Bonjour Hercules

Superbe composition. Le voilier passe juste au bon moment dans le hublot. La rouille et l'usure de celui-ci sont superbement reproduits et la lumi鑢e est bien g閞閑.

Amicalement

Bonjour Hercules,
Cette photo est une vraie r閡ssite, tant au niveau de l'exposition que de la composition.
J'aime beaucoup la pr閟ence des 2 personnages en bord de mer, en plus du voilier.
Amicalement

Hola Hercules,
Tienes un manejo de la c醡ara impresionante, yo no conseguir韆 sacar este primer plano con esa precisi髇 y al mismo tiempo el plano de la playa con las monta馻s con semejante precisi髇 tambi閚. El contraste de planos y de colores hace que la fotograf韆 llame mucho la atenci髇. Es bell韘ima.

Gracias amigo
Juan

Impresionante, no hay vez que me pase por tu galer韆 y un estallido de color se produzca en la pantalla de m� ordenador. Incre韇le contraste entre los c醠idos naranjas y los fr韔s azules, realmente impresi髇ate.

Un saludo H閞cules.

asajernigan (21427) 2010-09-10 8:57

Hercules,
Great shot here! You have used the window as a fine frame for the boat and sea. The contrast created between the frame and sea is outstanding. The lighting and colors are great and the photo has excellent sharpness.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Hercules,

A very creative frame. The colors are very warm as ever. The POV is great and very out of the box. Its like seeing a round frame within another frame.
Perfectly executed.

Have a nice time

Καλλιτεχνική διάθεση υπό τεχνική κάλυψη!

Έντονη χρωματική αντίθεση και όχι μόνο!
Ποιητική απόδοση λόγω Ιθάκης, χωρίς αμφιβολία!

Πολύ καλή, Ηρακλή.
