Night Marina, a photo from Algarve, South

Photographer's Note

What a glorious moment this is for me. Almost two months since my last upload. I´ve been away taking care of my future, which could pass for photography, and so my time in front of the computer is very little.

Ok, know the picture:
Taken in Vilamoura, Algarve, at the beautiful marina. Fantastic the multiplicity of colourful lights, we have green, purple, blue, yellow, etc...
I was amazed with this "Huge and luxurious boats park". Marina´s got something special and unique, they are not for every one because having a Yacht is not quite the same as having a car. You pay a fortune just to have your "boat" "sleeping" on the marina, plus the costs of hiring someone to take care of your boat while you´re away, plus fuel, which in cars is already a fortune and some other stuffs, like finding a hotel near by to sleep, because it´s not allowed to sleep inside the yatch, and the near by Hotels are expensive, expensive, too much expensive.
So, this fantasy world as it´s costs but one of the most fantastic capacities humans have is to dream, and thank God we don´t pay a tax for dreaming (YET) :), because this way i´ll have the biggest yatch, i´ll sleep in the most expensive hotel, and will eat in the best restaurant around. Money is no problem in a world where we create the rules and decided the limits.

Hope you like it, look forward for your critiques.

Very good picture, good exposure and nice colours also the frame composed well but two things, I think that you should sharpen it a little more (sent workshop) and something missing in the frame, something that will interest more the viewer, ofcourse this is only my opinion.

Great to see a new pic from you, Bruno, it has been a while. A pleasant shot from the marina with nice colors and light, and a very good handling of exposure. Well caught with the boats laid to rest in front of the buildings that make a 90 degree angle. Could be a tad sharper like elroyie suggested, but otherwise fine. Hope you'll bring more shots after your break.

For a long time did not see your jobs, Bruno, it is very glad. A good night shot with the big variety of colors and precise details. Well done:))

Perfect composition. The lights reflected in the water are fantastic; this is exactly how I imagine Portugal to be. Also, nice border to finish it off with.

great night picture, I like the colourful building in the background, which are artificially lit.

The boats are in line and in a good pattern, well done

Hi Bruno. I missed your two recent postings. Great to see a posting from you again- wellcome back! I like this very well composed marina pic with its gleaming boats against the colourful lighting of the harbour. Your excellent note is a great sidekick to the pic (or is it the other way 'round). Very fine job!
