Love Is Many Splendored Thing
Ray Conniff

Love is a many-splendored thing,
It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring,
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living,
The golden crown that makes a man a king.
Once on a high and windy hill,
In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still,
Then our fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing,
Yes, true love's a many-splendored thing.

Ai que saudades de Brasília... Terra tão linda! Penso que conheço muito, mas acho que não conheço é nada. Tantos amigos, tantos parentes que moram nessa capital... A foto me traz lembranças e saudades... Parabéns, abraço

Hi Leonor

Marvellous warm cold colour contrasts, between the amber & navy blue, with superb sharpness, & nice repetitive reflections of the lights. The people add scale & animate the scene. Parabens & obrigado. Tfs!

Olà Leonor,

A superb "blue hour" with an excellent managment of light. The alignement of light in the BG give a very beautiful graphic effect. Excellent FG too which give a prospect effect. Element of life with the peoples.
Amizades,
Roger

Olá Eleonor,
Excelente P.O.V. Desde o primeiro plano, seguindo este calçadão e arquitetura muito interessante , os reflexos no lago ficaram ótimos com cores variadas e belas e excelente definição. A ponte ao fundo guia o olhar em toda a foto.

Parabéns.,

Flávio.

lucasgalodoido (16583) 2009-06-26 11:03

Olá Leonor,
uma bonita vista essa, a iluminação ficou ótima, e gostei das cores também.
Parabéns e Abraço

Roccos (205) 2009-06-26 12:31

Olá Leonor. Gostei muito do colorido e das luzes. Em harmonia de cores, a cor laranja é complementar da azul e a cor amarela é complementar da roxa e tudo isto está na foto aumentando ainda mais o contraste. Parabéns.

Hola my friend Léonor
Une image très romantique, belle prise des lumières, POV et la prise a l'heure bleu, très jolie
Good Week end

wgreis (5980) 2009-06-26 18:47

Leonor!!! Que espetáculo!
Tenho uma muito parecida quanto ao POV, pois em cores e equilíbrio de luz a sua está melhor a meu ver.
Os tons amarelos-alaranjados, os reflexos das luzes n'água, o céu ainda parcialmente claro...
Tudo muito perfeito e harmonioso.
Parabéns e grande abraço.
Wagner.

Beautiful night shot with still plenty of blue in the sky as well as the remnants of the sunset. The fill flash has given just enough light to see the two pairs of lovers enjoying the evening in each other's company.

Dag Leonor,

All that vertical light reflection gives a splendid ambiance to the picture.
What will it mean for their love? Are they the arrows of Cupido or the bars of an captive love?

Hello Leonor,
Il ne manque que la musique du même titre pour que tout soit parfait. Une belle image de nuit à la lumière bien maîtrisée.
J'aime les reflets comme tout plein de petites flammes dans l'eau.

Olá Leonor,
qué imagen tan bonita, agradable y con un toque romántico.
Has hecho un buen trabajo en esta toma a la hora azul, me gusta el efecto de la iluminación del puente y la ciudad sobre el agua, con unos reflejos preciosos.
Buen equilibrio en la luz y los colores.
Es una foto muy atractiva a la vista, acompañada con la letra de una bella canción.

Ciao dear Leonor,
beautiful capture of the blue hour in Brasilia. The effect of the lights reflected on the water is really suggestive, also because the photo has been done with a good quality. The human presence embellishes the image. Excellent work, compliments!
Ciao, have a nice w.e.!

Hi Leonor,
Looks like a gorgeous place to spend some time to relax. The lighting and colours are fine with excellent sharpness and DOF. I like the light reflected on the surface of the water. It is a very nice clear blue hour shot- congratulations!

Hello Leonor,

The warm colours of night time photographs are always attractive!
I like the composition with the curving shoreline and the reflected city lights in the back...
Nice details and the human factor is taken care of!

Olá Leonor,

Splendid mix of lights, especially amazing contrasts of blues and reddish tones are wonderful. Your frame skilfully captured while including reflections and yellow bulb light. Of course lovers increased your frame's beauty.

Parabéns e Abraço!
