from the very bottom of my heart, friend, i forgive you... :)) for breaking that RULE. i think i can see why you did it: you didn't wannt to miss none of the cloudwork and none of the foreground. would be destructive, wouldn't it? :) i like the sight and will try to remember your note when i get to Parana coast one day ;)

with warm regards,
kristaps

Hi Carlos,
Amazing view with equally amazing clarity and colors. I agree that the rules are sometimes meant to be broken.

Hi Carlos,
The vegetation is quite similar to that found in some hilly areas in my country. Nice atmosphere & great mist in the valleys. I like the yellow/golden colors of the clouds. Regards. Latiff.

Boa Tarde Carlos!
Estive neste ponto em 2002, numa viagem de carro que fiz de Campinas a Buenos Aires, na volta... no entanto, apesar de estar ensolarado, havia nuvens cobrindo as vistas mais longínquas... como as que obteve nessa lindíssima fotografia! Cores e profundidade cativantes de primeira!
Parabéns!
Abração!

Hi Carlos,
A nice view and to me it looks just good on the composition, so whi gives a f*** about the composition rules.
The second layers of cloud seems to have a strong yellow toning inside, but it could also be the haze above the ocean. Anyway, i like the composition and the strong colours you used here...very nice.

Beleza e surpreendente como você consegue avistar longe. Os detalhes estão muito bons e a compo, com f/stop de 13, ficou excelente. Linda fotografia, amigo.

Olá Carlos,
Magnífica vista. Na miniatura nem dava para perceber essa zona ao fundo.
Beleza de foto e panorama. Para ser perfeito só falta mesmo a pamonha!
Um abraço,

Oi, Carlos
A foto está muito bonita, e nem senti falta da regra dos 2/3. A exuberânacia dos verdes no primeiro plano está belíssima, acentuando o contraste com os tons mais azulados dos demais planos. Gostei, também, das nuvens, elas acrescentam certa dinamicidade à captura. Belo trabalho. Um abraço, Consuelo

Olá Carlos,
ficou ótima essa foto, e as vezes é bom qubrar as regras mesmo, principalmente aqui no Brasil, onde parece que são feitas pra não ser seguidas mesmo... Gostei do tom amarelado que você aplicou na foto, ficou interessante.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Depth is superb here.
This sky is great, and the way you composed the picture, with great landscape too, is very pleasant.

Oi Carlos,

Uma composicao balanceada, neste caso quebrar as regras funcionou muito bem pois tanto a parte superior com o seu como a parte inferior com a vista e os arbustosa adicionam interesse a foto.

Abracos,

Flavia

Hello Carlos,
This is a fine point of view, from an elevated point inland to the distant sea!
I notice how the shimmering water stands out in the backlight, and the frame has good focus throughout...
Attractive colours, the foreground interest adds to the sense of depth!

Olá Carlos,
impresionante fotografía de gran belleza, donde nos muestras una visión fenomenal prácticamente idílica: mar & montaña & cielo espectacular = favorita !
me gusta la luminosidad tan suave que tiñe el horizonte.

Un abraço,

Jordi

PD: bravo por romper la regla de los tercios, en esta ocasión la fotografía se lo merece!

Hejsan Carlos
to start with ... there is no rules.. just a manual for them that haven't skill to take good pictures by there own judgement.
So you don't need any rules... just keep on taking good pictures..
Here I like the correspondence between the clouds and the water and the tree canopy POV that make me feel like a Tucan.
hej så länge

Excelente foto, Carlos. Aquela faixa de nuvens mais amarelas é apenas um dos belos detalhes. A luz é ótima e você aproveitou bem o primeiro plano, sempre difícil de compor nestas situações. As regras são mesmo para serem quebradas e isso é só para quem sabe! Parabéns pelo ótimo manejo!
Abraço,
Zeca

Olá Carlos,
too bad that you did not follow the rule here :-)
Interesting view with the deep valley, the water and the structure of clouds here. The good strong green in the foreground is pleasant and I like this one.

Ola Carlos,
nice composition with a great perspective and POV.Excellent the depth of the field as the view of Paraná coast line.As you write the rules are made to be broken and the rule of thirds is not panacea.I like the combination of the endless sky and the infinity of the earth.Informative your note.

hola amigo,
the vast verdant green is well seen intermingling with the blue cloudy sky. it gives the feel of contentment for anyone having a stop here. rules are rules, sometimes it pays to break some...at least here, no bailbonds needed, only inactivation!..:-)). the composition is just fine, perfect.
and i would like to taste a piece of Pamonha one day.
cheers,
Benedict

A regra de três muitas vezes me incomoda tanto que resolvi deixá-la de lado.
Mais uma vez, imagem adorável e lembra muito a estrada velha de Santos (a via Anchieta) com São Vicente e Praia Grande lá embaixo :)
Tenho algumas fotos daí. Na época da floração é mais do que um presente para os olhos, e sempre me dá vontade de descer a pé...
Belíssimo céu.
Bom final de semana.

Carlos,
os craques nao seguem regras e foi por este motivo que Pele, Garrincha e Co. deu aquele show de bola. Eles faziam exatamente o inesperado e todo mundo gostava ... adorava. A sua imagem e um destes momentos em qual a galera grita Oleeeeee .... Ta muito boa e eu nem ligo para a regra dos 1/3. Da lhe bola, Carlao!
Pamonha? Coisa boa? Ta ficando louco e ensinando coisa ruim para os gringos ai? Eu nunca gostei disso mas sim de um bom churrasco ou feijoada, hmmmmmmmmm

Rules are there TO BE broken, my friend! Specially when we're talking Art!
Wonderful shot, Carlos, truly wonderful.
The depth of field is simply huge, and light & colors are awesome. GREAT JOB!
And thanks for passing by my "When The Going Gets Tough". I greatly appreciate.
Well, time for a beer!
Have a wonderful day, I'll see ya soon.
Cheers,

Fulvio.

Hi Carlos,
Wonderful sightseeing. It's breathless.
Of course, the light on the leaves and on the clouds is an important element. But the depth of field is excellent and it is the reason why we can appreciate such a beautiful landscape.
I am glad you decided to break the rules : your composition is perfect as it is.
Regards,
Marianne

Carlos,
Você não seguiu a lei dos terços mas dissimulou, pois vejo claramente os três blocos: primeiro plano, com esse maravilhoso e iluminado verde; segundo plano, a serra azulando e já azul; terceiro, o ceu que protege tudo e a tudo dá dimensão e profundidade.
Bela foto, parabéns.

Hello Carlos. You are right about the resemblance. I can fool anyone here that this is Malaysia if not for the tag. Nice sun spot on the foreground capturing the beautiful view down there. Brilliant sky and I like this. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Hello Carlos,
It is all right to sometimes break the rules especially when the result is as nice as this one. The depth evokes a great sense of space and distance. Natural colors and sharp details are excellent. The sky and clouds are perfectly beautiful.
Warm wishes,
