Hi Paolo,
Gorgeous shot. What a beautiful and picturesque spectacle. Colours are fabled and rich. This is a fascinating natural symphony. Splendid work. Have a nice weekend, thank you

Hi Paolo,
Not just a sunset, but one with beautiful colours in the sky (i like the yellow) which is not easy to control. Extra point for the bird, makes it very interesting to look at.
Have a nice weekend, Henk

Saludi e trigu Paolo,
Is that picture to tell us that you have booked your summer holiday already ?
I like the typical Paolade (tm) framing with the play between colors at this time of the day andd the detail of the flying bird that stands out well in the sky due to its contrast.
Buona giornata,
Jean-Yves

Pronto Paolo.

The best in the picture, from my POV, is that bird.

Anyway, excellent colours of course!

Tc, Oscar

Hi mister Motta,
A success once again with your "painted sky", so saturated, just as needed, the variation of colors is awesome
You have for sure a good view in your sardena house ;)
Have a good week end

ChrisJ (70443) 2007-04-20 5:41

Hi Paolo

Nice colour contrasts of yellow / orange, against the blue sky, in this outstanding sunset. I like the graphism of the horizon & silhouette of the solitary bird. Ciao!

Hi Paolo,

The different colours to the sky are extraordinarily, great contrast with the dark part in foreground, very nice composition too.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

eza1701 (3343) 2007-04-20 7:48

Hi Paolo,

It is a wonderful sunset picture with a great blend of colours, I also like how you caught a bird in the shot too.

Best regards,
Paul.

ben4321 (9807) 2007-04-20 8:25

Massive contrast and richly saturated colours, but I think you stayed just the right side of going too over the top. It's a fine line but I don't think you crossed it (although you almost did!).
The sunset sky is nicely framed by the silhouetted horizon and the dark vignetting of the top corners.
I also think that without that bird the image wouldn't have worked so well.
Good stuff Paolo.

Cheers,
Ben

WhiteRose (10) 2007-04-20 9:15

Fabulous colours. Your timing was good to put the bird in the frame.

Best regards

Hi Paolo!

Your title says it all about this excellent photo. Amazing colours in the beautiful clouds (almost the whole colour pallete is there) and as a bonus a bird enjoing freedom. Congratulations!

Ciao, Hercules

Bonjour Paolo,
une peinture sur pixels parfaite, avec des couleurs radieuses, sur une photo prise à un des meilleurs moments du coucher de soleil.
Le cadrage inclut juste ce qu'il faut de terre.
Cet oiseau qui passe attire le regard sur lui, de suite, c'est bien vu.

Amitié de Belgique.

Daniel.

Wish you a very good Sunday * Ciao Izzet

archimatica (13344) 2007-04-22 17:32

Con la tavolozza tanto cara a Mondrian, ma senza le sue giometrie, ne risulta un tramonto carico d'effetti e allusioni.
Complimenti per le valutazioni raccolte.
Ciao
