Ciao Goncalo,
non c'è bisogno di leggere chi ha scattato la foto per capire che è tua, inconfondibilmente tua, soprattutto per una combinazione di colori che ormai ti appartiene. Bella l'inclusione del castello di sabbia in primo piano e paesaggio assolutamente splendido.
Un caro abbraccio.
Giorgio

Hola Goncalo
Une autre belle utilisation du filtre, grande profondeur et beau cadrage avec les petites pavés de sable qui rapelle l'enfance
la semaine prochaine je part en Bretagne, je ferais quelques photos avec le filtre de la mer avec les rochers, si je réussi ça ne doit pas mal donner, enfin je pense :-)

Hi Gonçalo.

Your photo is nice. The composition and DOF are great... but what makes special and very succesful this photo is that unreal and magical light.

Well done.

Ola Goncalo,
le genre de phpoto dans lequel tu excelles maintenant, l'utilisation conjuguée,de différents filtres donnent des ambiances spectaculaires.
Un ciel qui en ressort magnifique.

Hi Goncalo. The photo with your favorite tobacco filter. Such a splendid beach and only one person far away. Nice palm and marvelous sky. The sand castle not impressive :))

Parabens!

Olá Gonçalo,
Bela vista da praia, mas suponho que também ficaria bonita sem filtro.
Cumprimentos,

ChrisJ (69618) 2009-07-04 3:13

Ciao Goncalo

I like the tobacco filter effect of the red sunset skies, against the cooler, cyan tinted sand in the fg. A marvellous tropical beachscape, with good framing & sharpness. Tfs!

giorgimer (20750) 2009-07-04 3:56

Olà Goncalo,

wonderful beach. I like the idea of shooting the sand castle in the FG with the beach and the mountain behind.

Well done!

josepmarin (33611) 2009-07-04 5:00

Olá Gonçalo,
buena composición, con un encuadre que da mucha importancia a la playa y a los castillos de arena en el primer plano, equilibrando su presencia con el precioso paisaje de la costa, las palmeras y el cielo dramático en el fondo de la imagen.
Bonito efecto del filtro tabaco sobre las nubes.
Excelente foto, amigo.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Olá Gonçalo!
Beleza de foto, com esse efeito no céu e a parte da areia invadindo a imagem e a presença do castelinho de areia, tudo em perfeita harmonia!
Parabéns, abraços e até logo!

leonorkuhn (13513) 2009-07-06 7:20

Oi Gonçalo,

Estas cores dão uma atmosfera de sonho a esta paisagem de praia, até os castelos de areia contribuem para isso! Excelente perspectiva, linda luminosidade e belos detalhes.

Abraços
Leonor

Hi Goncalo. Great summertime photo, nice use of the coloured filter and well composed with good depth. The sand castles make a great focal point. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

pierrefonds (25953) 2009-07-09 18:26

Hi Goncalo,

The use of the filter has a good effect on the colors of the sky. The point of view leads our eyes the mountain in the background which is giving depth to the composition. The palm trees are framing well the beach. The sand castle in the foreground is adding life to the picture. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Hello Goncalo,
This is a very beautiful composition, I like the discarded sand castle like a ruin left behind by civilization of the past. Good details and texture. I personally don't care too much for the filter, but it seemed many like it. It's a matter of taste and preference. I like landscape to be more natural, abstract shots are more suitable for experimentation and artistic expression. My humble opinions. Thanks.
Way

scalerman (25633) 2009-07-18 14:19

Goncalo: some fine horizonscapes - the sort that quickly incite Wanderlust. Congratulations. I like the filter here. c
