this is excellent! love the single bright star and saturated colours. but I particularly like the barely visible footprints in the sand that lead into the shot. very well seen and presented.
best,
Kristine

Lindos ajustes de cor e de iluminação, Gonçalo. Incrível o f/stop de 22.

Abraço.

This is especially amazing to me because I have TRIED to take pictures of stars, but to make a long-story-short it didn't turn out like this at all :) Very well done, once again great color! TFS

A foto está bonita amigo, gosto das cores e das silhuetas. Porém a estrela mais parece uma sujeira, dificil de se ver com detalhes, logo não sei se o titulo caiu bem. Mesmo assim, uma bela vista desse local.
Abraço

Bonita foto, Gonçalo. O contraste forte entre luzes e cores é muito bom, realçando o grafismo dos elementos silhuetados. O degradée do céu é lindo!
Abraço,
Zeca

Belle photo de ce coucher de soleil qui mèle ombre chinoise et luminosité de différents jolis tons.ce coucher de soleil ressemble un peu a un arc en ciel horizontal.Bien vu, bien pris. Amitiés Thomas
Je reviens

Wonderful colour! This has a very beautiful and sublte gradation from bright near the horizon to dark at the top of the frame. The detail of the star is good too, adding a little interest there and making us think that it is real. Well done!

Ciao Goncalo, bella la stella solitaria sulla sinistra, dovrebbe essere Venere, un pianeta, che gli antichi chiamavano l'astro del tramonto perchè era la prima a comparire nel cielo, grande composizione con magnifici colori, superba esposizione, bravissimo, ciao SIlvio

Hello Goncalo,

Very pleasant evening light! If I try hard, I can even see the footsteps in the sand on the left foreground. Well, I would perhaps have lightened up that area a slight bit, but I really like it as well as is. Nice one!

Greetings,
Dennis

Olà Goncalo
The first star is Venus.
A different composition than the preceding ones but also very interesting with a good management of the exposure.
Cheers.

Hi Goncalo,
Stunning blue sky with wonderful complimentary gold and a striking silhoutte shoreline. The single star might be the planet Venus. Excellent colors, details and sharpness to this fine landscape.
