HI Goncalo,

The length of the field is giving depth to the composition. The angle of shhoting is giving me a general view of the Barreiro city. Using a graudal tobacco filter has a special effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Displayed beautifully in this exquisite and extraordinary vision of a perfect frame.
Resolution and color using beautiful sky.
Have a nice day.

Royaldevon (17791) 2012-05-03 1:05

Ola Goncalo,

You have created a shot which resembles a painting rather than a photograph. I think it is the soft colours, especially the tobacco filtered sky.
You have a fine thirds composition, and fine, vein-like leads towards the city. There is a wonderful sense of space and depth.

Have a lovely day, my friend,
Bev :-)

abmdsudi (26233) 2012-05-03 1:35

Hi Goncalo

Hi Goncalo
fascinating and compelling shot this. The combination of green and the tobacco filter are so effective and attractive. It make the skyline of the city all the more impressive and eye-catching. Superb execution and presentation. Love it!

Have a good day - Brian.

gonçalo

o uso do filtro tabaco deu beleza a estas nuvens brancas que ficariam feiosas de outra maneira. gosto das estrias da água no terreno lamacento. vai ver é daí que vem o nome da cidade.
linda foto, bem feita.

abraços

ikeharel (37316) 2012-05-03 8:32

Reading your note I thought this was in India, Goncalo - The town of Rawalpindi has a sister town with same name in India.
the use of tobacco-filter gave a whole diff. look on the sky aloft, good that you show ground in it's natural green.
Nice premeditated setup.
Boa tardes,
Ike

Waylim (22355) 2012-05-03 10:29

Hello Goncalo.

I like very much the low tide that show the wetland with stream of creeks leading in toward the city skyline. Color are beautiful and natural, except the sky with you signiture tabacco smoke. In this case I think it might be better without because you do have some blue sky. Or maybe post the original as WS.

Ciao Goncalo,
una composizione che oltre alle tue consuete tinte ci mostra una panoramica molto bella, la cui bellezza è accentuata da questi rivoli d'acqua sul terreno.
Molto bello ed efficace il cielo, perfetta la qualità.
Un caro abbraccio

Bravo Goncalo,
hai usato il filtro degradante tabacco con grande equilibrio e maestria.
La nitidezza del paesaggio e il bellissimo cielo contribuiscono a dare una immagine molto suggestiva.
Ti auguro un felice w.e.
Con amicizia

macjake (39227) 2012-05-04 10:36

Hi Goncalo
i see that you're using your tobacco filter once again :)
I really do like how it gives a rust color feel to the scene.
Good use of the rule of thirds with the landscape along the bottom third.
an interesting green space too.
cool shot
cheers

The radial patterns in the lake resemble veins. Good sharpness & judicious use of the tobacco filter for the sky. Excellent sharpness & saturation. Tfs. Parabens y obrigado!

josepmarin (55027) 2012-05-04 13:02

Olá, amigo Gonçalo,
fantástico efecto en el cielo otra vez, debido a los tonos creados por el filtro tabaco. El dramatismo que has alcanzado es muy bueno.
La composición en tercios es armónica y está bien equilibrada, y has gestionado muy bien la luz y los colores.
Es una bonita foto.
Um abraço,
Josep

Nice result with this wet green fg and good management with your filter, interesting effect for the sky.

kato (6767) 2012-05-08 4:57

Hello Goncalo,

You're capturing well this cityscape by a paroramic view and tasteful tone, it's impressive to see many buildings of city, the green nature with a lot of branches of the river and amazing sky dyed to orange color. The whole is harmonized well by beautiful touch.
Have a nice day.

Kind regards,
mikio

Angshu (51174) 2012-05-08 7:35

Ola Goncalo!
Rawalpindi is the neighbouring county of Barreiro? Rawalpindi is the name of a big city in Pakistan! I am surprised with the same name in your country!
A nice picture with the use of tobacco filter with the waterways creating a good lead-in
