Sea power, a photo from Netherlands Antilles, Other

Photographer's Note

The coast facing the open sea on the small island of Klein Curacao is an authentic cemetery of boats and ships, a sort of archive of the storms that regularly hit these places during the summer months

LA FORZA DEL MARE.

La costa esposta sul mare aperto della piccola isola di Klein Curacao è un'autentico cimitero di barche e navi,una sorta di archivio delle tempeste che colpiscono regolarmente questi luoghi durante i mesi estivi.

Ciao Luciano ,
c'est une image étonnante , car dnas nos pays , on ne laisse pas très longtemps les bateaux échoués comme cela sur les plages ; J'aime beaucoup le contraste entre le sable dorée , la mer , et le ciel sombre . C'est une très belle composition , dans sa simplicité .

Accipicchia, qui bisogna consultare attentamente il bollettino del mare prima di mettersi in barca!

Foto ben composta e, soprattutto, ben presentata.

Ciao, buon WE

Hi Luciano
You clicked the shutter at just the right moment, I think the timing is great, freezing the drama in the water. A well composed picture with lovely blue tones and textures. Excellent exposure and the sky is magnificent and the light catching the clouds is a bonus. The water crashing in the foreground looks superb. Spectacular details and sharpness and good contrast. Amazing shot. Congrats
Best rgds

Bonjour Luciano
Une belle image aux couleurs éclatantes et ce bâteau qui a une fin de vie assez heureuse finalement.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Bonjour Luciano
Un ciel bien nuageux,une mer tourmentée,un bâteau échoué sur un sable bien doré.Beaucoup de contrastes.(Moins idyllique que ton avant dernier post).
Bonne journée Isabelle

Mari63 (4173) 2011-02-11 2:51

Ciao Luciano,
luce molto sparata, difficile da gestire. Bella l'inquadratura e il fuoco sulla barca inclinata ed abbandonata. Speriamo che gli occupanti si siano salvati.
Osservo un cielo un po' sgranato, non capisco se sia il mio schermo. Ciao e buona giornata Mari

dkmurphys (77034) 2011-02-11 4:20

Ciao Luciano,
Great catch, shipwrecks are always attractive. Some great tones of colors there, from warm left to cold right. Well seen, have a great weekend.

francio64 (39888) 2011-02-11 4:23

Ciao Lucià,
questa volta ho controllato bene l'indicazione geografica :-)) eheheh!

Scena un pò triste quella che ci proponi, ma di indiscusso fascino compositivo.

Ben fatto! TFS!
Francè

timecapturer (49288) 2011-02-11 4:26

Hi Luciano
a well composed and at the same time sad image, beautiful play of colours here that makes the tragic site all the more poignant. Well seen and well taken.

Regards
Brian D.

BennyV (30420) 2011-02-11 4:45

Impressive shot, Luciano. And a good title for it too.
The yacht is placed rather centrally, but I think that's OK here. Saturation of colours is pushed to the limits, but not over it.

Have a fine weekend.

Benny

jhm (191377) 2011-02-11 4:48

Ciao Luciano,

Splendid clouds to the sky, also a nice sand beach.
The boat is the really eye catcher in foreground.
Sharpness and clarity are fantastic.
Excellent perspective and depth picture, you chose a very well angle.
Perfect captured and good composed, good presentation too. TFS.

Nice weekend,
John.

Ola Luciano ,
Que céu magnifico tem umas lindas nuvens parece uma pintura , bom primeiro plano com este barco destroçado pelas ondas do mar , lindo o contraste da areia amarela com o resto da paisagem , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Bom fim de semana

Sergiom (115636) 2011-02-11 5:25

Ciao Luciano,

Le titre est bien choisi et l'image très belle même si elle raconte un naufrage malheureux. La mer semble encore agitée et elle démontre ici qui est le patron.

Amicalement

Hi Luciano,

Good shot with nice colors. Sad that these boats and ships get cught in the storm.

Hansaphotos (10829) 2011-02-11 6:42

Hello Luciano

Amazing colours here; from the dark sky through the blue-green sea to the white foam and the orange-brown beach. Well composed with the boat in the foreground and a wonderful perspective along the coastline. Very well done! Thanks for sharing.

Have a great weekend!

Best regards, Erling

Kielia (24077) 2011-02-11 9:42

Ciao Luciano,
wonderful portrait of this interesting wreck. Although you have nicely drawn the attention to its sunny side one can see that it is already raddled. Very well working POV and an amazing light. My compliments!
Warm regards
Harriet

Ciao Luciano, bella composizione con la barca sbatacchiata a riva, splendida luce, cielo fantastico e magnifici colori naturali, bravo, buon week end anche da TE, ciao Silvio

faletiz (10113) 2011-02-11 10:24

Ciao Luciano
molto bello il relitto coricato sulla sabbia e il cielo che sembra voler ricordare che basta un nulla a fare questa fine. Molot bella, colori e luce splendidi.
Buona serata
Letizia

LOOOK13 (19046) 2011-02-11 10:58

Bonsoir Luciano.
Encore une image merveilleuse!
C'est la classe à l'étét pur.
Formidable rendu, extremement coloré et trés lumineux.
C'est magique.
Bravo.

Boa noite Luciano

Excellent capture. The colors are magnificents. Surely it is dangerous to sail in Summer there.Superb perspective.

ciakgiak (30) 2011-02-11 14:49

Ciao Luciano,
mi piace molto questa immagine, la barca rovesciata è un bel soggetto, la scena è ben composta, anche se avrei spostato leggermente la barca verso destra. I colori e la luce sono bellissimi.
Un caro saluto
Giorgio

delpeoples (60326) 2011-02-11 15:28

Ciao caro Luciano

Il tuo titolo si dice tutto. Che cielo di grigio, molto dramatico come il mare ruvido. La povera barca sembra essere addormentato dopo il tempesto. Bellissimi i colori, sono molto dramattichi come la foto in genera. complimenti e passa un bel fine settimana.

Un abbraccio
Lisa

macjake (92631) 2011-02-11 15:32

Hi Luciano
how great would it be for the photographer to stumble upon this shipwrecked beach!
what a treasure!
the sky and cloud formations were so perfect for this scene, you couldn't have asked for more.
the lighting is bright and warm, the ocean is active with its strong waves...
beautiful photo
cheers
craig

chris04stop (6805) 2011-02-11 16:28

E così te ne vai in giro fotografando barche che non prenderanno più il mare? Ma che razza di gufastro (leggi uccello del malaugurio). Però questa foto é bellissima. Anche se molto triste. L'albero spezzato in due, che mai più potrà reggere una vela e la barca impietosamente reclinata sul fianco, sono simboli ben leggibili per chiunque. Anche noi siamo barche,spesso nella tempesta. Credo di non dover aggiungere altro. Bravo, sai?
Anna Paola

Sonata11 (34119) 2011-02-11 18:51

Hello Luciano,

npecanhuk (79319) 2011-02-11 19:07

Ciao Luciano!
Beautiful picture!
I specially like its colors, management of light and chosen pov! Composition also pleases me, but, just maybe, the boat shouldn`t be so centered!
TFS - congrats,
Cheers,
Neyvan

Ciao Luciano,
in questa bellissima spiaggia mi sembra un po tutto abbandonato, i colori sono molto belli, la barca, come soggetto principale, ottimo scatto !
buon fine settimana

this is a dramatic scene and a little bit (very in fact..)sad...on this desolated coast
I hope nothing happened to the sailers
Thanks

Immagine drammatica!!
Ma le lasciano là così, le barche colpite dalla tempesta?
Ciao Luciano!!!

Bonjour Luciano!

Enfin j'ai un peu de temps pour commenter les photos des copains!

Comme je l'avais imaginé, tu nous a ramené des belles photos de la bas, comme celle-ci, avec une belle lumière et une très bonne définition des couleurs!

Amitiés

Antonio

mauro61 (53411) 2011-02-12 9:21

ciao Luciano,
espressa al di la' di qualsiasi racconto la forza del mare da questo tuo scatto.
Il contesto naturalistico è molto bello con colori vivi e una bella luce,
buona serata
maurizio

paololg (31448) 2011-02-12 14:40

Ciao caro Luciano,
la scena è bellissima, mi ricorda qualche film di avventura che ho visto da giovane :-) Qualitativamente, ho visto molto di meglio nella tua gallery, il cielo è alquanto rumoroso e ti sei bruciato i dettagli dell'onda, ma tant'è che la scena è talmente suggestiva che si può perdonare anche qualche sbavatura. Buona invece la nitidezza dei dettagli.
Ciao, passa una buona domenica!
Paolo

subhendu_bagchi (26091) 2011-02-12 19:20

Namaste Luciano,
it is indeed a superb composition where we can see a nice daily life action with the tilted boat. Colours are fabulous, specially the contrast between the dark sky with the sand is superb. Light a bit harsh but as a whole it is an excellent one. Tfs.
Best wishes.
Subhendu

Nicou (188486) 2011-02-13 0:36

Ciao Luciano
Colors you created are very impressive as always, it has a strong visual power. Tropical sunlight power to create this vibrant luminous impression is also incredible.
Beautiful composition.
Have a nice day, Hisashi

AKITA (15125) 2011-02-14 21:58

dear Luciano,
an impressive view on beautiful beach and ocean,
the washed boat on the shore looks still new and can be repaired,
but actually it seems to be abandoned there,
dramatic situation and wonder scene indeed,
the light and colors are so beautiful in spite of the boat laid,
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Nard (6972) 2011-02-15 10:54

Bjr Luciano

Une magnifique photo lumineuse et colorée avec un sujet dramatique, ce qui donne un certain contraste entre la beauté de la plage et ce pauvre bateau. Le ciel nuageux ajoute une certaine tension, c'est bien vu.
Cdlt

ikeharel (98834) 2011-02-16 0:48

Broken wooden mast, and boat on it's side is an evidence to a storm hit the coast, Luciano.
The waves and sea in fabulous contrast at junction where mixed, taken with a fine details.
ciao
Ike

jmdias (91967) 2011-03-08 5:34

Dobar dan.
Interesantan i lep pogled, dobar tekst ...
Dobar rad, lepo pokazano, dobar kontrast i perspektiva, lepe boje, lepo uhvacen trenutak sa oblacima koji dolaze sa kisom. Nevreme donosi probleme i veliku stetu.
Nekada je bila lepa jahta a sada ruina prepustena zubu prirode.
Zelim vam lep i uspesan dan, sve najbolje.
Paja.
