Petit Pays

La na céu bo é um estrela
Ki ca ta brilha
Li na mar bo é um areia
Ki cata moja
Espaiod nesse monde fora
So rotcha e mar

Terra pobre chei di amor
Tem morna tem coladera
Terra sabe chei di amor
Tem batuco tem funana

Oi tonte sodade
Sodade sodade
Oi tonte sodade
Sodade sem fim

Petit pays je t'aime beaucoup
Petit petit je l'aime beaucoup

Lovely scene and well placed boat, though maybe you've overdone the contrast a little, and could have raised the lower tones to make the boat stand out a bit more.

Hi Paolo,
spectacular colours and fine composition.
Regards, Gerrit

Hi Paolo, what a great reference in your note, cesaria evora, what a beautiful voice and rythms, i like to listen that song when i want to relax :)
Love the PP here, very saturated picture, beautiful view (from another island ?), love the play between light and shadow.
Good ! :)

ciao paolo,
well, in my humble opinion you should "enliven" your sunsets, as you did in this image,
somehow at this point i'd expect more from you than juts an ordinary (or even extraordinary) plethora of colours;
i'd loke to encourage to step few steps further and record some "action", if i may;
best wishes, jerzy

Quentin (5280) 2006-10-19 5:10

Hi Paolo
What a beautiful sky. The colors are great and it is even not burn. The whole composition with the boat the water and the forest behind is very beautiful. This is a great shot. Well done.
Cheers
Quentin

Bonjourno Paolo

The title translates as 'Little Country', if my French is correct. I like the superb juxtapositioning of yellow & blue is this marvellous, tropical, sunset. Ciao!

An exploding sky - really beautiful. The colours are managed very good.

Bonjour Paolo,
Moi qui n'était pas attiré auparavant par les couchers de soleil, les oeuvres (je pèse mes mots) que je vois sur TE m'ont complètement réconcilié avec le genre. Des paysages merveilleux comme celui-ci ne peuvent laisser insensible. C'est beau ! Merci.
Gérard

Unusual yellow sunset. With plenty of blue left in the sky the two colours contrast well. Beautiful reflection too.

Ciao Paolo

Although sunsets earn the rumor to be a typical cliche in photography I find your result - technically and from a photographing pov - really interesting and well managed.

A la prosima volta

Beau coucher de soleil ! Les couleurs sont belles et j'aime bien aussi cette barque et les silhouettes des arbres !

gary91 (15348) 2006-10-20 22:22

Hello Paolo,
What a superb sunset and incredible light. But although i is really beautiful, I think it is lacking something in the foreground to attract the view. Still a wonderful image...
Regards. Christian
PS - Thanks for the song :D

john_c (24666) 2006-10-22 11:04

Hi Paolo,
A romantic shot of these great islands with that special Polynesian light and allure. I like how the silhouettes of the islands still allow one to discern their details. The boat enhances. A very fine, romantic capture.
John

Simply beautiful, Paolo, there is not much more to say.
