Hi Goncalo,

The length of the tennis court is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the tennis court. The morning light is giving nice tints to the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Goncalo
not exactly Wimbledon, but an amzing looking place. Love the architectural elements here it has a Romanesque look about it. Great use of the shadow to give impact and a sense of scale to this beautiful arena. Magical!

Regards - Brian.

Hi Goncalo,

ikeharel (98846) 2012-07-12 4:07

Ola Goncalo,
I like the natural colors and light collected.
maybe a POV of 4 or 5m towards right side would show less of shaded area, and more to the depth of scene.
Anyhow, it's nice to see the many archs of the fine place.
Boa tardes,
Ike

delpeoples (60326) 2012-07-12 4:52

Ola dear Goncalo

Another [hoto in your series of the National Sports Centre. I like the perspective here, all the angles and the colours are brilliant. I would perhaps have changed the POV a little to cut out more of the shaded area on the left. Nice work, thanks for sharing.

Hi Goncalo
Simple clean landscape nicely balanced and good sense of depth. The contrasty colors between the earth color and blue sky make the shot for me. Good control of highlight throughout, sharp and excellent clarity. Well done.
Best regards

Hello Goncalo,

The warm earthy colors of the reddish orange sports field contrast superbly against the blue sky to give a wonderful warm cold color contrast. Good sharpness & perspective. Tfs!

Hi Goncalo
Game, Set, Match!
I love playing tennis!
Here in Canada, we don't have many Clay court surfaces, hardly any at all.
If i come to Lisbon one day, we'll play a match here! haha
love the wide angle, the contrast of blue and orange and just the overall scene.
cheers

Fine use of the wide lens with the perspective well drawn. The exposure has been handled admirably & the repeating arcs on the corridor provide good interest. A well done shot!
