LOOKING SOUTH, a photo from Sao Tome, Sao Tome

Photographer's Note

The quietude of this land is so strong silent that one can hear the moisture entering in our lungs.
Shot looking south with my feet in the equator line. The sun is not set yet but the cloudy weather spread uniformly the light giving this smooth ambiance.
I hope you like it…

A quite sea, with a good view, but I am a bit suprised by the yellowish quality of the sky. It is a result of the filter?

All the best,

Emmanuel

Olá Rui,

gosto bastante da atmosfera dessa foto. Vem a mim uma certa sensação de solidão, não que esse sentimento seja muito agradável, mas aqui funciona bem. Um belo registro!
Abraço,
Carlos

Ola Rui,
You really have captured the atmosphere of heavy, moist heat; I can almost feel it as I view the picture.

A foto acaba por ser interessante por esta harmoniosa e tens cores suaves. O contraste podia estar melhor para realcar o ceu coberto de nuvens.
Muito boa definicao
Um abraco Amigo

Hi Rui

Must be an excellent place especially in the summer. Eventhough the weather is rather moody it looks serene and friendly.

Have a good day and TFS

Rui,
Linda essa paisagem, amigo. O f/16 trabalhou bem pela profundidade de campo.

Abraço

Hello Rui,

I like the hazy feeling here, it is like the colours have been turned off!
Simplicity is appealing, the two boats add some human presence in the vast ocean...

Greetings,
