At the end of the day, a photo from French Polynesia, Other

Photographer's Note

I did a mistake uploading that image!
this is the old and first scan of the picture.
the better version is on the Workshop!!

sorry!

At the End of the Day

Tell me what do you get
At the end of the day
Is it all worth the while
Can you put on a smile
Does it fill you with pride
All the feelings inside
Or do you just wanna hide
Can you still walk away
At the end of the day

At the end of the day
Are you lonely or sad
Do you think you've been had
Is your heart ever glad
Or are you afraid
'Cause you don't have it made
That you don't make the grade
Or of what people say
At the end of the day

Instrumental solo

At the end of the day
Is your framework intact
When you clean up your act
Do they keep coming back
Do you say follow that
Pat yourself on the back
Do you get what you lack
Do they give you respect
Or is it after the fact
At the end of the day

Tell me what do you get
Is it heartachce and pain
Does it keep coming back
Everytime that it rains
When I see you again
Will it still be the same
Am I really to blame
'Cause I don't play the game
At the end of the day

At the end of the day
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
Got to kneel down and pray
At the end of the day
Got to kneel down and pray

Ciao Paolo
Nice view with perfect colours (I mean WS of course). Interesting shaped clouds on this sky after Sun went to sleep...
Regards

Hi Paolo
The WS has a cleaner feel but the original is just as good in my view - the noise (which is very slight) adds a bit of life to the scene I think. Spectacular colours and a great framing make for a very pleasing atmosphere. Lovely shot.
Regards, Susanna

Hi Paolo,
Nice colours..
Nice view as well..

Floydian (30970) 2006-06-09 4:34

Goodmorning Paolo,
Well, for me this one is much better...!!!
The other has to much vignetting in the corners and the colours are not comparing to each other.
I have made some small corrections in a WS, maybe you like it.
Regards, Henk

great colours.. wonderful scaling and composition.. ooks like a nice place to relax and watch the spectacle! thanks

Hi Paolo
I like your mistake, it is a brilliant shot. The silky colours of the water are amazing, it looks like baking foil, nice and smooth and shiny. A good catch of the cloud patterns and nice contrast between the landscape and the sky. Great stuff.

I'm not sure which one I like best as they both are good. In both cases the best bits are the lower clouds and the stunning reflections
Kath

jinju (14265) 2006-06-09 4:53

The vignetting is a bit strong and I think that Floydian's workshop was really successful in that regard. Colors lovely as usual, I think that this version isnt worse than the one you uploaded. I get the sense that it is a bit sharper infact.

jrj (34843) 2006-06-09 5:02

Hi Paolo
I look also to the ws - but for me I think the version here is better as it is more 'soft' in the upper part which I find ok.
Anyhow a moody sunset with the fine reflection and the good placement of details and horizon. Nice one.

sebinho342 (19329) 2006-06-09 5:03

OHhhh myyy gooooodddd !!! Paolo !!
What a wonderful shot ... I can feel the end of the tropical day from here, the little wind breathing and cooling faces, what an amazing end of day colors
I love it
Great :)
PS : even the name of this atoll is dreaming : "Bora Bora" :))

Luan (12971) 2006-06-09 5:50

Lovely sunset, we leave a fantastic region ;o), the sun, the sea, the pizzas, the raviolis ;o) Nice shot Paolo, to tell you the truth, I like this one very well more than the WS !
Luan

Jeronimo (1382) 2006-06-09 6:22

Very nice shoot and colours Paolo. I like this photo. Well done.

nex (2738) 2006-06-09 6:50

Calme, peacefull and simple, that are the words which I can use on this great compo
have a nice day
Ciao

barrufeto_77 (28888) 2006-06-09 6:51

Hi Paolo.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooow. The colours and the composition is charmful. Impressive!!!

My compliments, Oscar

andante (7092) 2006-06-09 6:52

I like the mistaken photo, it has a nice red oversaturation and well compensation with the vignetting. As usual, great shot. I like how the lyrics play to image.

Cheers,
Enrique

Jribeirosantos (1924) 2006-06-09 7:56

Hi Paolo ..
I have to say that I prefer this one ... :) SOmetimes mistakes happen for a reason :)
This is a very beautiful shot!:)

Congratulations!

Joana

P.S. Wonderful note :)*

hugolef (4913) 2006-06-09 9:34

Hello Paolo
even without PP your picture is beautiful, but your WS is very instructive about what you can do with a picture ... well done
Just see and hear the music
Regards, hugues

jlynx (12647) 2006-06-09 10:13

Hallo Paolo,
I see Paolo that You like photoes of the sunsetting like me. I am not surprised, we are not ourselves for which such photoes matter. The beautiful photo, the splendid picture! Unusual are which colours charmed into being reaching sun. The colour of the gold and the red mix each other, giving the unrepeatable effect. The splendid quality of the photograph. Congratulations!
Jurek

well captured

gaby (19819) 2006-06-09 12:57

Paolo bonsoir - j'aime les deux mais au risque de te surprendre, je préfère celle là à celle du WS (l'uniformité des chaudes couleurs me plait) -
c'est très réussi et très agréable à contempler -
merci et bonne soirée
Gaby

Ciao Paolo,

The workshop is real good, but this one also has it's charms I feel. I like the strong orange colors and the big sky. Well chosen view and the scene is well framed.

Have a nice weekend,

Paul

veronika (6058) 2006-06-09 15:35

Hi Paolo. To be honest, I like this picture much more than the one in the Workshop. Beuatiful colors and the sky. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Michael

Hi Paolo!
Great sunset shot.Fantastic gold,bronze and copper tones.The little clouds look great.
Regards;leo

Izobretenik (1268) 2006-06-10 7:32

I love this one too. I took a look at the workshop version and I think both have something special. I must confess the second one seems to have a better sharpness and the colors seems like they have been enhanced and for that, I would rather look this one.

Anyway, I love the clouds. Looks like they're fleeing something, something scary :) and the colors gives a very dramatic impression.

sergecross (3438) 2006-06-10 8:13

Paolo, very professional shot. I like the balance and the contrast looks great. I like the frame and the soft lightning.
Sergio

jhm (211734) 2006-06-10 10:44

Hi Paolo,

Sorry, but I find this picture much better than your WS, the sharpness a the clarity his very well, certainly for a scanning picture!

Best regards,
John

Gerrit (62042) 2006-06-10 20:47

Hi Paolo,
I like this one also with the more monochrome tension.
Beautiful crop and compo.
Thanks and regards, Gerrit

tinamunk3 (6408) 2006-06-11 5:02

Ciao Paolo,

I actually like the colours of this image better than the WS. The combination of colours looks really amazing. The small hills and the cloud formations in different layers looks fantastic.

Nice one.

:) Tina

ben4321 (9875) 2006-06-11 5:35

Beautiful sunset shot. What more can I say, its magnificent.
Ben

elmec (12210) 2006-06-11 6:04

Hello Paolo!
Great work!
I like the dark clouds and their reflections - lines on the water!
Very good composed!
Regards!

cherryripe (21033) 2006-06-11 6:08

Hi Paolo
Beautiful sunset. I think I prefer this version to the WS as the colours look more natural. The scan is good, just a slight bit of noise in the sky. The water is stunning.
Regards
Nikki

aloyho (6798) 2006-06-11 22:28

Hi Paolo,
It looks like an exciting day after all with the colours and low hanging clouds. I must say I preferred this version. The glow on the water surface is very appealing. Great shot!! All the best.

greg64g (11193) 2006-06-12 2:04

Hi Paolo

for me that's nor a mistake the red color is beautiful, would you mind eplain me how you process it ?
thanks
greg

alekpet (4663) 2006-06-12 8:04

Hi Paolo.

To tell you the truth, I don't like the WS at all.
I like the golden red on the original, more sharp and more sunset like in hue. I wouldn't change anything from the way you posted it here, the bottom part of the image is outstanding!

have a nice day, Aleks

designsoul (17843) 2006-06-12 11:32

Ah, Paolo, fantastic shot, no wonder you got so many comments, it is so beautiful. The tonality of the end of the day is awe-inspiring! Wonderful Van Morrison to add... really lovely!
