Bonjour Paul ,
Je ne connais pas le Portugal , mais c'est le genre de scčne que l'on peut aussi voir en Espagne . Les murs blancs un peu décrépis créent une atmosphčre que j'aime beaucoup . La composition est simple , mais belle , avec des tonalités claires . Et ces deux hommes regardant la mer : que se racontent ils ?
Amicalement

Hello Paul,
what a nice and exciting scene, I like a lot the way you composed the scene, with the two men talking in front of the sea. Great light and colours too.
Friendly regards.

Quite a photo, this one! It ooze peacefulness, with these two guys standing and chatting (or just staring at the sea) on this white structure.
Very good contribution - peaceful - in these days of turmoil on TE (well, it seems that turmoil started to become less intensive, no?).

I really like the scene, a bit mysterious, there must be something interesting what the people can see, perfect texture of the water,

Bonjour Paul,
The view is so beautiful as we understand that these two men like coming to chat there.
I like your composition which uses perfectly the lines of the architecture to put them in connection with the blue nuances forming long horizontal lines on the water. The light is beautiful.
Have a nice day!
Diane

Bonjour Paul,
Trčs belle région parait-il, l'Algarve. Typiquement portugaise avec tout ce qu'il y a d e traditionnel et d'ancestral derričre.
Face ŕ l'immensité de la mer, calmes, ces deux vieillards ont sans doute beaucoup de choses ŕ se raconter.
J'aime beaucoup l'exposition bien calibrée.
Amitié.
Daniel.

Hello Paul,

Nice scene with the 2 old men on the top of the wall, looking the sea. The constrast is perfectly tuned.
It is perhaps missing the horizon line on the top to share the escape feeling, but it is more my view than mandatory.

Yves.

Bonjour Paul
Un joli paysage de cette région que je n'ai pas eu le plaisir de visiter l'été dernier lorsque j'étais au Portugal. C'est net, bien cadré et les promeneurs animent l'image.
Merci pour le partage et bonne fin de journée.

Hi Paul, I like the emotion that this image transpire, a nice time spent with close friend, and old friend, the landscape is more lively and more wamr with the inclusion of the two man, enjoying the view of the endless sea. Very nice moment. I like it.

bonjour paul,
les deux hommes focalisent le regard et sont judicieusement placés dans l'image, la lumiere aidant, tu obtiens, au final , une belle photo.

Hello Paul,

Une photographie trčs sympa qui apporte une jolie impression d'espace malgré le coté droit qui est fermé par la maison. J'aime beaucoup les deux personnes qui se trouvent sur le balcon. Cela apporte de la vie ŕ l'image.
La mer pourrait presque leurs servir de ciel.

Hi Paul,
Love the angle you took this photo at getting the gentle sweep of this lovel veranda as it takes a sharp turn.
The blue of the sea contrast beautifully with the white-washed walls.
The two old gentlemen give this photo swarmth and scale.
Regards, Tom

Dag Paul,
C'est un beau moment de la vie de tous les jours que tu as capturé ici.
La scčne est agréable, on a envie de profiter de la douceur du soir avec eux.
Les dégradés dans les couleurs de l'eau sont trčs beaux.
Amitiés,
Marianne

siolaw (25824) 2009-06-23 4:32

Salut Paul,
Un bon POV et un expo bien maitrisée avec ombres et lumičres bien détaillées. La scčne est, en plus, assez évocative
Un bon coup d'oeil

Hi Paul,
The compo is as beautiful as it is simple. First the white walls and then the tip of the rocks draw a zigzag that gives much dynamism and the mix of the late afternoon sun and the nuances of blue of the sea aids its attractiveness, as does, and much the presence of those old men enjoying the view.
Regards,
José

Hello Paul!
Another superb photo job with top notch technical qualities! However, what mostly touches me is the well seen, well thought and very well elaborated composition! The title says it all concerning the mood of this great image!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

Hello Paul
Interesting platform which would be a fine lookout point onto the endless ocean...which is also highlighted by the lack of horizon in your shot. Of course without the two persons this would be half the shot as it is now. A well conceived shot & well executed. Good work!
Regards
Angshu

trewheeler (1707) 2009-07-13 11:32

You have captured a nice moment. I really like the crop in that there is no horizon. Nice idea, lovely color and texture. Regards, TW

ellelloo (4927) 2009-07-16 2:41

Hello Paul,
A enchanting photo with a tranquil mood, excellent POV and composition and pleasant natural colours. Good control of light and perfect sharpness. The two men chatting and looking at the beautiful see are a great ingredient in this photo. My compliments!
Greetings from now warm Finland,
Lasse

I like a quiet atmopshere of this one, two old men looking at a rather quiet sea form this terrace.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hello Paul,
this looks so peaceful and relaxed, you photo get the mood across quite well. I could very happily sit on that wall watching the sun sink into the ocean. This evening talk between old people is a good sample of how quite style of life they have. Only in such atmosphere deep things could be done. Really a very good photo with magnificent colours.

All the best.
Stella
