Hi Mario.

Excellent sky!!! Superb! The compo with the man running and the sky behind it is a great idea.

Nice picture!

The thumbnail suggested a fish eye, but I see now it is ultra wide angle. I like the position of the man and how all the lines point to him.

tres joli

Great compo with really dramatic sky making a very strong image. The man is perfectly positioned for a nicely balanced image.

Great shot Mario, the sky is tremendous and so is the light from the pending sunrise. The runner is perfectly placed and the sharpness and clarity is spot-on. Excellent, well balanced composition. Best wishes, Vicky

I love how the light has been balanced here and the curve of the sea and sky are ace helped by the dynamic wide angle.

Hi Mario,
This is some incredible sky! I also like the composition with the running man and the sky dissapearing in the same distance.

Sometimes I've had trouble making a subject stand out in a dark environment. You really mastered this in this shot. The sky is impossible to make more beautiful. Composition is perfect, the man placed in the right spot, and the clouds are dancing in a nice arc. Superb!

Hola Mario.
This is really a beautiful shot. The sky colors with the reflection on the sea and the man running on the dark sand give you an excellent composition. Very well captured.
Very well done. TFS.

Hi Mario, I like how all the lines converge at the lower right of the picture: the sky, the water, the shore line. What I find the most beautiful is the way the clouds seem to be heading to this point. Excellent light, beautiful composition. Regards, Yvonne
