Companion-ship, a photo from Central, South

Photographer's Note

More of the series taken this week in Villeta.

The two boats anchored to the shore are next to each other. This simbolizes companionship...it is good at the end of the day to share moments with a chosen and loved person.

No cropping, only contrast adj.

I received your nice comments and critiques in the last postings, so I try to follow your suggestions (is not possible to do with only one posting). And I appreciate your nice critiques that for sure will make me improve my works.

Beautiful composition and colours. Good saturation. You have a good eye, Kikvel, but remember to look around the edges of the viewfinder to eliminate any tiny distractions. You could crop the top edge by a mm to eliminate the cut-off boat there and have a clean edge. Otherwise a stunning image. Well done!

I don't know how the reflection of the yellow ship is orange, but it's great. Really great shot. Thank U.

Great shot, both a very pleasant scene and a good colourful graphic inmage. Well seen.

Hanssie (11022) 2004-07-08 8:59

Again, very, very nice colours and the reflection is like fire, maybe a very little crop to avoid "another unknown detail" in the top, but it is wonderful, nice done !

Burnham (2428) 2004-07-08 11:01

WOW, WOW, really this is a WOW picture to me :o) The colours are so clear and the sharpness is spot on. I have nothing negative to ad, I just like the whole thing. Great work.

ninfa_urania (803) 2004-07-08 14:38

Hola mi estimado Kike, que maravilla disfrutar de lugares y momentos como éste, es una foto bellísima, con una atmósfera encantadora. Aprecio los tonos azules del mar que gradualmente van intensificándose a medida que se acerca a los botes, dando una única reflexión apasionada en color rojo-naranja, es también una imagen relajante con vibrantes colores y sensaciones. Gracias por compartirla con nosotros, recibe un saludo afectuoso, que disfrutes de una excelente tarde. *Ninfa Urania*

Cesar Well seen and captured
Just Beautiful the way the yellow becomes orange
Good crop

RAP (1053) 2004-07-08 16:40

Genial... como puedes lograr con el objeto de la foto anterior, obtener una imagen tan distinta, con una reflexion espectacular y colores de primera. Mis felicitaciones.

I am just here to add some points. Everything that needs to be said has already been posted. Exellent shot!

jurgen (2074) 2004-07-08 18:05

Impresionantes colores, dentro de los botes y fuera de ellos. Lo que más me sorprende es que el reflejo del bote en el agua sea naranja y no amarillo, ¿cómo lo lograste? ¿Es este un río o una laguna? Saludos desde Lima.

Quiero la reflexiónes y el contraste de los colores, trabajo muy agradable. El barco primero da un efecto maravilloso. una atmósfera encantadora

cgrindahl (6113) 2004-07-09 0:01

Yes! Well done Cesar, this is lovely. The colors are sumptuous. Isn't this fun?!

nwoehnl (122) 2004-07-09 16:11

One of your best, Cesar - a simple but very effective composition, wonderfully saturated colors, and a well-considered title. The combination of graphical impact and color setting is priceless, and you also got an impressive light setting. Agree with Eva's suggestion about cropping a tiny bit at the top though. Very good work.

Jeppe (18654) 2004-07-10 3:52

Wonderful compostion of shapes and colours - very well spotted and captured - I like the way yellow becomes orange in the reflections - thanks Cesar - I like it very much :-)

laurido (0) 2004-07-10 20:45

Excellent picture and fantastic colors!
Of all your photos this is the one I like best (untill now).

Clochette (8076) 2004-07-11 6:10

I will not talk about the detail on the top, I can see that other members already did ;-)
This image is a pleasure for eyes, the colors are really outstanding. I like the way you played with the sunset light.
However, be careful with light tones : in my opinion, the yellow tone is a bit over exposed.

pridel (233) 2004-07-21 8:58

wonderful colors ! i like this photo very much. j'adore la succession des bandes colorées qui part du reflet dans l'eau, la coque extérieure, puis de l'intérieur, puis seconde coque... et on termine par le bleu de l'eau. La composition est très bien réussie. bravo

cdewet (0) 2004-07-24 10:35

Fantasic colours here, the graphics is superb, Cesar!

Rute_Santos (494) 2004-07-24 16:42

perfect.You really have talent.great photo.Love the colors, sharpeness,rusty boats and their reflections.congratulations

Gix (3565) 2004-07-24 17:09

Hi Cesar,
perhaps are you a pro? The colors are incredible, particulary the red reflex (without post proc.!) on the water and the water self.
My eyes goes everytime fom top to bottom, diagonal from right to left.
Really BRAVO!
ciao, Giorgio

ephemere33 (9743) 2004-07-25 13:23

superbe cliche comme je les aime, magnifiques couleurs, magique la reflection, j'adore cette composition vraiment entourée d'une mer d'huile...encore bravo....amicalement Bi

light (865) 2004-08-05 9:01

Uf uf, que buena es esta foto. Impresionante. Increibles colores y que detalle. Alucinante uso de la luz, muy buena composicion, deliciosos colores, si increibles, lo he dicho antes?

roshangar (1682) 2004-08-11 6:39

It's so graphical shot well done!

danielswalsh (13597) 2004-08-13 1:15

Beautiful Shot Kikvel;
Fantastic color saturation in the water and the boats, makes for great contrast.
Only thing I would suggest is to maybe mask over the odd reflection in the top left hand corner in photoshop.
Great Work!

CoolDan (2516) 2004-08-13 13:39

Wow, Quelles magnifiques couleurs et reflet. La composition est superbement réussie. Bravo Cesar.

elihesamian (26149) 2004-09-01 9:46

umbrellaphotos (1901) 2004-09-02 14:26

This is a beautiful capture. Wonderful colors and composition. I'm suprised you got such a great shot with 1/50 shutter speed and no tripod? wonderful shot though!

ChrisJ (172436) 2004-09-03 2:59

Very colorful & well lit & composed.

kinginexile (2598) 2004-09-26 23:18

Super strong colors, it makes the pix like an hyper-realist painting.

the fiery reflection of the boat in the blue of the water is vividly captured and looking as solid of the boats. That is a pix that catches the eye, for sure!

aznegrao (10316) 2004-10-28 9:01

Belissima imagem Cesar, essa luz e um sonho. Gosto muito do close apenas no detalhe dando mais força a fotografia. Lindo trabalho.

chabrenas (7) 2005-03-29 4:20

Beautiful. 1/50 exposure is slow enough to give a sense of water flow yet still show details of the eddy by the boat's bow. Looks as though you were using moderate focal length, too - your hand is steadier than mine!

smartins (1967) 2005-03-29 4:30

Hi Cesar! Very nice work!
I love the composition, the colors and the refections on the water. Great light and sharpness.
Well done ;)

Regards,
Susana

will-b (236) 2005-03-29 4:41

Sheer brilliance in composition. Looks a tiny bit overexposed, but that's a minor point; its still an excellent shot.

mjdundee (4663) 2005-04-10 7:56

A photograph like a painting - very nice!

michalu (810) 2005-05-31 6:26

Hallo Cesar !!
Very good compostion, colours and shapes are wonderful.
Regards
Michael

jafadabret (56501) 2005-10-20 2:49

Bonjour César
C'est du fauvisme ! Une vraie peinture très agréable à voir. Ce cadrage serré est ce qu'il faut pour mettre en valeur les couleurs qui sont quatre : le vert, le jaune et l'orange sur un fond bleu.
Jacques

droonsta (423) 2006-03-22 3:39

great photo, excellent use of colour.. maybe the photo is slightly too saturated? but overall very good photo and great composition and subject matter

Very well done!

managua (902) 2007-02-15 6:38

Fantastic portrait Cesar, congratulations!

rigoletto (34279) 2007-02-15 6:51

Hi Cesar,
Beyond the sharpness and compo, the most appealing merit of this wonderful photo is of course its colors. Really wonderful charm you have here, which directly touches the heart of a boat freak like me. I liked it very much.
Cheers,
Deniz
