Oi Paulo!
Umas cores meio estranhas, mas gosto!
Ponto de vista bem escolhido e composição eficiente e atraente!
Nitidez, exposição, formato horizontal & retangular, pp, contrastes e molduras em preto & branco estão ótimos e também me agradam bastante!
Parabéns, abraços e até logo!

Hi Paulo.
Spectacular result, this good work is very attractive composition, the POV with water, the piles, the line of palm trees, the modern bridge, everything has a good harmony, working with the filter in the sky is stunning.
Un abrazo.
Luis.

Oi Paulo,

Gostei muito do efeito das sombras na água. O filtro deixa o céu meio "sinistro"..

Abraço, Maurício

Olà Paulo,

you are presenting here a very atmospheric photo!
This place is very photogenic indeed but the special light and the greately dramatic sky make a formidable composition where you exploit well this pond and the view of the bridge in bg.
Quite on the creative side, very enjoyable.
Abraços,
Donato

PaulVDV (63024) 2010-08-04 11:34

Olá Paulo,
Wow ! Splendid picture with lots of contrasts: the orange colour of the clouds with the blue water but specially the character of both, a very busy sky, with huge masses of clouds, is in full contrast with the very calm water.
You composed the picture well with a nice line of palmtrees leading us to the Vasco da Gama Bridge.
Well done !
Best regards, Paul

Olá Paulo,
impressionante mesmo essa imagem do parque das nações, o contraste de cores provocado pelo filtro ficou ótimo, com um céu bem dramático. Bela foto essa.
Parabéns e Abraço,
Lucas

Hi Paulo

Very interesting and spectacular sunset made by the use of filter, a bit in gray, but it sets a very good contrast to the reflection in the water. The real life view would have been a bit boring, I guess. Well done. thanks for your critique of my net flying fisherman.

Best regards
Urs

Ciao Paulo,
I know this place so well, not only because I have been there but mainly from Aires photos yet this work surprised me again. The colors are incredible: the warmth of the sky contrasts with the cool foreground, and the palm trees add an exotic element.
Beautiful work!

Paulo, não há palavras para esta foto, está demasiado boa :) Composição, cores. O Parque das Nações é um dos locais mais bonitos e modernos de Lisboa, ainda não o visitei com uma atmosfera assim. Parabéns! abraço!

jmdias (115342) 2010-09-30 7:49

paulo

linda foto, a ponte famosa ganhou uma imagem diferente do clássico, com estes postes em primeiro plano que parecem flutuar no ar. lindo trabalho.
fico me perguntando se estes filtros servem para qualquer câmera digital, são caros ?

abraços

paninho (3025) 2010-11-05 4:27

Bom dia Paulo!

Gostei do uso que fizeste do filtro, apenas ligeiramente mas suficiente para transformar aquelas gigantesca nuvens em montanhas! Para além disso aproveitaste muito bem a profundidade! Excelente!

Ola Paulo,
very nice the view of the Marina in the park of the Nations with the gradual Tobacco filter to creates an other aesthetic in the image.I like the reflections on the calmly waters as the cable bridge on the backdrop.

Have a good afternoon,Danos
