Olá Carlos:

Não sei se há demasiado saturação no céu, mas a combinação de cores é espetacular.

Grande enquadramento e definição dos elementos na hora azul

Hello Carlos,

The strong colours and the heavy clouds leave a feeling of dooms day..!
A well planned composition, giving a lot of space to the sky and I bet those clouds contain quite a bit of rain...
Well framed and an attractive colour palette to set the mood!

Greetings,

Bom-dia Carlos,
Não publicas frequentemente, que lamento, mas quando publicas, é para propôr uma fotografia magnífica. Esta imagem noturna tem cores raras. A composição é hábil, utilizando o monumento iluminado. Uma composição concebida bem e notavelmente realizada. Felitações.
Passa um bom Domingo.
Cordialmente
Joël

Hola Carlos, this summer storm is marvellous, the sky is fantastic and you've chosen a 26 second exposure well to deliver such beautiful blue tones and dramatic sky. Everything is perfectly exposed and I love the use of the vertical framing. Great job, Lisa.

Hello Carlos,

The choice to give this important place to this impressive sky is judicious and emphasizes this monument well. Well built and balanced composition. I appreciate the management of the lights. Interesting glance with a pretty post treatment of the image. Well done Carlos.

With all my friendships and a good end of WE,

Jean-Charles

Olá Carlos,

Você nos apresenta uma outra composição realizada com grande sensibilidade artística. Adoro a textura algodoada das nuvens cinza-azuladas que dominam o céu. Belo trabalho!

Abraços
Leonor

wgreis (5900) 2009-06-21 10:54

Carlos,
a foto está muito bem iluminada.
A textura das nuvens é algo de especial e o dourado do solo é muito agradável.
Parabéns e grande abraço,
Wagner.

mauro61 (14614) 2009-06-21 15:01

ciao Carlos,
foto di grande impatto visivo a cui il blu del cielo da lo spirito.
Ottimo il taglio verticale e l'effetto delle calde luci sulla scena.
Complimenti e saluti
maurizio

cfreire (11647) 2009-06-21 15:10

Oi, Carlos
Gostei da dramaticidade impressa nesta captura, cujo bom uso do PL incrementou mais ainda esta atmosfera. A edificação, no primeiro plano, bem iluminada, criou belos contrastes com as nuvens pesadas que a emolduram. Bonita mostra. Adorei a inserção da letra de Eduardo e Mônica, em sua Introdução, esta música, durante um bom tempo, foi uma espécie de hino, em Brasília. Abraço, Consuelo

francio64 (10410) 2009-06-21 15:29

Ciao Carlos,
un cielo così spettacolare, non mi era ancora capitato di vederlo.
Eccellente il contrasto che esso ha con il resto della foto.
Un ottimo cocktail di tonalità calde e fredde.

Well done!
Francesco

Great work!

E que tempestade deve ter sido. A luz mesmo com o tempo nublado ficou excelente. Gosto das cores e do brilho da foto.
Abraço

lucasgalodoido (16537) 2009-06-22 7:53

Olá Carlos,
essas nuvens ficaram sensacionais em sua foto, tanto as formas como as cores, e o contraste com o monumento ficou muito bom também.
Parabéns e Abraço

Hi Carlos,
Impressive view of storm by night, fantastic color and lighting to show dark sky against lamps bright up the foreground park, distinct photo, well done.

danos (31652) 2009-06-23 3:18

Olá Carlos!
superb the sky from the coming storm,I like the force of the clouds,as the artificial light that cover the floodlight the monument.Nice management of the colours as the light too.Well done.

Regards,Danos

denisn72 (6867) 2009-06-23 4:13

Hello Carlos!
Very interesting clouds. The picture is soft (no noise) and I like the colours. The vertical format is a good choice. The structure on the bottom left is particular...I wonder what it is? Well done!
Best regards
Denis!

Kevin64 (138) 2009-06-23 6:37

I'm typically drawn to color when it's used to tell a story. Too often it's used as a parlor trick. This is a powerful image with skillfull use of color. I also agree with Rodgerg that this is a great use of the vertical format. The solid structure gives the image grounding which removes it from the "another pretty sky" category too. Great eye.

The more I look at this, I start to wonder about the choice of colors you applied to it. They really work well to support a specific composition. This could have been a very different image with the use of different color or no post work. I would have been afraid to use such saturated color in the sky but it really works. Still thinking about why these colors work (pink sidewalks?...Really?...hmmm)? I'm going to experiment with some of my own images in post and see if I can't nail this down.

Thanks for posting.

zmey (7242) 2009-06-23 7:43

ola Carlos, I like the long exposure effect on these cloud formations. the luminosity on the ground is very refined too.

warm regards,

Hello Carlos,

A very good use of vertical format
Nice blend of natural and artificial light and well composed to make the most of the sky.
Nice composition and good presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Warmest regards,
John.

avene (10870) 2009-06-25 10:02

hi Carlos,
the long exposure really did the trick here, I like a lot the clouds that look like bubbles of ink dissolving into the water of the pale sky. I only wish the starlight on the right was fully in the frame, as the brightest point in the shot it immediately attracts attention.

best,
Kristine

Bluejeans (31553) 2009-06-25 10:17

Oi amigo ,
Bem aparecido :), que belo efeito conseguido aqui com este movimento de nuvens 26 segundos ficou lindo , os detalhes no primeiro plano ficaram bem definidos , boas cores, parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

axiotea (15919) 2009-06-26 5:33

Olà Carlos
The long exposure gave a interesting and smooth texture to the sky... a good choice as well of the vertical format adding to the graphism of the building.
I like the star effect on the lamp posts.
Abraço
Marilyn

Hi Carlos,

bostankorkulugu (33334) 2009-06-28 1:49

the sky is the stunner factor in this one carlos... good job as always... (we had a congress at the hospital on friday and saturday, with three surgeons from sao paolo... great people...)

alvaraalto (5227) 2009-06-29 13:47

Dag Carlos,

This blue threatening clouds dominates the landscape. Therefore it was very wise to chose this vertical framing with ¾ sky.

Groet Rob

batalay (20690) 2009-06-30 20:11

Superb shot, Carlos! The colors and light management are flawless, and in presenting it with a vertical format, you have accentuated the distressed weather conditions.

Um abraço,

Bulent

nivaldo (12856) 2009-07-01 17:45

Sempre imagens refinadas e apresentações de bom gosto!
Mais uma vez, parabéns Carlos!

Hello Carlos,
I think that the "Decisive moment" may be added to your categorization ("Nature, Architecture") of this shot. The clouds, lights and colors make the feeling of forthcoming storm. Very artistic job!
Best regards,
Sergiy

Flavia (10202) 2009-07-14 6:32

Ola Carlos,
