Game of skies, a photo from Guanacaste, West

Photographer's Note

It is the sky of the pacific Costa Rican who can play freely with our sensibility. The composition from the same point of view can be totally different in fractions of seconds, and to enjoy ourselves with incomparable expressions of beauty and color.
Beach Conchal in Guanacaste's province is one of these inlets of dreams where the green forest is mixed by the sea and the sky to do a scene of natural brilliance.

Playa Conchal en la provincia de Guanacaste es una de esas ensenadas de ensues donde el bosque verde se mezcla con el mar y el cielo para hacer una escena de esplendor natural.

Hi Rafael!
Really nice piece of natural art you captured here!

I like the different colours in the sky in those short magic moments just before the sun hits the horizont.
What makes your shot special is the fact that those rays in the background are damned pretty.

TFS

Felicidades, excelente foto
slds, gdo.

Hi Rafael. That sure is one dramatic sky. It's really something to behold how it transitions from deep blue on the top all the way to deep gold near the horizon. You did well in retaining the highlights of the sky. tfs Rafael.

Indeed a beautiful image, Rafael!
Great contrast and fantastic atmosphere created/conveyed in this one.

Hola Rafa,
Esos rayos del sol que captaste en el horizonte junto con el color naranja me encantan, la incorporacion de las nubes y las siluetas hacen de tu atardecer una composicion atrayente.
Saludes,
Iris

Te fuiste de viaje?

Es una foto magn凬ica, Rafael. Su simple visi hace aflorar muchos sentimientos, es emocionante. El cielo que has conseguido captar, con estas nubes que le dan un toque dram疸ico y espectacular, los rayos del sol que se filtran a trav駸 suyo, los colores tan hermosos, las siluetas en contraluz de la costa, y el mar oscuro con una l匤ea del horizonte muy bien definida, crean una composici realmente adorable.
Es maravillosa, pasa a ser otra de mis favoritas.
Un cordial saludo,
Josep
PS: No crees que viviendo momentos como el de tu foto, y viendo esta maravilla, el mundo deber僘 ser mejor, m疽 justo?

Hi Rafaelito,
an amazing "game of the sky". There is no painter who could do it better than nature itself. A great image. I like the rays of lights over the horizon.
Wonderful lightning and colours.
Strong picture,
Nino

Ola RAfael,
Una luz increible con colores muy contrastadas.
Pienso que tu has sacado la foto en el momento ideal.. cuando el sol estaba detras del cerro pero todavia presente.
Excelente

Hola Rafael,
This sky is stunning with the clouds lit from below by fading sun that paint the sky gold in blazing rays abovr the near slihouette of the sea and cloiffs. Your lovely note describes the sky well.

Saludos
