Marina Lamps, a photo from Malaga, Andalucia

Photographer's Note

The distinctive blue lamps and skyline of Benalmadena Marina on the Costa de Sol in Spain. With Moroccan and Gaudi influenced styling of the buildings that grace the edges of the marina, it is a large complex of walkways, bars, shops, restaurants and apartments.

I apologise for the necessity to add a watermark to my images; I am trying to make it as discreet as possible. But in recent weeks I have discovered that some of my images posted on TE have been hi-jacked and are now being used promotionally on other websites, without my permission. I like this site and want to continue posting so this is the only way I can see to perhaps discourage this problem.

Hello Brian,
The colours of Southern Spain down to a T. Love the composition and the use of the framing lamps that are really quite elegant. Light, colours and clarity are all irreproachable.

Good morning Brian,

This is a fabulously powerful and striking photograph with strong composition and a cacophony of vibrant colour throughout.

Vibrant blues, reds and yellows are scattered throughout this interesing picture and it's all topped off by some very elegant Spanish architecture. Very well seen and taken with lovely areas of light and shade, fine contrasts, perfect exposure and stunning details and sharpness.

Fabulous!

Kind Regards,

John.

Love the colours here Brian, they leap out in the TN and brighten my Monday morning with their delicious boldness. The narrow vertical crop is super and I like the way you have used the vertical lamp posts to guide your composition and cut. Have a lovely week. Rosemary

Ciao Brina
una foto eccellente stupenda nella composizione e ricca di colori saturi.
Ottimo anche il taglio che evidenzia i due lampioni.
Uno scatto per il quale ti faccio i miei complimenti
Ciao e buona giornata.

Hi Brian
Yet another shot I knew was yours before I even looked at the photographer's name. :) There are so many elements in this photo and yet you managed to come up with a graphic and eye-catching composition. That's a skill of yours I noticed before and I truly admire.
Last but not least - lovely colours too!
Have a nice week

Hi dear Brian

I really like this tight vertical framing here, which accentuates the perspective of the lamp posts. Beautiful vivid colours and contrasts, the light is superbly even and well-balanced. Thanks for sharing, have a lovely day.

Cheers
Lisa

Hi Brian,

I was going to comment on one of your two more recent pictures, but just couldn't help going back to this one...love it! You always have such well balanced exposure, and this is certainly no exception, you've hit the mark yet again. The contrast between the blue's and yellow's is amazing, and the slim vertical format suits this to perfection. So many neat shapes and elements to take in here, fantastic shot! It's vibrant in color and feels very lively. Thanks for sharing this cross section of the boardwalk.

Al the best,

Jason

Hi Brian
another vivid color scheme :)
even in this very narrow patch of a photo there is so much going on! Alot to keep our eyes busy scanning all the areas.
sharp as a tack, and great to see you getting your blues in :) nice to see the wispy white clouds too.
lots here!
cheers

rigoletto (34279) 2013-05-02 13:48
