The cloud, a photo from Cagliari, Sardegna

Photographer's Note

I'm a clouds catcher, both metaphorically and literally. I like clouds because they gives you the reference for appreciating the great space in the sky. Without clouds a sky does not appear so big.

Here we are in the island of Sant'Antioco, near Calasetta, in south Sardinia and in the distance one can see the island of San Pietro. Taken Yesterday.

Ciao Donato,il cielo da' spettacolo,peccato che la punta della nuvola in alto sia rimasta tagliata,ma � solo un piccolo difetto di una composizione stupenda e molto brillante,c'e' anche molta invidia per un mare e un sole cosi' mentre qui stasera affondiamo nella nebbia gelata..ehehe...complimenti e buona serata,Luciano

ciao Donato,
anch'io riesco a stare decine di minuti col naso per aria a guardare nuvole, come un ebete. A fotografare nuvole si rischia si scadere nel banale, ma come non farlo? in questo gennaio in cui a Torino non fa freddo ma c'� quella foschia che ingrigisce tutto, quando non si esce se non per andare a lavorare, la vista del mare e di un cielo che le nuvole rendono pi� profondo, mi fa veramente piacere.
quindi thanks for sharing,
ciao, Giacomo

Hello Ingenua

Impressive cloud, yes, but lovely textures on the rock in the fg too! I like the combination.

Hello Donato,

I also like such small puffy clouds and specially the sky is much much more beautiful with them in sunset. beautiful view of the sea and sky. Rather minimalistic capture with mainly two element, but with the great depth. Nice very fresh picture. Were you sailing there?

Kind regrad s MAlgo

Hi Donato,
Nice view well composed with the rock in the FG corner, good depth result, pleasant light capture, pleasant brightness for the sea, tfs.

Cheers Donato
A delightful in depth seascape with firm foreground as a strong base shrouded by superb skyscape and glimpse of warmness. Great control of clarity, abound of good details to enjoy, especially it's a joy to look at the rippled water sheen giving this a real plus point enhancing the whole capture. That's one very fetching image and a pleasure to behold. Congrats
Best wishes

Ciao Donato, mare da sogno e gran bel nuvolone, ottima nitidezza e magnifici colori, quel che ci vuole per ravvivare una giornata da noi grigia, bravo, ciao Silvio
PS per la pensione sto aspettando l'APE

Ciao Donato.
Niente da ridire sulla nuvola, ma la composizione manca forse di qualcosa di verticale o che occupi il piano intermedio. Rimane intrigante il riflesso della nuvola sull'acqua, con effetto quasi notturno sul mare. Raffrontata alla tua foto in bianco e nero pubblicata dopo - che ho gi� recensito - rivela un po' l'artificialit� del digitale.

Hello, Donato!

The cloud looks really beautiful here and is the highlight of this image, it makes a very nice contrast with the polarized sky! The rock in the foreground helps giving very good depth to the composition. Wonderful job!
