this is another great picture Rafael-- the fence is preventing the dune growth interesting I like the wave of the bowing effect and shadow as well works for me, I might have cropped a little from the bottom. well done

Nice shot, i saw this on your website and liked it straight away. The curve of the horzon and the 'drunk' fence are great. Why do they have these fences? They are on every beach, what do they stop?! Great shot.

Linda foto. Adoro o tema das cercas e portões. Quanto a conter a duna, foi uma boa piada:-)

Nice simple but effective compostion Rafael. Nice contrast between the blue sky and fence posts. Only thing that lets this one down is the grass tufts which lessen the impact of the shadows on the sand.

Good one!

A fine composition with the fence of centre and the diagonal shadows. Very deep sky color. Well done!

If simple and quite made up, the richness of the photograph is played large thing. with framing or superb contrast with the sky does not have. well considering.

Very nice composition with great colours Rafael. The curved fence is contributing to the picture very well. Great job.

Beautifully strong and bold colours + a nice balance between the fence and shadow ;-)

This photograph is an invitation to cross the barrier to go to see whether Sir Lawrence is not hidden behind.

Nice picture. Simple,but with several contrast, sky earth, blue white, vertical horizontal, wood sand,...
Well done Rafael.

Nice pattern of the fence and it's shadow. The contrast makes this shot great, especially the deep blue sky and the bright sand. Well done, Rafa.

Dear Rafa, this is a great fence picture, good shadow and contrasty colours dividing the picture into 3 parts, blue sky, green grass and white sand. I just think it is too centered. Please take a look at my workshop. Yours, Jan

Rafael, this is beautifull. The high contrast is great and the shadow gives a way the position of the sun. The sky is so very very blue, well saturated.

After each new picture from S. Pedro de Moel that i see on TE i feel like visiting this place more and more. :)

Creative, very good setting with the fence and it's shadow. Very strong contrasting colours. I like this Rafael

robbertjan (2906) 2004-03-25 6:09

Rafael simple but very effective. I like the blue sky, the composition of the fence and the shadows on the sand. Great!!

Isabelle (9014) 2004-03-25 6:27

very nice composition, Rafa!
i personally would crop even more on the right, but it´s a matter of 'taste' i suppose.
fantastic blue and i learnt something about dunes!
thanks for sharing!

A fine simplistic composition, Rafa. Excellent positioning on the fence, and all the contrasting elements with the sand and sky blend together really well. The shadow is what "makes" this one for me, well done.

Quel oeil photographique vous avez Rafaël, une chose simple prend tout de suite une autre dimension.
J'aime énormément.
Très bien fait Rafaël.
Which photographic eye you have Rafaël, a simple thing takes another dimension immediately. I like enormously. Very well done Rafaël.

great blue sky here and the fence too, very simple, but a picture you can stare at over and over again without getting bored, excellent job here.

Great composition of simple details, wonderful perspective, light and colours Rafael! The fence and its shadow make your shot fantastic! Just great!

Jeppe (18623) 2004-03-26 2:57

Simple and strong composition. I like shadows and the row of poles - interesting structures - very well spotted Rafael.

cecile (4193) 2004-03-26 17:32

très joli jeux d'ombre, j'aime beaucoup, de plus, le ciel est d'un bleu absolument magnifique!

ritinha (139) 2004-03-30 5:09

Olá,rafael!
Aqui se vê que das coisas simples se podem fazer grandes composições. A sombra, o espaço onde se encontra e o próprio céu fazem desta foto mais um grande trabalho.Parabéns;)

ianmcall (1213) 2004-04-12 6:31

Simple patterns, a clean, uncluttered composition and terrific light; well done.

strangiato (76) 2004-04-16 14:31

Very nice composition. I like the way the fence is twisting its way through the dunes, dropping shadows and meeting that wonderful blue sky. Very well done.
