hi Carlos,
I like a lot the colour here, the warm gold tone creates a nice feeling of calm and relaxed summer evening, just what I'd like to have now :) super-smart composition with the fountain blocking the sun, but also adding a lot to the scene with this frozen amber-like texture and colour. excellent work, my compliments.

have a great weekend,
Kristine

Olá Carlos,
la imagen es pura creatividad!! me agradan las doradas tonalidades que invaden la escena y las tonalidades tan suaves del ambiente. El sol coincidiendo con el surtidor de la fuente de agua es un detalle muy interesante y de calidad técnica!!
Hermosa vista del Parque Tanguá!!

Feliz fín de semana,

Jordi

Oi, Carlos
Linda esta tomada usando um ponto de vista baixo para ressaltar a fonte que serve de cortina ao sol, e também, a textura da água. Ficou excelente esta captura, muito real. Chegamos a sentir o barulho da cascata e o frescor da água. Parabéns. Um abraço, Consuelo

Hi Carlos,
Excellently planned photo. It's amazing how well the water actually blocks the suns light! The image is crystal clear, the sky is great and the people in the photo give a nice sense of life to it.
Great shot!

Hi Carlos,
Nice use of the water jet to filter the backlight! The framing is spot on, and it has a pleasant luminosity.
Sharp and clean work.

Hi Carlos,
not an easy picture to make, light can be very tricky here. But seeing all the detail in the foreground i have to admit you did a great job here. the warm toning brings a nice mood in the photo, kind of dreamy effect which i like to see...very nice.

Boa tarde Carlos!
Curitiba é uma linda cidade! Tem uma arquitetura moderna interessante e é bem cuidada, limpa! Apresentou ao Brasil e até para o mundo soluções urbanísticas diferenciadas! Seus parques são uma beleza!
Nesta sua fotografia, muito bem realizada, vc nos mostra essa beleza de cidade em harmonia também com a natureza! Linda tonalidade, excelente nitidez!
Parabéns!
Um ótimo sábado prá vc!

Hi Carlos,
one of best example of backlight management I've seen in ages. You leave this kind of shots to me (DON'T!) and... see what happens! LOL!!!
The picture is razor-sharp, with great overall detail. Speaking of which : I'm amazed to see the amount of detail you've been able to manage in FG! Wonderful warm tones, awesome texture, GREAT shot!
Have a super-weekend, buddy. I'll see you soon.
Ciao,
Fulvio.

Bonsoir,
belle photo de cet endroit avec ce superbe jet d' eau qui devant le soleil l' empèche de surexposer votre photo.
Au contraire cela donne une superbe et douce lumière qui baigne votre prise.
Jolies couleurs, grande douceur et bonne netteté de l' ensemble.

Aquela nuvem me lembrou a mão da famosa pintura A Criação de Adão. As cores ficaram lindas e essa textura da água com a idéia de movimento também está ótima.

Olá Carlos,
bem feita essa imagem, a posição da fonte tampou extamente a área do sol que ficaria superexposta, criando belas silhuetas. Só não entendi bem o uso do polarizador, apenas roubou alguns pontos de luz seu, correto? Ou foi esquecimento mesmo de tiar ele da lente?
Parabéns e Abraço!

Um contraluz deste género não é nada fácil mas aqui tu conseguiste uma imagem muito boa como uma definição excelente e imensos detalhes. A cor quente do pôr-do-sol está espectacular e o céu está muito bonito.

Hello Carlos. Interesting fact about quarries linked by a tunnel which is rather hard for me to imagine. The shot is stunning. The fountain with the sun directly behind it freezes the sharpness very well. Nice perspective against the vibrancy of the sky. Thanks for sharing and best regards. Jusni

ola carlos

nice share of this corner of brazil. i like the sun hitting through the fountain and the pastel almost mono-color cast: just, for my taste, a little bit more breathing room (for the fountain) at the top would have been nice.

warm regards,
kristaps

hola amigo,
i like your idea to cover the sun's brightness by "using" the fountain to shield it- that's smart! the result is something that doesn't glare the viewers' eye. a relaxing color result.
happy mother's day, amigo.

Carlos,
que coisa e essa? Voce nao tem foto nova? Eu ja vi fotos suas deste lugar anteriormente eu creio que foi neste mesmo local que voce fex algumas tentativas de juntar diferentes tomadas para compensar a falta de ND grad. Tou certo ou tou errado?
De qualquer forma, esta imagem e digna de ser apresentada.

Olá Carlos,

Em primeiro gostei de ver a resposta sobre o polarizador, o TE é um site muito interessante porque partilha opiniões, ensinamentos,noutros sites não é assim apenas dizem se gostam ou não das fotos.
Em relação a este poste tenho a dizer que é uma bela composição e um bom trabalho de pesquisa de pov e enquadramento para no final dar este resultado. O mais já foi dito.
TFS,
Um abraço,
Filipe
nota: também uso sempre o polarizador menos de noite :)porque a minha maquina tem um f curto.

Linda, Carlos. O repuxo a fazer de filtro solar resultou muito bem. Gosto muito desta atmosfera escurecida e as silhuetas estão bem colocadas na composição, mas o melhor são aqueles tons no céu...e as gotas de água do repuxo, claro. Bem bonita.
Abraço,
