Jorge, the colors in this one are really fine and rich and tusing the rock to block the hot spot is well executed well. Nice capture.

Hi Jorge,
Extremely vivid colors adorn this rocky beach. Wonderful depth achieved by your POV, excellent idea to use the big rock to filter the bright light.

Hello Jorge,
This is a beautiful sunset and a scene full of great details. I like the different sizes and shapes of the rocks, and the way the sky gradually changes from red to orange and then yellow. It is so peaceful and calm...

crckt (7094) 2008-02-16 8:28

Hola amigo!
WOW, You have a gem here! Very good idea of using the rock to block the sun's rays. Love these saturated colors.
Well done,
Shaeri

Hola Jorge

Un gran escenario para una excelente toma. El manejo de la luz y de la sombra ha sido muy bien aplicado, permitiendo observar un cielo incandescente en el plano posterior, y unos elementos detallados por una luz suave en el plano anterior. La perspectiva es genial y el encuadre está muy bien equilibrado. Gracias por compartir

scobert (5333) 2008-02-16 16:34

Hello Jorge,
What a fantastic sunset! These are some of the most colorful sunset clouds that I have ever seen. This is a stunning seascape with beautiful textures and bold "in your face" colors. You live in such a beautiful and diverse part of the country. You will never run out of subject matter to photograph. Marvelous! Christine says "hello".

Hi Jorge

I like this sunset colors of such rich mix of tones to make it striking and you chose a good composition of FG stones and beach view to make it work even better.

Great work. TFS

Hi Jorge, A truly awesome sky, the red hot feel to the photo oozes out, the rocks are wonderfully silhouetted & angle beautifully down the shore line, you have composed this scene brilliantly &, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Jorge,
A nice landscape and an interesting work you’ve done with colors. Is it just saturation or you’ve done some painting.

Hi Jorge! I saw in your gallery your enough important pictures! I liked and I will try her to study better! Here me impressed your idea you put the sun, low in the rock, so that you take a improbable moment chromatically and artistically choice! I praise!

hello Jorge,
spectacular colours here, I like a lot how the fiery red and yellow contrasts with the cooler tones of the water that looks like a liquid silver. smart decision to use the rock to block the sun, and excellent composition with both the triangle of the shoreline and also the line of the rocks leading the eye towards the horizon. excellent work, my compliments.

with kind regards,
Kristine

Hi Jorge

Gorgeous sunset. I love the silouhettes of the rocks and then the bright burst of orange and yellow in behind. Great details on the beach with all the pebbles. Good strategy to use the rock to block the bright rays.

Have a great weekend,
Tosca

Hansaphotos (601) 2009-12-02 9:17

Hello again Jorge

Excellent composition with fantastic colours and the rocks. Good idea to use the rock in the foreground to block the sunrays. Very good light and great effect of the low sun at the water and at the beach. The sky is really good. Great work, Jorge. Thanks for sharing. I`m adding this to my favourites. Have a great day.

Best regards, Erling
