Photographer’s Note

RIA FORMOSA (QUINTA DO LAGO)

Ria Formosa wetlands are of vital importance as a habitat for many aquatic bird species. In addition to its ornithological significance and importance as their winter sanctuary, the Ria Formosa provides shelter and feeding grounds for several aquatic and migratory species, as well as being a region of great botanical interest, including areas of sclerophyllous scrubland, salt marsh and dune vegetation, which must be preserved.
Besides passing the bridge in wood have access to one it magnifies beach.

The protected area spreads throughout the municipalities of Loulé, Faro, Olhão, Tavira and Vila Real Sto. António and totals some 18.400 ha.

excellent photo, Luis, I like a lot the clear colours and how you have composed the photo, it creates a very nice feeling of wide open space, even with the contruction looking a little like a cage. the strong line of the bridge is a great way to lead the eye into the photo, excellent work!

with best regards,
Kristine

Perspectiva e cores muito bonitas. Só é pena ter a linha de água ligeiramente inclinada para a esquerda. É muito pouco mas nota-se.

I like the way you have framed the image with the use of the strucure in the foreground. The sunset colours are very appealing making the sky a very attractive background. Well done
