Ciao Goncalo,
splendida immagine con fantastici riflessi e colori bellissimi. Mi piace molto come hai composto la scena, con la diagonale creata dalle case ed i loro riflessi.
Ottimo lavoro.
Un caro abbraccio.
Giorgio

Ola Goncalo
A nice beach view with perspsective, difficult light but I like the metallic tones

wgreis (6062) 2009-07-20 11:01

Olá Gonçalo,
o efeito das nuvens proporcionando uma baixa luminosidade da praia e ainda a ausência de pessoas circulando no lugar, transmite uma idéia diferente e única.
Parece ter inclusive algo de dramático no foto.
Muito bom!
Parabéns e abraços,
Wagner.

Oi Gonçalo,
Tons de azul e reflexos estupendos! Há um equilíbrio fantástico entre morros de um lado e edifícios do outro... nem precisa de fiel de balança!
Bravo!
Docarmo

Hi Goncalo,
Beautiful coastal scene with the modern hotels making a stunning reflection in the wet tropical beach.
Beautiful story sky and lovely distant hills complete this lovely scene.

The lines in the wet sand lead our eye to the gorgeous reflections. The stormy sky is very dramatic and colourful. Excellent shot.

batalay (21006) 2009-07-22 18:00

Olá Gonçalo,

There is a dreamy aspect to the scene, the beach Riviera São Lourenço, captured perfectly with your D40x. I thought it was a slow shutter speed image, but it is actually very fast. Your visit of Brazil must have been memorable.

Um abraço,

Bulent

danyy (69001) 2009-07-22 23:41

Ola Goncalo,
pas mal ces lumières bien reflétées, un peu inhabituelles mais suffisantes pour mettre en valeur cette côte tranquille. Un bon moemnt de la journée propice à des photos reposantes.
Regards.
Daniel.

Clementi (44403) 2009-07-23 22:02

Ciao Goncalo,
eccezionali i riflessi, una bella luce morbida caratterizza questa foto, un pov davvero bello.
complimenti
Giorgio

jrj (34779) 2009-07-24 2:18

A fine result with the overall blusih setting. Also good use of the ND filter, adding a slower shutter and a velvet like surface of the water. Good work Goncalo

SNOOP_Chan (830) 2009-07-24 3:51

Hello Goncalo, amazing blue tones! I also like the reflections on the wet sand. Good depth in your photo and good sharpness, tfs!

marietom (32018) 2009-07-24 9:08

hello Goncalo,

jolie composition, joli bleu.
Bonne soirée
Marie

Kielia (8571) 2009-07-24 12:22

Hi Goncalo,
the light and the amazingly blue colors are fantastic and it is not only the atmosphere of the sea and the evening that makes this impression very attractive it is also the outstanding perspective. The reflections of the clouds are also very beautiful. TFS!
Warm regards
Harriet

JEPC (1303) 2009-07-24 15:29

Olá Gonçalo,

Ótimo trabalho com a grande angular! O destaque a meu ver são os reflexos e a perspectiva acentuada pela 18mm!
Parabéns

rikko77 (6206) 2009-07-25 2:10

Gonçalo, I've been missing lots of your pics lately, this one attracted my eyes attention, with its beautiful sky and the reflections on sand. Beautiful, parabéns!
Tenha um bom dia, amigo!
Rikk

maloutim (3977) 2009-07-25 7:32

Hola Goncalo!
Un juego de luz impresionante! Me gustan mucho la costa arenosa baja que parece como un espejo, y el cielo diviso en dos partes: la clara y la oscura!
Buonissima toma!
Saludos cordiales!
Marie Louise;

pablominto (40824) 2009-07-25 8:43

Hello Gonçalo,

A lovely composition, the low point of view works well here!
I notice the varied tones of blue in sea and sky, and the threatening clouds add to the atmosphere...
A balanced composition with good depth!

Greetings,
Pablo -

alainh (35379) 2009-07-26 21:28

Angshu (33795) 2009-07-27 2:17

Ola Goncalo
Fine use of the wide lens here with strong converging perspective of the water leading to the silhouetted island & buildings on the right. The heavy cloudy sky also lends to the atmosphere. Well done my friend!
Um Abraco
Angshu

josepmarin (33835) 2009-07-27 4:01

Olá Gonçalo,
buena toma a la hora azul, con todos los ingredientes para que sea muy atractiva a la vista.
Me gustan su débil luminosidad, sus colores, y la belleza del agua que contrasta sus tonos plateados y sus reflejos con el cielo nublado.
Bien equilibrado el encuadre, los edificios a la derecha añaden un buen interés gráfico a tu composición.
Bien realizada, amigo.
Un abrazo,
Josep

bakes888 (18257) 2009-07-28 0:49

Hi Goncalo. Great photo, full of drama and atmosphere. Well chosen POV to make the most of the reflections and accentuate the sky. Good handling of light also. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

the reflection and the blue dominance are really good looking

Olá Gonçalo,
linda foto esta! gosto muito dos tons azuis metalicos e deste contraste entre a selva urbana e a paz que sente advir da praia.
O céu carregado e a luz fraca do final de tarde criam uma atmosfera muito engraçada.
Um abraço.
Paulo
