Photographer’s Note

The Parque Tejo is situated in between Parque das Nações (Nations Park) and the mouth of the river Trancão, and it is an immense green space that invites to long walks.
Its location right next to the Natural Reserve of the Tejo Estuary (Reserva Natural do Estuário do Tejo) allows the most interested in discovering and observing the fauna and flora of the Tejo estuary and to contemplate nature at its best.
Besides the huge green area, the Park has other structures such as toilets, children’s parks, a skate park, a wooden bridge over the river with a large extension, and several activities as for instance festivals, specially in summer time.

Aviller (3108) 2009-01-30 10:24

Amazing colors. The deep DOF really makes a difference so you chose a great exposure. I like how the boardwalk draws your eye into the picture and the runner on the right adds a lot to the picture thanks to his outline.

pilpel-adom (3016) 2009-01-30 11:10

Hey Goncalo,
Nice moody shot you got here; the tobbaco filter does a great job and you utilized it wisely to enhance the drama and atmosphere! Good utilization of the walkway to create a perspective that enhances the feeling of depth in this picture.
Well done!
Chen

Hi Goncalo, The wooden boards in the foreground and the colourful skies make this a spectacular image. Good job. TFS. Murray.

KLB (18279) 2009-01-30 14:48

Hello Goncalo

Absolutly a stunning shot ! It's quiet an apocalyptic atmosphere. The sky like fire, the dark silhouettes which run... You did a great use of the tabacco filter.
The golden reflection on the wooden pier is marvelous.
Great work.

Regards
Karine

Olá Gonçalo,

Grande composição, posso aqui muitas vezes de bicicleta e já fiz muitas fotos aqui.
As cores e brilho no chão foram bem conseguidas, parabéns.
Um abraço,
Filipe

asajernigan (14284) 2009-01-30 18:55

Goncalo,
The colors are wonderful with the great clouded sky. The lighting is good with outstanding sharpness and DOF. The boardwalk works well leading the eye through the shot. The person on the bridge creates a nice sense of scale for the shot.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Goncalo,
Good one,
The tobacco filter is well used and enhances the strange feeling of the picture.

Hi Gonaclo,
Great title to go along with this imaginative image.
Love the golden reflection on the slippery wet wooden bridge.
The jogger gives effective scale and depth to this fine image.

Good morning,Goncalo,
very atmospheric the scene and especially the yellowish sky.It looks like a film of scientific fantasy.I like the existence of the strolling man as the reflection of the sky that are spread almost in the whole bridge.Well done.

Have a nice weekend,Danos

Hi Goncalo,
Superb scene--the golden tones, the silhouettes, the sky, the light reflected on the bridge. Dramatic.
TFS and a nice WE,
Andreea

riclopes (33135) 2009-01-31 1:51

Olá Gonçalo, que perspectiva espectacular tirada contra a luz. O efeito do teu filtro aqui é simplesmente fantástico e gosto do teu pdv junto ao pavimento de madeira. Se calhar estavas a verificar a qualidade da madeira para procederes à sua substituição, hahaha. Lindíssima a luz reflectida na passadeira molhada e excelente a inclusão dos corredores. Parabéns.
Bom fim de semana,
ricardo

Oi, Gonçalo
Mais uma bela mostra com tonalidades maravilhosas. Os reflexos sobre o piso de madeira está elegante, atrativo. A silhueta da pessoa, à direita, completa um cenário como que poético. Abraço, Consuelo

belido (16857) 2009-01-31 4:23

Kielia (8733) 2009-01-31 9:04

Hi Goncalo,
this is great photo work (as usual!) but from my point of view the impression is very eerie! The colors are unearthly and also the light creates a scary atmosphere. But I really like it nevertheless! TFS!
Warm regards
Harriet

Incrível Gonçalo,
gostei muito do reflexo no piso deste céu "em chamas". O homem caminhando e a vegetação formando um conjunto de sombras ficou fantástico.
Parabéns e abraços,
Wagner.

You are coming closer and closer to the borderline between snap shooting and ART!
Excellent! Pure pleasure for my eyes!
Congratulations!

Very nice perspective and wonderful coulurs to the sky.
My compliments for this wonderful picture, I like the reflections about the lake.
Very well done, TFS.

josepmarin (34099) 2009-02-01 4:16

Olá Gonçalo,
atrevido punto de vista muy bajo que nos ofrece una espectacular perspectiva de esta pasarela de madera, mojada por la lluvia.
El ambiente frío y lluvioso, las siluetas en contraluz, y el efecto del filtro sobre el cielo y las nubes, funcionan muy bien en la foto, y la gente corriendo da fuerza dinámica a la escena.
Bonito trabajo.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Vames (4356) 2009-02-01 4:32

hola Goncalo,very beautiful park and nice composition!good colours !salutare Vaios

feather (50144) 2009-02-01 5:55

I thought this was a sunset, but see you used a tobacco filter. It has given a very dramatic effect and adds a lot to the beauty, especially the sheen on the wet surface of the boardwalk. Good placement of the jogger in the frame.
Kath

lucasgalodoido (16789) 2009-02-01 7:38

Olá Gonçalo,
muito bonita mesmo essa captura, acho que uma das mais originais usando esse filtro laranja. Um ótimo contraste aqui também.
Parabéns e Abraço

Un autre beau travail avec le filtre tabacco

jemaflor (39759) 2009-02-01 10:04

Hi Goncalo,
Nice light and colour for this very brightness sky, well captured to give a good shot with an interesting fg with reflections on this wooden path.

ciakgiak (11250) 2009-02-01 14:47

Hello Goncalo,
congratulation for this masterpiece!
Really fantastic, with a good POV and an incredible dramatic sky. I like a lot people running.
Best regards dear friend.

Olá Gonçalo,
Outro belo trabalho com filtro... és o mestre dos filtros! Ficou belíssimo! A profundidade é tamanha que poderíamos dizer que é uma imagem em busca do infinito!
Parabéns!
MCV

Juntas (3544) 2009-02-02 3:24

Olá Gonçalo. Bonita perspectica do passeio do Tejo. A chuvinha também pode fazer maravilhas como é o caso do brilho no pavimento. Excelente a profundidade até perder de vista e a inclusão do corredor que nem fez tremer o chão :-). Abraço. Paulo

AiresSantos (42902) 2009-02-02 5:32

Love the low POV, the perspective created by the walk, the sheen of the sun on the wooden planks & of course the joggers. The tobacco filter creates a moody atmosphere again. Well done!
Um Abraco
Angshu

npecanhuk (14672) 2009-02-04 0:37

Olá Gonçalo!
Esta realmente é uma das melhores entre as suas mais recentes!
O formato vertical foi um excelente escolha que lhe permitiu a partir de um ponto de vista rente ao chão compor essa imagem tão lindamente, cheia de ricos detalhes, apesar de relativamente simples! Destacam-se o efeito de luz e cor do céu, a passarela que nos leva junto àqueles corredores e nos faz realmente querer ir com eles, com a vegetação (silhuetas) aos lados, o grafismo de seu piso, bem como o brilho de suas tábuas! Muito boa mesmo! Gostei muito! Parabéns, abraços e até mais! Neyvan

jafadabret (40323) 2009-02-04 9:10

Olá Gonçalo.
Encore une photo superbe et une bonne utilisation du filtre. Le ciel est très lumineux et le plancher de la passerelle est bien rendu avec le reflet de la lumière.
Beau travail !
Jacques

BWJ (1775) 2009-02-04 10:44

Hello Goncalo,
Very effective perspective. The lighting especially on the walkway and in the clouds is absolutely marvelous! Most beautiful and skillfully done.
Kind regards,
Betty

MarianneS (14416) 2009-02-04 13:25

Hello Goncalo,
I do not particularly like the use of coloured filters. But here, I have to say it creates a spectacular effect over the sky and gives a very dramatic mood to your (very good) composition.
Well done.
Regards,
Marianne

marietom (32076) 2009-02-08 7:23

hello Goncalo,

Magnifique composition, dans cet orange de soleil couchant ! J'aime beaucoup !

vmukherjee (395) 2009-03-28 5:44

Wow! A classic work of art. Looks like a water colour to me!! The yellow clouds and the reflections on the wet path set up the mood for the image. Great composition too. Thanks for sharing.

bona (2503) 2009-05-13 8:43

Gonçalo, essa foto está divina. O tabaco funcionou de forma excelente e deu um belo visual a esse caminho. O homem correndo deu um incremento a foto.

Bom trabalho.
