An imaginative idea, and well executed -- you got the exposure just right.

Wongerful shot.
The sun light flows down through the clouds, and leaves the sky above in a perfect blue. I'm becoming poetic..under the influence.
Great!!

Excellent shot, perfectly captured. One second either side would've produced an entirely different shot.

Really a nice shoot well framed and captured another demonstration that "simple" sights can become gorgeous pictures.

Incredible light and colors. This is really a surrealist shot. It's well exposed, sharp, with a stunning contrast. The fog in the distance, masking the island is beautiful and fits very well to counterbalance the strong dtails in the sky. Superb realisation!

Very captivating photo George. I am intrigued by the blue sky, this could not have been achieved with a polarizing filter. Care to tell us how you did that?

chrischris (859) 2003-09-15 17:16

Impressive colors, light, framing, exposure, skyline at 1/3... Excellent shot. It would be interesting to get some informations about the technical settings you've used...

As the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining. You just illustrated it. Nice shot.

Great shot, the colors are almost too sharp to be true...

Geo (1239) 2003-09-15 22:46

A great shot! It would not have been nearly as captivating without the lighthouse. I think that gives a sense of scale and distance to the picture which makes it a classic (IMHO). Great composition. Well done!

It is interesting that cropping with the horizon at 1/2 and a wide panorama gives another beautiful picture with a different feeling. Two for the price of one.

masterrye (559) 2003-09-15 23:55

WOW! what a perfectly clean shot! All the elements (colors, contrast, composition, sharpness, etc) merged together to form this great image.

drf (287) 2003-09-16 4:52

I can only endorse what has been said: a stunning picture, which is simple yet dramatic.

Clean and perect shot!
Superb light, sun gottcha!
Amazing atmosphere, so simple and fantastic,
thanks for sharing that beauty from the planet earth!

What about erasing the pilar there in the right horitzon line?

Eagle (522) 2003-09-30 11:50

Very beautiful picture! You could crop out some sky and right corner though.

MarieLaure (332) 2003-10-08 8:58

Very beautiful picture!!! It's absolutly well-seen : the effect of the sun around the cloud is amazing!! congratulations !! Maybe you could reframe it a bit to the bottom left...

sirdraco (129) 2003-10-10 13:20

When i saw this one, i thought i was looking at a picture from a very expensive Markting company, using it in an expensive holiday resort folder ;-)

In other words, it looks so profi !

savvas (51) 2003-10-31 6:03

Exellent! I specialy like the pitch black of the sea in contrast with the colourful sky

Jeppe (18623) 2003-11-28 5:57

Amazing photo - seams more like a painting - guess all been said.

It proves that timing - and the ability to recognise an opportunity when you see it - are all important.

Absolutely beautiful sky, nice capture moment

Magnifique image... A titre personnel, j'aurais coupé un peu du ciel et reduit légèrement, de ce fait le format de l'image.

pridel (233) 2004-05-07 10:57

SUPERBE !! C'est vraiment très très beau. Un grand silence émane de cette photo, le dégradé du ciel est remarquable ainsi que l'eau noire. Bravo

kaud (1838) 2004-10-11 4:19

All that matter to snap a great shot is "correct time".

rabdelnoor (2973) 2004-12-13 18:09

alekpet (4659) 2005-12-08 7:44

Dear George,

I think you should be very proud of this photo, because not only you were lucky, but you showed quite a big imagination.
It has all the elements of a great photo, from perfect exposure, capturing the right moment and also capturing all the subtleties of light.

take care, Aleks
