The Beach of light, a photo from Algarve, South

Photographer's Note

This beach on Algarve has de name 'praia da luz'. THis means Beach of Light. Het is easy to understand why: the white sand cliffs and rocks reflect the sun what creates a very strong light. A paradise!
With the use of a polarizer we could handel the strong light of midday.

Impressive image with splendid colour! i love this high saturated colour like a slide film. A bit darker exposure makes the beach in distant stand out brilliantly with luminous impression.
Have a nice weekend, Hisashi

Hi,
Wonderful beach composition. It feels like there is so much light in there indeed.
I like very much the variety of color tones, especially the dark ink blue sky abs the green sea.
Very well saturated colors and enhanced details.

Hi Kik,

Here is a simple scenery in its organisation but sophisticated in the way you realized it: great deep colours, sharpness, pleasant lines and depth up to the rocks far away. I like it very much, congratulations.
Best regards.
Guy.

Ciao dear Kik,
in this grey and I cool winter, see the colors of this sky and this sea seems a dream! Surely the polarizer has worked well, but you have managed the strong light in perfect way. Congratulations!
Ciao, have a nice Sunday!

Bonsoir, cher Kik,
Comment ne pas tomber sous le charme devant une telle composition. Comment ne pas se prendre à rêver d'un tel spectacle.
Les couleurs sont un enchantement.
Amitiés.

algarve has nice landscapes and it is ever good to take photos there. Perfect shot with good light, sharpness and impressive colors, typical from this seashore. I visited this region first time in 1968 and I remember those days despite I was only 6 years old

HI Kik

The Circular Polariser has worked beautifully here. That water looks crystal clear and so inviting. It is still so hot here in Sydney at 11:00 at night, I would love to swim here. The beach looks so clean and unspoiled, the colours and sharpness are superb. Thanks for bringing us to this paradise.

Have a good day
Lisa

hi Kik
its been a while since i've seen your gallery, nice to see you back.
i can only imagine how difficult it was to manage this light, you did a wonderful job here.
lots of depth, and i love the brightness in the lower fg, then the ocean, then again brightness on the cliffs.
excellent photo
cheers

Howdy Kik Ko,

Like everyone else a beautiful oceanside HDR scene; with light brown varying land colors, offset by the emerald green sea, then the deep blue sky.

Good job, cheers,
Ray

Hi Kik.
Great intensity of color in this picture, this stunning sky and the emerald green of the sea is quite a visual attraction, the polarizing filter has contributed to a spectacular job. Well done.
Best regards.
Luis.

Hallo Kik,

Deze foto heeft een fijne "Z-vorm" als compositie in de foto, wat weer voor een mooie belance zorgt tussen het strand-zeewater-heuvels/rotsen.
De polarisatie filter zorgt voor warme en kreachtige kleuren en de goede belichting zorgt voor veel details.

Vriendelijke groeten,
Robert
