Great work you have here, Fernando !!! Very well composed and it can be seen, that still, in that persons mind are only waves and sea. Exellent simplified work.

Uma fotografia optima cheia de movimento e de beleza.
As sombras estao boas com boas cores e contraste. As garcas estao mesmo lindas e o amarelo e vermelho das etiquetas do surf board dao um tom engracado a foto.
Uma composicao maravilhosa.
Gosto muito...

Again a beautiful beach shot, Fernando. Here you really found a successful framing, with the surfer guy well placed in the scene and giving him space to walk into. The shadow on the sand is a good detail, and I also like how the border between water and dry sand is a diagonal that divides the frame into two areas of identical size. Nice one.

Oh!
Fernando!!!:)
Thanks a lot,I appreciate your friendly works,I take my hat,Fernando:)

The shot has some nice elements of Galmeida's atmosphere:)which I like,and here all collected in one frame,sea surfer,seashore and seagulls!
with a fine composition.
I like the way you captured the man in a a time when he was seeing towards seagulls,it guides our eyes to that side of the seagulls,nicely done,Fernando.
and Thanks again Friend.
Yours Truly
Mohammad

Bom trabalho com o (a) surfista estrat鑒icamente colocado (a) no canto esquerdo numa composi鈬o bem proporcionada, equilibrada e com alta defini鈬o e cheia de "movimento". Parab駭s, Amigo Fernando ..

Boas Fernando, sou um apaixonado do mar, surf e sol... como tal s� posso gostar destas suas fotos. Dentro em breve irei colocar tambem algumas fotos deste tema... espero que goste! Abra輟, Mario

Nice shot! It reminds me of one of mine :) To be honest I'm surprised to see a surfboard - the water looks very calm from this angle!

Technically there appear to be slight jaggies on the edges of the surfer, so I'm curious as to how you resized it - consider using Bicubic next time if you're not already using it. I'm also wondering whether a lower camera position would have brought the sea/sky into the shot a bit more. I like the placement of the surfer on the left third, and I also like the diagonal of the sea going across the image.

Well captured :-D

me encantaria estar ahi ahora mismo,

me gusta la diagonal que divide el agua de suelo firme

un gran abrazo

J� � a segunda cr咜ica que escrevo que depois n縊 aparece nas actualiza鋏es...Espero que esta fique: A composi鈬o simples e muito bem conseguida, assente nas linhas de 疊ua ,textura de areia e sombras com o elemento vertical do surfista . A cor t厓ica das praias do norte.Boa captura.

fverde (1699) 2005-02-13 18:01

Os temas relacionados com o mar s縊 sempre tratados por ti de uma forma muito prria, transmitindo uma sensibilidade e uma criatividade caracter﨎tica dos teus trabalhos. Esta foto � o exemplo disso mesmo. O enquadramento perfeito, a perpectiva levemente inclinada da separa鈬o entre a areia e a 疊ua do mar, a cor dos elementos e a inclus縊 das gaivotas (que equilibram a fotografia) s縊 pormenores que n縊 escapam aos olhos atentos de quem a observa. Uma grande composi鈬o Fernando, obrigado por partilhares connosco este momento!

singuanti (15250) 2005-02-13 18:15

Very beautiful end of the series "Sea". Very nice composition with the surfer on the left site of the picture.Looks like he is saying to sea and the gulls " good bye!, but I"ll be back soon.Very well done.
best regards

interesting pic, looks like something from Baywatch, but where are the ladies? I like the composition too here, well done

Didi (61589) 2005-02-14 12:02

Tr鑚 bonne composition avec le sujet positionn� en point fort.
L'arri鑽e-plan plus sombre donne un bel effet � cette image.
Merci Fernando.

Muito boa composi鈬o com o assunto posicionado em ponto forte. O fundo mais sombrio d� uns uns bonitos efeitos � esta imagem. Obrigado Fernando.

aznegrao (10316) 2005-02-14 15:49

Muito intessante a atitude do surfista observando os passaros na praia, criando intera鈬o na imagem. Otimo trabalho Fernando.
Sauda鋏es.

Good POV with the sloping beach and the running surfer and movement to the shot :)

Niara78 (0) 2005-02-18 12:46

This photo makes me feel like I am part of the scene, standing on the beach myself and watching the surfer come out of the water. Very lively atmosphere, and beautiful colours of the water.

Hi.
Great shot with this diagonal and this movement of the surfer.
Nice framing and good light.
The shadow make a interesting touch.
Nice.
Fred

lukkul (510) 2005-04-22 20:47

Ainda n縊 comentei esta foto. O enquadramento para esta composi鈬o est� no que podemos dizer de movimento e arte de capturar a ac鈬o. Boas cores, angulo de vis縊 e uma foto que capta algo que existe em Portugal mas que n縊 tem tido a divulga鈬o necess疵ia. Por isso manda mais!

Um abra輟!
Luis

jemm (256) 2006-01-28 14:28

Hi!
I like the graphical composition of your shot, especially the movement and the line between land and water. However I finf it lacks colors, you might try to render it in B&W to emphase more its graphical part.
Regards.
JM

Ol� Fernando,
De volta ao mar e ao surf, venho deste modo dar o meu contributo opositor � 伃tima cr咜ica efectuada a esta fotografia. De uma maneira geral, tenho a tend麩cia a ignorar tais entradas, mas vejo que n縊 se conseguiu conter...
Obviamente que a cor n縊 � um problema aqui e at� � interessante o contraste da pouca cor (o azul no fato e o s匇bolo vermelho na prancha) numa fotografia, quase a preto e branco.
Gosto do surfista em fim de actividade a enquadrar a cena e o seu olhar para as gaivotas, ou talvez para os seus colegas ainda l� dentro. Boa captura no momento certo. Parab駭s e n縊 ligue a cr咜icas irreflectidas!
Boa semana para si,
Um abra輟 amigo,
Ricado
