[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Valencia is a populated city of the Mediterranean coast (over a million inhabitants). To few kilometers (12) to the south lies La Albufera, an inner lake separated of the sea by a narrow piece of land. Arround the lake rice is cultivated. This is the homeland of paella. Also it is fished here. In a small town at its border, El Palmar, you can eat in one of the many restaurants "All i pebre" a plate done of eel and ground dry red pepper.
It is not a big lake (only 6 km diameter) but it is inside of the Natural Park wich is 21'000 hectares large.
It was saturday morning when I took this photo and nobody was there. But I think this is a good place to escape from the stress of the city.

PP: since the original photo was slighty overexposed I balanced it with Photoshop. I added also some yellow and red to the clouds.

Good Job! Everything looks so peacefull on this picture that it's almost unreal. Very nice colours! Nele

Good compositon .
Colours are impressive

wow, such a surreal shot...looks like a scene from animated storybooks....beautiful!

Hi Clemente,
I have a weak spot for this symmetric, centralised pictures. Great colours and sharpness.
Unfortunately a little one side down, but that can easily be corrected.

Clemente,
cette photo ressemble a s'y méprendre à une pub pour Aigle...bravo,
- la perspective est bonne,
- les couleurs pas mal, sauf le fond qui est un peu délavé, peut etre aurait il fallu mettre un polarisant, ou sousexposer d'1 diaph...

mais sinon, l'esprit y est, c'est du bon boulot..

a bientot sur te ou tl

Bien visto este detalle Clemente.
Me gusta la profundidad que aporta la pasarela adentrándonos en el agua.
Hay que cuidar la línea del horizonte :)
Buen finde.

Very great photo with nice wide view and warm colours. Alvaraalto is right, it is a bit tilt to the left, but that is maybe because of the wood in the foreground of the photo, because here the lines look straight.

Hola Clemente
Buena composición con la pasarela enfocada en el centro y como elemento (finito) que contrasta muy bien con la inmensidad del mar.
También los colores están muy acertados.
...Y desde luego dan ganas de correr hasta al final y tirarse al agua, o sentarte y tener la sensación de encontrarte en medio del mar.
Muy bien captado
Saludos
Ana

Hello Clemente,
a beautiful and "calm" picture.
a simple composition but with real graphic quality.
Nice work.

I honestly love this picture. It makes me feel calm..
Thank you,
Kasia

¡Qué buena! Yo creo que es la mejor que has puesto aquí y te lo explico. Para mí, además de mostrar un lugar del mundo, la foto tiene que generar una emoción, y por emoción entiendo que sea capaz de transportarte con la imaginación al lugar que te está mostrando. En este caso lo logras, con creces además. Los colores son perfectos, la composición es buena pero en el fondo todo eso me da igual, lo que siento al ver este foto es deseos de:
A)Salir corriendo y tirarme en bomba al agua.
B)Sentarme al borde a ver el anochecer.
C)Pasear sobre la pasarela susurrándole a alguien palabras de amor.
D)Relajarme y no pensar en nada.
Bueno, que va directa a mis favoritas.

Hola Clemente, I haven't seen your latest photo for a while now! i really enjoy this one... it's really wonderful.

If you had a childreen jumping from the edge of the pier it would be the perfect photo.

Gracias,
Mario

Muy buena foto! Es increible ver como un mismo tema con diferentes efectos de luz puede cambiar, me gusta mucho la toma y los colores que has logrado.

Beautiful and serene scenery with a nice perspective and composition. Nice colours and contrast. Nice done!

To run and dive from the end looks so inviting. The light jetty and the dark water is a good contrast. May just need to level the horizon slightly.

Hola Clemente!!

Me gustan los colores: esas diferentes tonalidades desde el agua hasta el cielo. Buena perspectiva. Pienso que fallo la linea del horizonte, pero con tan bella imagen hasta se prdona eso!!!

Un abrazo,

Gabriel

hello, today I need it, nice way and I think that there is calm,beauty colours with great idea, I love it, rgs

Simple but classic view. The mood evoked here is one of absolute calm. I do like that despite the symmetry, it is broken slightly by the three posts on the right of the bridge and only two on the left. Nice light too!

Another great Shot!!
perfect composition.YEs this place looks very peaceful
THanks for sharing
regards...

Hello Clemente...
Beautiful! Composition... Colours... Details... The perfect symmetry! Lovely calm waters with small ripples bringing life to the capture... Very well done!
Regards,

Vaya !!! es una foto muy muy común , cerca del lago de la Devesa , un lugar precioso con espectaculares puestas de sol ...Me gusta tanto la foto como la nota descriptiva que adjuntas , sacaste buenos colores , a veces cuando en el occidente se levantan brumas el sol es especialmente espectacular , parece un cuadro de Monet ...Me gusta tu foto Clemente

Gracias ,


Miguel

Hi Clemente, thanks for the interesting note! I love the balanced composition of this shot, as well as the deep blues in the water. Thanks for sharing!

Siempre me han gustado estos embarcaderos que parecen sacados de algún lugar del caribe. Aunque este no sea el caso.
Los colores te han quedado fabulosos y el centrado, en este caso que añade perspectiva, tambien queda muy bien. El único pero es ese que ya te han comentado del horizonte un pelin caido a la izquierda. Perdona la pregunta pero acabo de llegar y soy novato, una vez que subes una foto, si la quieres retocar, ¿no puedes cambiarla sin perder los comentarios?
Un saludo.

This picture has surreal quality to it.
Very peaceful, very quiet, very serene.

Clemente

I see the number of critiques and i think there's not much i can add that will bring some new perspective.

Just want to tell you that this is top quality in my eyes. No wonder how did you gain almost 1500 points!

Cheers and keep it real!!!!
