HEAVEN is a place on Earth #2, a photo from Guarda, North

Photographer's Note

Please, go and explore the LARGE VERSION :)

This one is a bit diferent from my previous picture...i tried to include more of the amazing misty silhouettes from the surronding mountains. After merging the 5 photos i looked at it and think that love this one better than my previous since those lines made by mountains silhouettes, incoming from the mist, give this one a even more special mood...well, my opinion :)

If you want to know more about this place (Torre-Serra da Estrela) check my previous photo :)

In spite of being taken from almost the same place from my previous, in this one i increased zoom and toke 5 pictures that where merged together with ulead360ｺ, to give you a panorama with those layers and nature lines :)

Hope you enjoy it :)

This is a very beautiful picture. The lines of the mountains in just their silhouette forms give a mystical feeling to the photograph. It's very wispy and light in this way emphasizing the transient nature of this scene. Just amazing and beautiful.

I was hoping you would do something like this after having seen your last post. It's lovely. The blue shades looks like difrent thin layers. It's so soft it looks like a painting.

Que magnifica panoramica. As linhas curvas das montanhas "diluidas" no nevoeiro dao um ambiente a fotografia como nunca tinha visto. Parece quase uma imagem tirada do Senhor dos Aneis. Parabens!

A place for dreaming... These gradations of blue tones are simply wonderful. Very good work (and post work for the large version !)

This is heaven Marco. At least it could be. Really facinating to look at all this grades and silhouettes of blue. Amazing. Can't agree with my self if the "none blue" part in the left corner should be there or not for a best result. Think both part would be great... at least I know that this one is.

Tr鑚 beau panorama et ce temps brumeux donne un tr鑚 bon cot� de contes myst駻ieux.
C'est bien vu et bien pr駸enter.
Bon coup d'oeil Marco et bravo pour la large version

I am still trying to close my jaw. Perfect sihouettes. Hat's off.

femkevdh (2633) 2004-01-26 13:53

incredible! Don't see the merging at all! it does feel like we are on top of those beautiful mountains looking around. The shadows and the mist are like silk. really well done!!

dsidwell (9783) 2004-01-26 15:17

Very grand and amazing. Your tones are just perfect to provide a misty feel, but still get the required definition to the mountains.

Simplesmente fabuloso! Um dos melhores panoramas do TE sem d俿ida. A suavidade � fant疽tica e a composi鈬o n縊 se torna monona devido � complexidade crescente para o lado direito.

Magnificent photo! I really admire your skills to merge 5 photos! You captured the morning mist, which turned the landscape in a soft satin-like blanket, very well.

Extraordinaria panor疥ica de un paisaje al que has sabido transmitirle una magia especial.
Saludos desde Espa.

Hi Marco,
You have done several great panaramas and this is one of the best. The colours and POV are winners. Will be looking for more of your photos. Well done.

A neblina d� um toque de mist駻io ao local..... e ainda se v� um pouco de neve no canto esq :)
