Silhouette At Sunset, a photo from Schleswig-Holstein, West

Photographer's Note

This picture was taken when the tide was coming in. This is the Wadden Sea, with enormous “mud flats” at low tide. You can see a workshop picture that I took around 4 hours earlier, at roughly the same place.

I have also added another workshop picture taken around four minutes later!

Dagebüll (Mooring North Frisian: Doogebel; Danish: Dagebøl) is a municipality located at the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein in the Nordfriesland district, Germany.

The Wadden Sea (Dutch: Waddenzee, German: Wattenmeer, Low German: Wattensee or Waddenzee, Danish:Vadehavet, West Frisian: Waadsee) is an intertidal zone in the southeastern part of the North Sea. It lies between the coast of northwestern continental Europe and the range of Frisian Islands, forming a shallow body of water with tidal flats and wetlands. It is rich in biological diversity. In 2009, the Dutch and German parts of the Wadden Sea were inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List and the Danish part was added in June 2014.

Amazing difference 4 hours earlier on the same beach, Gunnar, and a great sunset photo collected.
Perfect fire-ball of the sun, just as it "touched" the horizon, and beautifully managed the man silhouette against the golden sky.
Have a nice new week,
Ike

Hej Gunnar,
En vacker och stämningsfull bild som du har exponerat väl, och i rättan tid. Siluetten bidrar onekligen till atmosfären. Extrabilderna är också fina, och i synnerhet den tidigare hade mycket väl kunnat duga i egen kraft med sina vackra silvertoner.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Ciao Gunnar
un tramonto di quelli che non si dimenticano con il cielo che si tinge di rosso.
La tua composizione è semplice e nello stesso tempo romantica. Ottima la gestione della luce che permette di non perdere alcun dettaglio delle infinite variazioni della luce e delle ombre.
Ciao e buona serata
Romano

papagolf21 (152607) 2015-01-11 10:24

Bonsoir, cher Gunnar,
Cette composition romantique à travers cette silhouette en ombre chinoise se projetant sur un coucher de soleil est très réussie.
Bravo !
Amitiés.

cornejo (61504) 2015-01-11 10:45

Hello Gunnar, very good picture of this beautiful sunset with silhouette, beautifully captured in this interesting image with good sharpness, nice light and color. Very good and interesting job well done, congratulations my friend. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work.

Good night and happy start to the week.
Best wishes from the south of Spain.
Angel.

ourania (51103) 2015-01-11 12:17

Hello Gunnar,
a lovely sunset with rich warm colours and interesting bright clouds. I like very much how the man's silhouette rises from the dark foreground. The texture of the sea has the same graphic definition all the way to the horizon. The orange reflection that joins the beach and the horizon is delightful to follow. The workshop pictures are very fine too. I especially liked the wide afternoon view, its light and colours as well as the scale offered by the people. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a good night,
Ourania

siudzi (34141) 2015-01-11 12:40

Hello Gunnar,
Beautiful and quite romantic post this! Like the way you built the composition based on the layers with a superb quality in both foreground and background which I can understand it wasn't an easy task. Superb work! TFS.
Best,
Gosia

emka (158860) 2015-01-11 14:09

Hello HGunnar, Great idea to present the tides on the photos taken in different times. But the most attractive is of course the sunset photo, even if this time there are nobody in red (or maybe this man? but we can't see it). Superb timing - fantastic view of the ball of sun that soon will disappear in water.

This is a kind of photos that I like very much, a minimalist shot where we can see only the silhouette, great moment and fantastic colors of setting sun, compliments

Hello Gunnar,

Your two workshop pictures be both very well.
We get a less of this type picture, real nice.
I like the sun and reflections about the sea, also the dark silhouette of the man makes your picture real more nice.
An excellent composition, nice presentation too.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice week,
John.

Bonjour Gunnar,

Drôle de constater comment deux couchers de soleil peuvent être aussi différents d'une image à l'autre si on regarde la photo de ton voisin dans la galerie .Cette photo raconte une histoire.

Hi Gunnar,
Fine scene at that picturesque moment of the day. Very artistic, well taken.

Royaldevon (86480) 2015-01-12 8:04

Hello Gunnar,

I can imagine standing there, too, watching the fire-ball of the sun slowly descend and cast its warmth into the sky.
A very romantic scene, beautifully captured, the red pathway leading succinctly from the off-centre figure to the off-centre sun.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

macjake (98544) 2015-01-12 12:43

Hi Gunnar

Hi Gunnar,different times and different people inside for a great post made by 3 beautiful pics.I agree with you for the choice of the main post on the gallery,the sun in this moment is a winner for the composition,but the others 2 in the WS are truly beautiful,original work made by simple elements but a great class,i like it!

pierrefonds (115572) 2015-01-13 16:21

Hi Gunnar,

The distance between the shore and the horizon is giving depth to the composition. The presence of the person is adding life to the scene. The sunset is giving nice colors to the sky. Have a nice dya.

The serene moment of the end of the day is well captured. You balanced your light very well. And I like this intersting reflection in the water of the sun.

adramad (73452) 2015-01-14 9:21

Hello Gunnar.
A wonderful sunset with a sea that gives a nice textured effect with these soft waves and glitter, perfect clear sky and sun shape, silhouette of man, contemplating the beautiful moment is a good bonus to the composition.
Very nice colorful, giving more appealing image.
Magnificent, brightness also the good lighting.
Well done. I like it.
Beautiful photos also in the WS.
Have a good day.
Best wishes.
Luis.

berek (50518) 2015-01-14 22:08

Dear Gunner,
a sunset of those you never forget with the sky turns red.Your composition is so romantic. Excellent management of light that will not loose any detail of the endless variations of light and shadows. Take care.
Regards
Burak

abmdsudi (95869) 2015-01-15 19:13

Hi Gunnar
A shot with delightful satisfying colours when the sun is dipping and a great place to watch the sky drama. The silhouetted fig makes this image, of course the main show is the fireball and its golden glow to anchor the eye in. Nice capture, Congrats.
Best regards

gervaso (28435) 2015-01-16 1:43

Hello, Gunnar!

Very nice silhouette captured in this wonderful sunset! Excellent colors and the reflections on the water are great! The clouds are also a beautiful detail! Excellent composition!

larsy (28) 2015-01-16 8:23

Härlig solnedgång. Mannen i förgrunden gör bilden mer levande. Det är väl enligt skolboken att ha en förgrund på sådana här bilder?

Waylim (25436) 2015-01-16 8:51

Hello Gunnar,

Very beautiful image, the color of the sunset is gorgeous, the sky is fantastic with the cloud like brush stroke in the sky as the canvas. The reflection of the sun light in the water is magical, the inclusion of the foreground and the silhouette of the man adds depth and completes the composition perfectly.

A very tranquil mood and solitary atmosphere.

danos (110407) 2015-01-17 1:20

Hello Gunnar,
nice the snapshot with the sun to be ready to disappear hiding behind the horizon with the dark silhouette of the man to adds life in the scene.I like the created reflection of the sun on the calmly surface of the sea with the all scenery to makes the image unique.

Have a good WE,Danos

annjackman (23019) 2015-01-18 5:44

Hello Gunnar,
This is a simple and very effective photo. I like the juxtaposition of the reflected sun on the water and the silhouetted figure. Beautiful clarity and perfect timing.
Kind Regards, Ann

batalay (41261) 2015-01-18 10:54

Hello Gunnar,

In this simple, but well composed shot, seen in silhouette is the man seemingly gazing wistfully at the setting sun. The late summer scene has a lonely atmosphere.

Please, don't worry about critiquing them, but take a look at two similar photos, but shot on this side of the pond: #1 and
#2.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Kielia (24077) 2015-01-19 7:09

Dear Gunnar,
who can resist this magical atmosphere? You have captured an amazingly beautiful moment. A very well composed impression with a fantastic mood. Thanks for sharing!
My compliments!
Warm regards
Harriet

Didi (61589) 2015-01-21 3:24

Hi Gunnar
Very good lights management
Interesting diagonal between the man's head and the sun
Little distortions lens on the right horizon
The right position of point of view is a perpendicular position face to the man
Best regards

Buin (42580) 2015-01-24 3:38

Hallo Gunnar!
You caught a wonderful calm and peaceful atmosphere in these pictures - and a beautiful one! The long orange reflection of the sun and this silhouette of the man are lovely details in your photo. A captivating sight!
I also stood there many years ago ...
I think in background one can see Föhr island, isn't it ?
Greetings to you both from Siegen where it is snowing today! Have a nice weekend!
Frank

jacquest (19269) 2015-01-25 10:13

Hello Gunnar,

The sunset in itself is beautiful and was worth a picture, but the silhouetted man adds very much to the composition, tells a story, and brings memories of our own past contemplations.

Best regards

Jacques

janjan1897 (2301) 2015-01-25 14:26

Hello Gunnar,
This is a beautiful image, with the silhouetted man contrasting effectively with that intense sky. The image has a thoughtful feel to it, almost of longing, perhaps. You captured a moment of beauty, with perfect timing. Excellent image, very nicely done.
Best regards,
Jean

Hallo Gunnar
You show a much-refined tableau, featuring the silhouetted saxophonist performing Pier Faccini's "Chansons du Crépuscule"!
This relaxing view does 'great good' to overworked minds!
Auf wiedersehen

boa (8039) 2015-02-17 1:11

Hej Gunnar,
verkligen en fin stämningsbild, tagen i perfekt ögonblick också när solen balanserar i horisonten precis innan den börjar försvinna. Personen på bilden förstärker kompositionen, utan honom så hade mycket av djupet i bilden försvunnit också. Vackra färger och en behaglig stämning som sagt. Snyggt!

Hälsningar/
Boa
