Hi Goncalo,
Wonderful sunset from Ericira beach. The sun is in just the right place and the small ponds looks very beautiful. The tobacco filter was well used here.

Warm regrads

Hello Goncalo,

This is very impressive and beautiful photograph, so it's interesting to see the landscape dyed to sunset color and calm sea. It's superb for the contrast of golden color and silhouette in this side, too. And, the sun sinking to horizon creates an additional impressive effect.
Good composition and excellent tone/clarity.

Warm regards,
mikio

jhm (192935) 2012-01-06 2:32

Hello Gonçalo,

A nice weekend,
John.

jlbrthnn (76041) 2012-01-06 4:25

Oi Gonçalo,
O título se encaixa nesse quadro compartilhado entre ouro e ébano. A composição é boa com uma reflexão sobre a água do poço operado sozinho. Uma esplêndida criação artística. Excelente qualidade. Bravo.
Bom dia.
Amicalement
Joël

timecapturer (49288) 2012-01-06 4:32

Hi Goncalo
a beautifully mellow and irresistable sunset shot. Wonderful colours and impressive composition with perfectly placed reflection. Glorious!

Have a great weekend - regards Brian.

pierrefonds (94859) 2012-01-06 4:37

Hi Goncalo,

The reflections on the water are assets to the composition. The point of view is sending my eye toward the horizon which is giving depth to the composition. Using a gradual tobacco filter has a special effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Hola Gonçalo.
Que imagen tan maravillosa de este bonito lugar, que pena que cuando yo lo visite y fue hacia el atardecer, estaba nublado y no pude disfrutar de esta maravilla.
Me encanta el fuerte contraluz entre la linea de costa, con ese color amarillo-dorado del cielo y su bonito reflejo en las calmadas aguas del mar.
Fantastica imagen, me encanta.
Te deseo un feliz fin de semana.
Un abrazo.
Luis.

Ola Goncalo,
nice the sunset view with the colour tints of the sky using the Tobacco filter to make it unique.I like the foreground lagoon with the reflections on it to makes the scene dreamily.

Have a good weekend,Danos

Es una composición preciosa.

Hello Goncalo,
The silhouetted FG against the sunset are fabulous. The golden tones are perfect - beautiful work that has been very well composed.
Regards, Ann

Royaldevon (65352) 2012-01-08 3:37

Ola Goncale,

This is a most beautiful sunset. It is rare to see it so beautifully golden as opposed to red or amber. The secret to the succes is that well-positioned pool which reflects the light and draws together the f/g and the g/g so nicely.
The sun appears like a magnet, attracting everything towards it!

Have a lovely Sunday,
Bev :-)

Cricri (176) 2012-01-08 7:47

ChrisJ (153928) 2012-01-09 5:58

Hello Goncalo!

A spectacular sunset with attractive, warm orange colours. Good exposure helped by the natural filtering effect of the clouds. Superb reflections, silhouettes & graphism with good sharpness. Tfs!

sacimar (36979) 2012-01-09 6:20

Hola Goncalo,

me gusta esta imagen, esa luz tan oscura crea una atmosfera muy interesante, el efecto del agua tambien ayuda, muy bien visto,

Un abrazo,

Sergio

jemaflor (126969) 2012-01-09 13:06

Hi Goncalo,
Wonderful light, this golden tone is so lovely, great effect with the reflection on water, very well managed and captured, tfs.

siolaw (38294) 2012-01-09 21:45

Hello Goncalo
I like the compo with the off centred sun attracting the eye strongly.
The general darkness of the scene gives some mystery to the atmosphere!
Greetings
Laurent

macjake (93243) 2012-01-11 1:42

Hi Goncalo
The wide angle lens came in handy here, as did the Tobacco filter...i'm gonna have to get myself one of those!
the lighting in the sky looks great, has a real romantic atmosphere.
great areas of light and shadow.
Cheers
Craig

Angshu (56760) 2012-01-11 4:05

Ola Goncalo
Lovely sunset shot where your exposure has been very good! The best part is of course the small puddle left behind by the tide reflecting the last light of the sun. Beautiful!
Um Abraco
