Decididamente, a melhor das três. Gosto muito da maneira como aproveitáste as árvores para compor a imagem. E as cores estão fantásticas.
FELIZ ANO NOVO
António

Olá Paulo!
Um óptimo pôr do sol para terminar o ano. Concordo com o António, acho esta realmente a melhor, pelas cores do céu, mas também pela silhueta das árvores em primeiro plano.
Bom Ano Novo!!!!

Stunning. Love the silhouetted trees, and the color of the water and sky. Very nice.

Hello Paulo,
This sunset scene looks very romantically and beautifully. Also, as your note says, it is a symbol of this year's end. But each sunset is followed by a sunrise, so the image may be considered as the symbol of new-year's optimistic hopes and a good illustration of your wishes to all of us. Thanks!
A Happy New Year!

Hello Paulo, I really miss "Moinho" cafe house which I used to go from time to time. And I think yours may be the first photo in TE taken from this vantage point. The layers of sunset colours in the sky look wonderful.

I wish you and your family a happy 2010.

Best regards,

Tolga

Hello Paulo,

Um feliz Ano Novo
I looked to both WS, I prefer both pictures against these here.
More clarity and also an excellent composition.
Nevertheless the F/22 this is perfect done.
Splendid rural picture
Pleasant for look at.
I wish you a very pleasant end and new this night.
Very well done, TFS.

Greetings,
John.

Hi Paulo,
Lovely scene-the sea, the pink/golden sky, the sun at the horizon line, the trees silhouettes. I like this moment of the day, between day and night.
Have a great New Year too !

xuaxo (6854) 2009-12-31 10:48

Olá Paulo,
Boa foto para o tema. Gosto muito das árvores dando mais mistério à cena.
Quanto ao "coffee shop" na nota, esse nome pode trazer confusão para quem procura a versão holandesa :-)
Bom 2010!
Francisco

Amaz (11475) 2010-01-01 1:42

Hi Paulo!
That's an absolutely wonderful New Year card, with the sun going down on 2009, ready to rise the next mornig on 2010! A great idea!
The blue and red colours are magnificent and the black silhouettes of the vegetaion give a great effect!
Best wishes for a very Happy New Year 2010!
Marie Louise.

Hi Paulo,

Olá Paulo,
muito bonito mesmo esse momento, as cores e silhuetas formaram uma linda composição, e você soube aproveitar muito bem o momento. Belo trabalho.
Parabéns e Abraço

batalay (41261) 2010-01-03 15:11

Hello Juntas,

In this lovely panoramic shot, you've place the sun right in the center. But oddly it works very well, especially with the silhouette of the trees on one side creating asymmetry.

Happy New Year,

Bulent

Longroute (19600) 2010-01-04 8:40

A lovely and charming image. Not only the sunset colours are very fine but I like the composition with those trees in fg which create a highly graphic pattern.
A good symbol of the closing of the year.

My best wishes to you for
A Happy New Year,
Donato

Hi Paulo!
Amazing sunset. Excellent seascape. Wonderful trees. Superb shadows. Good exposure.
Greetings from Warszawa!

sacavem (18620) 2010-01-06 3:22

Olá,

Bom sunset...o foreground ficou excelente, fico à espera com o teu novo ND :)
Foi proveitoso este nosso "passeio" fotografico, foi pena o GPS não ter trabalhado na perfeição, mas isso é outra conversa.

Boas fotos para 2010,
Filipe

Urs (14082) 2010-01-06 8:47

Hi Paulo

What a fantastic sunset, but not just that, you also have selected the perfect FG to frame it porperly. I think I can call your shot a postcard shot. The saturation of the color hues is as high as the sharpness. WEll done

Warm regards
Urs

adramad (72536) 2010-01-06 17:36

Hola Paulo.
Una panoramica bellisima, en la cual has creado un precioso encaje con el contraste de las ramas de los arboles, preciosa la linea del horizonte con el mar y el sol ya casi oculto con ese cielo que es una belleza de colores. Elegante marco que añade fuerza a la imagen.
Feliz año 2010 y Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.

Ciao Paulo, fantastic sunset with splendid silhouettes of wonderful trees, great colors, very well done my friend, ciao Silvio

siam2005 (1566) 2010-01-07 6:55

Composizione molto bella con le sagome degli alberi ed un incantevole tramonto che crea sfumature di colore armoniose e piacevoli. Bello e di grande effetto il blu del mare.
Complimenti!
Anna

Ola Paulo
Muito bonito este por do sol panoramico no cabo da roca
Gosto em especial do enquadramento com a silhueta das arvores
Um abraco e bom fim de semana
Aires

Hi Paulo,
stunning sunset shot!! The nuances of the sky are superb and the dark shapes of tree and branches are lovely. You did a great job.
TFS.
Have a nice weekend.
Gabriele.

mkamionka (73290) 2010-01-10 1:44

Hi Paulo,
Incredibly beautiful sunset!
I have always so much trouble to shoot a good one, and your work here is a master example for me.
Great composition with all the dark areas which add so much interest and serve as a frame too. The silhouettes are so full of variety and sharp. The colors are impossible! Especially amazing is this contrast of the cold sea color with all the warm tones on the sky.
The most difficult for me is always to catch the sun in the frame and yet avoid excessive burnout. You did a great job here.
Congratulations,
M

gervaso (28177) 2010-01-11 10:35

Olá, Paulo!

As cores ficaram sensacionais neste belíssimo pôr-do-sol, e também gostei das belas silhuetas das árvores. Uma composição perfeita! Belo trabalho!

delpeoples (60342) 2010-01-17 1:42

Ola Paulo, the tones and layers to this photo are magnificentThe blocks of colour give it a graphism not often present in a typical sunset shot. The trees in sillhouette also provide a nice natural frame for this beauty. TFS and enjoy your Sunday, Lisa

jmdias (114220) 2010-01-18 15:26

paulo

um pôr do sol diferente do usual, gosto da presença dos ramos e seu rendilhado na parte superior da compo e dos vultos escuros mais abaixo, tudo isto direcionando a vistra para a luz colorida e a linha do horizonte. lindo trabalho, parabéns

abraços

jorge

pablominto (53746) 2010-01-26 23:18

Hello Paulo,

The sun provides wonderful colours for the sky as it sinks into the Atlantic!
A fine composition as the view is well frames by the silhouetted trees, good diagonal coastline...
Sharp details and good depth!

Greetings,
Pablo -

macjake (98260) 2010-01-29 16:13
