Hello Ertugrul,

A wonderful background with quite some things to see and to guess about in the foreground. I do like the toning and silouettes, but I might have cut off a bit more of the top and go for the panoramic presentation here.

Greetings,
Dennis

Splendid image, Ertugrul,

the silhuettes are well defined and the sky behind is superb.
Another masterpiece.
My best wishes for the Season,
Donato

Hi Ertugrul,
Excellent sunset photo, very artistic! The dramatic sky and expressive silhouettes look perfectly! Very well done!
With my best regards,
Sergiy

Another fantastic silhouette work Dear Ertugrul! At first, they looked like mythological figures to me, so wonderful is your composition with the firelike clouds in the background. Amazing shot.

I wish you a happy new year full of health and joy my friend.

kermit350 (8988) 2008-12-23 13:44

Merhaba Ertuğrul, Superb colors for this excellent range, I like these two colors thus put side by side, the junction of these colours particularly the orange yellow range is chatoyant, there is no doubt that under similar skies the fishing parties are more pleasant, I wish you a Merry Christmas , arkadasça selamlar ..........................
Merhaba Ertuğrul, Superbes couleurs pour cet excellent dégradé, j’aime ces deux couleurs ainsi mises cote à cote, la jonction de ces teintes particulièrement le dégradé jaune orange est chatoyant, nul doute que sous de pareils cieux les parties de pêche sont plus agréables, je te souhaite un joyeux Noël
, arkadasça selamlar

stego (22360) 2008-12-23 15:17

Merhaba Ertugrul,

The silhouetes of the fishermen working reminds me a sculpture ensemble. It's a stunning image, wonderfully composed and that "burning" sky is just fabulous.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Selamlar, José.

lucasgalodoido (16605) 2008-12-23 17:42

Olá Ertugrul,
uma imagem bem bonita essa das silhuetas e desse fantástico por do sol. Belo trabalho amigo e um feliz natal e próspero ano novo para você e sua família também.
Parabéns e Abraço

gunbud (27955) 2008-12-23 20:09

Hi Ertugrul,
Breathtakingly beautiful shot of those who labor long and hard for a small return but then again the world's financial woes mean little or nothing to them.
The rich varying shades of gold make the ideal backdrop for the silhouetted fishermen and their gear to stand out against.
Simply an outstanding morning image.
Regards, Tom

I wish, you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful, peaceful and prosperous the 2009,Danos

Fantastic cross-light with wonderful tones in the sky that seems to be burning, and elegant dark silhouettes of the fishermen, in a good postcard of Christmas.
I wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas and a New Year full of peace, friendship and health.
Warmest regards, my friend.

messenger1 (1029) 2008-12-25 18:27

Fantastic composition, Ertugrul. The sky is afire with color, the cloud patterns give a fine horizontal background and the silhouetted figures are clear and distinct. Well done.

Hello Ertugrul,

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for you and your family.
I like the dark silhouettes of the people against a wonderful pink sky.
Beautiful summer impression with spectacular diagonal composition.
Very well done.

Hi Ertugrul. Great sunrise with beautiful colors. Fishermen look like statues in a very nice effect. Great. Happy holidays. Paulo

Hello Ertugrul,
fantastic shot of this burning sky in the morning.
The colors of the sky are really spectacular but the highlight are the black silhouettes of the fishermen and their stuff. Great composition. Congratulations.
Best wishes and Happy New Year 2009!
Helmut

batalay (21006) 2008-12-26 21:02

Merhaba Ertugrul,

This image is evocative of a dream — or a setting at the opening of a Broadway vision of the South Pacific. Of course, it is actually Suriname. What sunrises, what sunsets you must see at the suburb of Paradise.

Yeni yilinizi içten kutlarim,

Bülent

Bonjour,
belle photo de ce coucher de soleil avec ces superbes teintes, ces ombres chinoises qui sont américaines du sud sont tout simplement très jolies dans ce décor magnifique.

merhaba ertugrul

adores (15597) 2008-12-30 17:39

Hi Ertugrul!
Very good shot! The silhouettes are great with that amazing golden sky in background. The tonalities are fabulous!

Hello Ertugrul,
this picture is fantastic, the colors of the sky at sunset are spectacular, and the silhouette of fishermen leaving gives a magic touch to the image.
You are a great photographer, congratulations my friend.
Happy New Year to you and your family.

Hello Ertugrul,

One of the best pictures I find on TE these days.
Congratulations - Beautiful mostly side oriented men silhouettes, and gorgeous skies -
May 2009 be an excellent year for you too - Friendly yours - Izzet

ElAprendiz (7370) 2009-01-04 14:06

My dear friend Ertugrul:

Although a bit late to say, I should not miss the opportunity to do so. Striking shades of red and orange sky and the silhouettes of the figures, make a good contrast, apart from being well defined.

John

claudeD (11350) 2009-01-05 11:26

avene (11052) 2009-01-06 19:51

hello Ertugrul,
excellent photo, I like a lot the drama of the black silhouettes against the burning sky, makes me imagine it is some magic underground workshop where gnomes and elves melt the gold and silver to create presents for us :) good timing to capture these fiery colours.

best,
Kristine

g_panakia (3994) 2009-01-07 6:18

Hi, Ertugrul -

MUCH more interesting than a simple sunrise shot, however beautiful the sky is. Adding the people in motion, or about to be in motion, makes this an exceptional photo.

Best,
Dan
