Nice done: I like this place, and the girl let me understand the dimension of these dunes. I think that it must be a very interesting landscape all around.
Good color and a simple, but strong composition

Very nice composition. The colors are great. Very nice soft contrast between sand and sky. Love the shadows the girl is casting on the sand. Good job.

Hi Antonio,
The sand and the skin its almost the same colour, the girl feel the balance between the sand and the sea. The three colours, blue for the sea, the red/blue for the dunes and it blue for the sky, pleasant for looking Antonio.
Best regards,
John.

nwoehnl (122) 2005-08-15 14:58

A classical photo from you, Antonio - a beautiful girl in the splendid Brazilian beachside scenery. The elementary landscape with the dunes meeting the deep blue water is ideally framed, and I like how the girl is seen including a double shadow and a reflection on the water surface. The soft afternoon light adds to the beauty of this one. Very nice.

ishai (4097) 2005-08-15 15:15

Wow Beautiful curves, Antonio,
I actually don稚 know which curves too look at the S-curves of the dune with the beautiful tint of pink or the curves of the girl what a dilemma, but a good one

Ebbe (9625) 2005-08-15 15:26

I like how the surfaces and textures play with each other in this. The girl makes it come alive, not only as a human element but alos through her obvious motion.

Graal (103040) 2005-08-15 15:27

Hi Antonio,
beautiful view with the woman. Unusual nice the colours, it's as paradise. Good composition and sharpness. Well done.

chaity (1539) 2005-08-16 0:54

Hai Antonio, what a lovely shot you have here. I like the colors of the sun and the sea seperated by the sand dune. The girl is a good focusing point.
I noticed there are 2 shadows of her casted on the sand. Simply lovely

alejandroguzman (4684) 2005-08-16 1:43

Definitivamente una hermosa fotografia, el contraste que tiene el cielo con la arena y esta con el agua es fabuloso.
Da la sensacion de un lugar pasivo, tranquilo que nos lleva pensar, o incluso caminar como la mujer al borde del agua.

PARABENS pela foto, grande abraco Antonio

ChrisJ (171884) 2005-08-16 3:52

Hi Antonio

I like the warm cold opposition, between the pink sand, & late afternoon blue sky, reflected in the water. The lady is very easy on the eye, too. Good color & sharpness. Parabens!

joaoferreira (0) 2005-08-16 4:25

Bonito o lugar. Gostei muito da luminosidade que voc� dexou passar aqui. As cores est縊 bem suaves e agrad疱eis tamb駑. E para completar a composi鈬o, uma bela mulher de costas (� a mesma da sua foto "Golden Girl"?). Ficou muito legal mesmo! Abra輟s!

dolin (7369) 2005-08-16 5:19

Hi Antonio.
Waouhhhhh beautiful light...impressive.

Unreal, like a dream...I just don't like the unatural color of the sky, but the rest is just perfect (curves, composition). Well done.

Galmeida (12559) 2005-08-20 6:14

Ol� Antonio,
Estive mais uma semana nos A輟res e agora contente por v�-lo de novo. Como sempre a sua marca com simplicidade e originalidade. Cores magnificas, uma luminosidade excelente e um enquadramento poerfeito a este lindissimo cen疵io.

jrzufferey (7305) 2005-08-21 3:51

Ciao Antonio, je trouve ta composition avec ces lignes de ciel de mer et de sable somptueuse. Mais le summum pour moi est cette jeune femme r馭l馗hie dans l'eau d'un c� et de l'autre son ombre sur le sable. G駭ial Bravo amiti�/jr

premels (2400) 2005-08-21 8:05

Hi Antonio, The soft pink sand creates a surreal atmosphere. Your model running along the ridge of the lagoon is beautiful. Her multiple shadows contribute to the surrealism of the view. The overall softness of the picture is really great.

santosh (304) 2005-08-23 12:36

You always manage to get great colors out of any picture. I like the simple composition. The composition is great. The shadow and the reflections add interest to the picture. Nice shot.

caliane (610) 2005-09-02 9:13

Que lindo!!! surreal! um dos meus sonhos � visitar len輟is maranhenses.

jbweasle (9393) 2005-09-08 15:43

A beautiful place and very peaceful. The dunes have great curves and I love the subtle pink colour. I presume this is created by the low sun, or is the sand really this colour?

ChristianS (2997) 2005-09-11 5:03

Hi Antonio, what a beautiful composition with excellent light and wonderful warm tones. nice strong contrast between the water and the sand dunes. Well done!

Regards, Christian

Hanssie (11022) 2005-09-12 15:09

Artistic !
Nature in other colours, the way, you composed this, as said, very artistic and when I see all the smileys: deserved ! !

Zanni (6108) 2005-09-17 9:34

Another beautiful picture with a perfect light, amazing colours, pleasant curves and lines but the human presence makes the composition.

rabani (9645) 2005-09-22 4:17

You have a way in promoting the landscape Antonio. Simple, but dramatic and in an advert kind of way. I loved this.

hdl (7035) 2005-10-05 7:43

You really like beautiful girls I have the impression ;-). The composition is excellent! You already have a nice portfolio on trekearth here. Well done!

avigur_11 (22553) 2005-10-07 17:31

Waht an incredibvle place, perfectly catured with the pink dunes. The light is magic. Very well done, Antonio.

sarju (5324) 2005-10-08 14:43

Ola Antonio
I Can't really add much besides whatever that has been written about this photo ... but I can say that the thing I liked the most about this photo is your exposure and capture of this nice and warm pink light on the sand
very well composed shot indeed

Wow, what a fantastic place and wonderfully captured moment.

banyanman (7797) 2005-10-25 9:51

Amazing colours you achieve in your beach shots, Antonio, and you have a great eye for the unusual angles. Dynamic and graphic are the words that come to mind to describe this. I am intrigued by the double shadow of the girl - I assume the longer one is from the reflection of the sun off the water. Cheers . . . David

Salil_B (737) 2006-01-03 12:19

Wow, Antonio, what a photograph!!
Addition of the girl to the scene has not only given the scene an added dimension, she has put the whole scene in perspective. It has added a sensual touch to the dunes.
It helps that she is very attractive.
Wish I had a lot more than two to give.

A really beautiful photo. The colors really attached my attraction. Double shadow, guess it is because the reflection of the sun in the water, make the main focus even more interesting.-

Hi Antonio,

Lovely Image & splendid shop.. I love the color of the sand and specially I like the woman walking and her reflection, without which it wouldn't have been so interesting..

Well done and have a nice day..
