at all to feel bad about pretty postcards! ;-) And you're right about the things you are telling about professional photography. I don't even think you'll loose yourself, but if you're travelling with friends or family you will surely loose them when you start to take half a day to get a few pictures of a mountain...

Your wife has surely been lucky with this trip! :-D

Greetings,
Dennis

Hello Peter! Wonderful color capture and the frame compliments the scene nicely. The composition is very minimalistic, perhaps a little too minimalistic for me. Perhaps if the seastacks were a little closer to the foreground instead of being so distant it would make the composition stronger to me. But of course you have achieved your objective to show us the great photographic potential of this destination.

Nice work and a nice texture and colour of the light. Love the framing and composition. A great mood captured here.

Olá Peter,

Pode até ser que na sua galeria não se destaque muito, mas é um belo postal. Não faço ideia da qualidade das fotos que não nos mostrou, mas que para quem não se sentia especialmente inspirado, até que nem se saiu nada mal, tanto nesta como nas restantes.

Compreendo-o demasiado bem quanto a isso de fotografar acompanhado pela família. ;-)

Um abraço, José.

Oi Peter,
Gostei deste crepúsculo em ton-sur-ton e em várias camadas de ondulações. As ondulações começam na água, pequenas e vão aumentando de amplitude até chegarem nas nuvens. Estas não acabam ali à esquerda, há um "fog" no horizonte, à direita, que deixa uma impressão de ondas se reverberando em direção ao infinito.
A gente vê que o sol está por trás desta imagem!
Parabéns!

A very pleasing choice of framing and cropping. The light is also very warm and inviting. I know what you mean about forgetting time exists. I too have sometimes forgotten to change my camera settings from one shot to another.Looking forward to the Mojave images.
TFS.

Hello Peter,

I like the wonderful pink coloure to the sky.
But the clouds are a splendid painting against the sky, splendid contrast too.
Lovely composition, I like it with this frame.
Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Olá Peter,

As fotos mais elaboradas a gente só consegue perto de casa, quando se tem tempo para escolher o melhor ângulo, a luz correta, etc. Bonito efeito da luz dourada/alaranjada do por-do-sol sobre as nuvens, belas silhuetas.

Abraços e um bom final de semana em Mojave

Hi Peter,

Your umpretensious shot its far better them my best landscapes. Nice way to say goodbye to Mexico!
Thanks for sharing the secrete of your perfect shots. Knowing how your wife fells made me think about a solution, lets have a 'club' for wives and husbands of TE members and photographers! :)At least this way they can share their frustrations of having to deal with our photography bug. Love to see your pictures from the desert!

Take Care,

Flavia

Hello Peter -

What to say? I like this image and then again I don't like it. With that said lets see if I can communicate whats what. Likes: The strong side light, the post sunset colors, the balance between sea and sky. Dislikes: the heavy black frame, the softness, and the lack of detail. These are all subjective statements and should be taken with a large grain of salt considering you took this w/o the aid of a tripod and your stated purpose was snaps only. I hope the wife was not too "torqued off" with you. Well done considering your goals and limitations.

Thank you for sharing.

John

Olá Peter,
as cores são o destaque. O tema em si por estar envolto em uma certa penumbra, oferece um ar místico muito bonito.
A nota está excelente.

Fala, flamenguista sofredor.
Putz, que show de luz, cara. Só com uma DSLR ( e o teu talento, claro) para conseguir uma imagem destas, virtualmente noise-free, mesmo com uma luz tão sutil. Astonishing.

Hi Peter!

Beautiful landscape, excellent golden hour shot! Great panoramic framing, great composition and excellent light managment. I also like your form of presentation with those bars up and down. The combinations of deep orange and black is one of my favorites. Congratulations!

Hola Peter

¿Qué tal maestro?, la verdad, es que estoy un poco desaparecido.

Hoy he estado en la pagina, visitando a algunos amigos, la visita ha tú galería siempre es especial, nunca sabes con que nos va a sorprender, es un lujo.

La imagen esta llena de magia, es sencilla pero espectacular, el resultado final no tiene palabras, lo mejor, quedarte un rato contemplándola y te das cuenta de lo profunda que es.

Nos vemos.

Saludos.

Hi Peter, I really like the simplicity to this composition, which gives emphasis to the beauty of nature....pure and simple. The cloud formation which kind of mirrors the landscape, to me is the heart of this image. Colours and lighting are superb. Well done.
Cheers Grant
