Santiago Fort, a photo from Setubal, South

Photographer's Note

Santiago Fort

The Santiago Fort is situated in a place of great natural beauty: the gorgeous Sesimbra bay, towering over the village’s beach, and is also known as Marinha Fort, Praia Fort or even Santiago Fortress.
The structure was erected in 1648 considered to be the most important fortification of the Sesimbra bay, probably built over a previous edification from the 16th century that, for the large amount of attacks and destruction was already in ruins.
The present structure was projected by João Cosmander, and as from 1712 was the headquarters of the Military and Ammunition Government and was also destined to serve as summer residence of the Portuguese Princes.
The Santiago Fort was classified as a Public Interest Monument in 1977.

bravo Goncalo
a superb blue/orange colorimetric contrast, a good diagonal and 2 personnages, small but playing their role in the compo
have a nice evening

Como sempre esse filtro, sua marca registrada, tem um encanto próprio. Aqui a inclusão das pessoas e o mar que parece crescer rumo ao horizonte deram um ar meio mágico à foto. Parabéns.

Hi Gonaclo,
Beautiful look from this old fortress out to the lovely turquoise sea and the beautiful late day sky.
Rich textures to the old stone work and the magnificent golden sky.
Regards, Tom

Hello Goncalo
I didn't realize how large this area was until i looked at the people to the right. The size perspective is so very helpful.
its almost 2 photos in one, with the ocean aqua blues, mixed with the orange vast sky.
Lovely work!
Cheers
Craig

The tobacco filter works very well here..the colour of the sky contrasts well with the blue of the fort and the water. The people sitting on the ledge, tiny, gives an idea of the scale. Well done!
Um Abraco

Hola Goncalo.
Una bella marina desde la terraza del fuerte que con las torres de guardia crean un buen punto de referencia en la foto, una gran perspectiva con buena profundidad, el efecto de contraste de color entre el cielo y el mar resultam sumamente atractivo.
Te deseo unas Felices Navidades en familia.
Un fuerte abrazo.
Luis.

pierrefonds (114556) 2009-12-24 8:21

Hi Goncalo,

The sunset is giving nice colors to the sky, to the sea and to the fort. The point of view takes my eye toward the horizon which is giving depth to the composition. The subject is well framed. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Pierre

gonçalo

uma foto simples. bem minimalista.bom uso da cor no céu e os detalhes vagos no primeiro plano. as encostas ao longe parecem uma seta indicando o centro da imagem, o mesmo local para onde convergem as nuvens

abraços
