MORABEZA, a photo from Sao Vicente, Barlavento

Photographer's Note

MOrabeza - expression in the creole dialect meaning ‘our hospitality, our friendly way of receiving those who visit Cape Vert.
The bigger shipwreck in the image has the same name "Morabeza"...
A dramatic scenario in a cloudy afternoon.

Rui,
A composição está soberba. Ponto de tomada e demais ajustes tecnicos exelentes. Interessante como eles não cortam para produzir novo ferro.

Abraços

Paulo

All the rusty colours make the image look like an old podstcard. The dramatic overcast sky makes a good background.

Hi Rui,

A really well composed photo of the old rusty wrecks. You make very good use of the lighting conditions and I love the contrast between the grey sky and the stong yellow colour of the beach.

Cheers,

Ulf

Rui, imagem fantastica!!! A composicao com estes dois barcos esta perfeita, as cores de ferrugem nos barcos continuando na agua a frente esta simplesmente genial. Esta e a sua melhor imagem! Vai para as minhas favoritas ...
Abracao, Peter

Olá Rui,
Ainda me lembro deste navio no porto de Lisboa! Cheguei a estar lá a bordo.
Esta foto está bem dramática, com essas cores fortes e esse céu carregado.
Agora, achei estranho ver o Morabeza acompanhado. Quando lá estive no ano passado estava só. Fiz um workshop com o mesmo navio sozinho.
Um abraço,
Francisco

Ola Rui
A perspectiva e as cores estão magnificas.
Gosto muito dos detalhes e do contraste entre o ceu cinzento e os tons de ferrugem.
Um grande abraço
Aires

Olà Rui,
Cette image dégage effectivement une atmosphère de désolation avec ces épaves abandonnées sur le rivage.
Le tout accentué par un ciel tourmenté.
C’est une image très intéressante et bien réalisée !
Amicalement et à bientôt,
Robert

Ola Rui,
Intereseting detail and great light, I also like that little touch of green sea. That's quite ironic that a warm welcome is a shipwreck shoal.

Hi Rui!
It seems to be a scrap yard for ships. Fascinating, somehow morbid photo.
