Postcard from Baleal..., a photo from Leiria, North

Photographer's Note

Dear family,

A postcard from Baleal! Can you hear the waves as they wash upon the rocks? And how about those rocks? Some of the biggest I've ever seen in my 32 years of existance. I want that house too, over looking the sea in all it's glory. I imagine the curtains fluttering as the wind gently, and not so gently, blows into the house in mid-August; being able, with each season, to see the sun rise and fall. With the sounds of the seagulls amidst the music of the sea, I feel free here..free to be, free to do, free...I may never leave...and there, in the distance; look close because you may miss him, is a lone fisherman hooking his bate and casting his fishing rode into that vast, expansive, what appears to be, never ending sea. Ah, to be never ending...

Love from Portugal,
JCK

Hi, Jennifer!
A very poetical note, in fact I could hear and feel eveything you wrote, also because I have been there lots of times. I know what you are talking about!
Good work, keep taking photographs and put themselves here...

Um shot bastante interessante, pena a qualidade da imagem,
"ruído", e a inclinação para a dtª, seria fácil de corrigir em qualquer programa de edição!

Bom postal. :-)

A combinação entre as rochas e o mar é sempre fascinante. Gosto do ponto de vista e da colocação da casa no enquadramento. As cores e luminosidade estão igualmente muito boas.

No entanto, a correcção do horizonte, o aumento do sharp e uma ferramenta de redução de ruído seriam capazes de aumentar o impacto desta foto.
