A new day in a life, a photo from Viseu, North

Photographer's Note

My cousin married last day and i take this photo in a old house, where we make the party. This it's a old irrigation system. I try to take a photo with same feeling of this day. When i take this i think :
- the water it´s "running" like live, this water only was in this place in this moment;
- The left side it's very sharp, is the past the rigth side it's brigth and we can't see very well, it's the future.

Good luck Marta,

I hope you like this "story"

Very stricking POV - did you get wet ?! I like the contrast between the 'soft' textured water and the hard edged lines of the chanel.

Well spotted.

Nice work here, I like the bright light and the infinity of the water too

good work

A nice analogy you came up with in your note, Rafa, and a good photo to illustrate it. Your use of lines builds a strong perspective that is supported by the way the light is handled.

Nice shot Rafael,

You captured the light perfectly in this shot, Rafael. And your note makes the composition, extra special. Very well seen. Great angle.

The light flare really makes it. I like the different look of the two sides of this small canal. Excellent note. Congrats to Marta. Well done, Rafa.

Very interesting composition, the light gives very life has the composition and the perspective is superb, the reflections in water too. Good shot

Rafael, this is an artistic shot...and very smart analogy. Lighting is mysteriously and dramatically portrayed. A simple yet powerful shot.

A nice analogy with life & art.

This is wonderfull Rafa. I really like the thought behind this, the story. I loved this photo from start but reading your note lifted it even more. I love the light you have captured. And, my best wishes to your cousin :)

PDC muito boa. Gosto como a imagem vai ficado esfumada à distância o que combina com a luz suave.
