The Fisherman, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

I photographed this fisherman in the beach of the Guincho, it fished with a line, the sun already had disappeared in the horizon and used the last solar rays to take off photos.

Hello Goncalo, This is a lovely image of this lone figure on the beach. You might try composing with him off center a bit, but the photo has wonderful mood and atmosphere. Very good exposure and colors! I love this time of day.

Delightful setting here Goncalo, good use of the shore. Should I go for some adjustment it must have been less centering placement of the person and the horizon line - this said I still find pleasure seeing this very moody beach detail

Olà Goncalo
Interessar momento decisivo. Contudo sugiro um crop sobre o céu a fim de fazer subir o horizonte aos 1/3 da altura; isto dará mais profundidade ao primeiro plano.
Obrigado.

Olá Gonçalo,
este pôr-do-sol está também bonito, mas com a inclusão do pescador a foto ficou mais interessante.
Um abraço,

The colours of the setting sun are truly splendid, Goncalo! Soft tones and the water looks so real I can almost jump into it :-)
Composition is lovely also!

Very good work!

Olá Gonçalo,

Está esplêndida! Uma atmosfera de solidão, mas do "tipo agradável"... A compo é simples, mas nada monótona, com a beira da água na enviesada, os vários gradientes de cor e luz, as ondas, a grande nitidez...

No entanto, acho que sofre por teres centrado o horizonte e o pescador. Naõ há mal nenhum em desrespeitar as regras ("centrar é feio, usar os terços é que é"), mas o facto é que elas existem porque na maior parte dos casos é mais fácil conseguir bons resultados seguindo-as. Aqui acho que ficaria melhor com menos areia em baixo e o pescador mais à direita.

Um abraço, José.

vinicio (23423) 2007-10-14 14:24

Wonderful colors of sunset and beautiful sea view, the subject is centered and it flat a bit the image, anyway your idea is good, compliments Goncalo.
Have a nice week
Ciao
Vinicio

Hola Goncalo.
Una imagen muy bonita y muy buena idea haber incluido al pescador como punto de referencia. Lo que más me gusta es la diagonal que forma el final del recorrido de las olas a través de la imagen. Los colores son geniales (como siempre). Un saludo amigo.
Angel.

gunbud (34066) 2007-10-14 17:39

Hi Goncalo,
Beautiful sunset colors that surround this lonely fisherman. Great depth achieved by the vertical lines created by the gentle surf. Very striking reflection in the beach sand.
Regards, Tom

Hello Goncalo,

The sunset colouration is awesome, It's a neat and clean presentation indeed
very well done indeed, my special compliment!

Tony

Hi Goncalo.

The idea of your pictures calls me a picture that I have made this summer (;-)))
I really like your shot: colors are great: very vivid with a great sensation of calm.
The composition is well choosen.

Regards.

Hola Gonçalo,
Una foto preciosa como todas esta serie, con unos colores magníficos.
Me gusta esa soledad del pescador ante la inmensidad del mar.
Bien visto
Saludos

Oi, Gonçalo.
Bravo, ótima captura. Vc pegou bem os detalhes do pôr-do-sol; inclusive a luz tardia ainda favoreceu a formar sombras com ótima nitidez do pescador. Detalhe importante: o movimento da água (as pequenas marolas), também são, para mim, o ponto riquissímo desta foto. Valeu !! Um abraço, Consuelo
