Kissed by the Gods Photo

Photographer’s Note

Still in Eastern Liguria, that small corner of Europe kissed by the Gods.
From the Roman times that area of North Italy was well know for the wonderful bays, sea, weather and hills.

A sunset view from the waterfront of Lerici, looking to the other side of the Poets' Gulf trough the ships on the harbour.

Image NOT processed. Colours and light are the original one.

Che l'immagine non sia processata ci posso credere, ma certo che quel tramonto però ti ha regalato colori stupendi!
Buona la composizione con le navi in basso e ampio spazio a quel cielo con quelle nuvole stupende.
Un'ottima foto!

Hallo Paolo

thank you for sharing

Hi Paolo
I love silhouettes against beautiful orange skies. I believe you about the colours. What's great here is that we can still make out lots of details of the boats which adds depth. The format works well here.
Regards
Nikki

Hi Paolo
This shot oozes warmth, with its lovely evening colours. Liguria is high on my list of places to visit! The repetition of boats and the reflections on the water make for a very pleasing shot. Have a nice day, Susanna

Un bellissimo cielo, ricco di sfumature dorate ed arancio che si riflettono al meglio tra le tranquille acque del porto. Personalmente avrei incluso una porzione più grande del porto stesso, ma immagino che la tua decisione sia stata dettata da un motivo preciso, come la presenza di eventuali elementi di disturbo.
Bravo.

What a sunset! The colours and the reflections are amazing. There is still enough light to show detail in the boats in the foreground. Nice one!

Ciao Paolo,
non solo quest'angolino della Liguria, ma pure tu sei stato baciato, come minimo, dalla fortuna per avere potuto assistere a un tramonto, che é a dir poco pittoresco, considerando la totale "naturalezza" dell'immagine. Complimenti e buona giornata!
Attila

Hello Paolo
Très belle réalisation, les couleurs sont splendides et les bateaux en ombres chinoises donnent un effet très graphiques.
C'est très bien vu
Amicalement

Bonsori Paolo
les couleurs dorées rendent bien notamment sur la surface de l'eau. Bon choix de cadrage de ces silhouettes de bateau. Du beau travail

Hi Paolo!
A great view with great colors.
Good composition with the many boats and their masts.There is enough light to see some good details at them.The orange color of the sky and the reflections at the lake is fantastic and I like the contrast with the dark silhouettes of the mountans in the distance.
Regards,Leo

Hello,
I like the ranges of lights and of colors in the sky,

The framing and the alignment of boats are superb.
Cheer for the glance.
