uma melhor do que a outra. Nessa aqui você se superou com a utilização do filtro. O cenário é bonito e há todo um dramatismo no que se vê. Excelente trabalho, amigo!
Abraço,
Carlos

Ciao Goncalo,
il sole che fa capolino da dietro la roccia ha creato un'effetto molto piacevole e particolarmente suggestivo, regalando una bellissima luce alla scena ed enfatizzando il disegno delle orme sulla sabbia.
Un carissimo abbraccio.
Giorgio

Bonsoir Goncalo
Quelle image ...la couleur du ciel est fantastique avec la présence de ces nuages qui n'en finissent pas et vont vers l'horizon.La lumiére sur le sable est trés belle également et les traces de pas avec la canne à pêche sont un plus.
Bravo et bonne soirée Isa

Ola Goncalo,

Very beautiful beach, you waited to have sun just in the right place. Mysterious and melancholic trails on the sand. Splendid colours.
Regards

Malgorzata

P.S. Will you attend the meeting in Lisbon on 27 March?
Sorry for the smile, I wanted to edit the note and it disappeared :(

ktanska (40087) 2010-02-04 0:02

Hi Goncalo,
Breathtaking beach view. The sun is perfectly placed on the cliff edge. Footsteps are nice foreground details. Some reflections on the left make me wonder if the lens was quite clean.

Bonjour Goncalo
superbe façon de prendre une photo de coucher de soleil, mi caché par le rocher mais qui laisse passer assez de lumière pour doré les nuages et le sable.
Amitiés
Jean-Pierre

john1 (4028) 2010-02-04 5:04

Hi Goncalo,

A beautiful sunset, a nice control of light.

Olá, Gonçalo!
Um belíssimo resultado do filtro e pôr do sol. Cores, luz e as pegadas na areia formam uma tremenda composição. Parabéns pelo bonito momento!
Abraço

pablominto (53746) 2010-02-04 9:01

Hello Goncalo,

A beautiful sundown with lovely backlight effects!
The puffy clouds really look their best as blessed by the rays from the setting sun, taking on fine golden linings...
Well framed, a balanced composition!

Greetings,
Pablo -

gervaso (28177) 2010-02-04 9:42

Olá, Gonçalo!

Bonita vista da praia, com cores sensacionais do pôr-do-sol! O céu está muito bonito também, e gostei do detalhe das pegadas na areia, que tem uma textura muito bonita. Belo trabalho!

Clementi (52514) 2010-02-04 13:22

Ciao Goncalo,
spettacolari i colori del tramonto, questa spiaggia deserta è un luogo ideale per passare dei momenti tranquilli e di pesca.
Giorgio

Miha2ou7 (5162) 2010-02-05 2:14

Hello Goncalo,

A good photo of course, I love that its equally bright in all portions of the photo, so a very nice management of lighting. Good application of the wide angle, the atmosphere it gives off is very good.

Best regards.

Cricri (176) 2010-02-05 2:29

Hola Goncalo
Un instant qui invite a la rêverie au soleil couchant, j'aime les teintes chaudes et les pas sur le sable, très belle image
Good day
cricri

Longroute (19600) 2010-02-05 5:03

This is so good Gonçalo!

you had a very good idea to leave the sun behind the profile of the hill so that you got the sand and the sky perfectly exposed. I like the warm colours and the fine sharpness which shows even the details of the sand. A spectacular sunset and a lovely seaside.
TFS,
Donato

josepmarin (59385) 2010-02-05 5:28

Olá Gonçalo,
la caña de pescar clavada en la arena, y las huellas de pisadas, son los únicos elementos relacionados con el ser humano que podemos ver en esta solitaria playa.
El contraluz está bien buscado y resuelto solventemente.
Me gusta el juego de la luz y las sombras, y los tonos del atardecer que crean una luminosidad y un cromatismo especialmente bellos.
Buen trabajo, amigo.
Um abraço,
Josep

Ricx (13495) 2010-02-05 5:39

Goncalo, fantastioc foot prints in the sand.. This is an image that I would love to take.. It asks so many questions? I feel a beach can say so much of what happened that day before the high tide of the evening comesd in and wipes it clean.. A lovely shot, good and sharp with excellent lighting.. I have noted your setting for next time I get this opportunity. Have a great weekend Rich

Olá Gonçalo. Muito bem captado esse pôr do sol por detrás da rocha. Há uns bons anos essa era a praia da minha eleição, agora já há muito tempo que não vou lá. Lindas cores e óptima composição. Belo trabalho. Bom fim de semana.

Well managed backlighting with superb graphism & silhouettes. Good sharpness & amazing sunset colours. The fg footprints on the beach add texture. Parabens!

Like hoe the sun peeks from behind the rock and also the effect of the sunlight on the footprints. Exposure has been well managed. The sky and the clouds looks great with the sunset filter. Good work!
Um abraco
