Stillness and wild clouds Photo

Photographer’s Note

Stillness under flying clouds
surrounded by unspoilt islands
from where hundred of flying bats
had just flew out from their nests
The last rays of sun
still paint west the horizon
and the full moon
has just rise.
Magic silence around...

…
Crazy skies all wild above me now
Winter howling at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace
Oh all the times I've tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little Darling if you hear me now
Never needed you so bad
Spinning round inside my head

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now.
…
Sail Away (David Gray)

Hi Luca.
I love the composition and the dramatic mood. The clouds are making it dramatic. Very nice and natural colours. Your POV does also look well chosen.

Regards, Fredrik.

Hi Luca,

Excellent seascape, all his reflections in a sea very calm. The details of the boats and the wonderful sky with all its clouds.
Creates a very typical atmosphere.
And thank you for the poem that accompanies it.
Good evening.

Hello Luca.
Another fine picture from Indonesia.
Fantastic sky with threatening cloud formation, well exposed. Great composition placing the boat with its bright green and darker blue colouring on the right of the picture to balance the distant mountain range on the right side horizon. Beautiful colours and judicious contrast. Nice work.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Luca,
I love the dramatic clouds and the light beneath them. The boats supplement the composition nicely. TFS and have a nice day, Dasha

Hi Luca
It should be rare to get such a flat sea, reflecting the powerfull grey clouds. Well seen and focused.
Cheers

Hi Luca,

The low and heavy clouds have such a striking appearance with your wide angle and offer a spectacular set-up.

The boats balance the sunny patch. You have avoided to place your horizon line right in the middle which work nicely here.

Cheers!

Salut Lucas,
très belle lumière. C'est très dramatique...superbe ambiance. Je me demandais, as-tu utilisé un quelconque filtre ici?

avene (10918) 2009-11-06 11:41

fantastic shot, Luca, the clouds add such a dynamism to the scene, and the patch of light makes it even more dramatic. smart use of wide angle to emphasise depth and distance, great shot.

best,
Kristine
