Photographer’s Note
- The big rock on the background of this photo, is called "Penedo do Guincho", has 30 meters height for 100 of circunference and is orange/brown colored. One of the most important visit cards of Santa Cruz - Torres Vedras.
- In its base exists a vaulted crack that is crossed by the sea, in low tide days the opening can be crossed by foot without getting wet.
- The green one in the foreground is just covered with moss and the black ones in the middle are just sea polished, showing their natural color.
- I think i could had chosen a higher pov... i had also tried some crops and didn´t like the result... so this was the best i could do :)

Hi Daniel,
Wow, such a beautiful scene. Excellent job with the exposure, although I think it could stand to be a little longer than 30 seconds, to give the big rock more detail. Lovely composition, and the vertical format works very good here.
Nice work, thanks for sharing!

Hello Daniel,
Interesting rock that looks seriously tilted. Composition is excellent with fine balance between the fore- and backgrounds. I think the pov is very good, too. Regards,

Olá Daniel,
Bonita foto, muito boa a composição o POV já é bastante conhecido, mas tu conseguíste dar-lhe um cunho pessoal.Boas cores e tempo de exposição,gostava que explicasses o porque de usar flash. Realmente gosto bastante deste trabalho que julgava só ser possível apartir de uma 20D.
Parabéns.
Um abraço,
Filipe

Congratulation! one of the moste unreal landscape: that rock seems like a monolith and i like much that mystic effect of the water. All is exalted by the colors of the sky ;-)

Quanto a mim, não podias ter feito melhor. O enquadramento está fantástico e captaste lindamente o motivo principal da foto. As cores estão muito lindas e o sentido de movimento da água muito está muito bom. Gosto.

I really like this POV. The green rock in the foreground is very interesting and adds another color to this beautiful shot. The "Penedo do Guincho" is also very interesting and I love the little bit of the horizon visible through it. The water seems a bit dark to me, but it’s not bad. Very cool shot Daniel.

Ryan

Hi Daniel,
I like this composition and the splash of green moss in the foreground is a winning combination. Do you think a slightly higher POV, slight forward tilt and more reflective light on the interior of the arch might make this the shot in your mind's eye?
Cheers!

Great shot! I like the shape of that rock, with the hole in the middle, and the curved outline. It almost seems to be leaning over. One really good thing about this is that the round rock in the foreground mirrors the curved rock in the backgorund, providing a great dynamic between the two of them. Good idea to use flash to light the foreground too. Excellent!

Very beautiful photo. The long exposure time creates a nice effect in the sea. The colors are very good, the sharpness and the POV are great.

Bonjour Daniel,
Cette photo est assez saisissante. Je vois peu de couleur sur le rocher, mais sa silhouette me fait penser à un monstre marin. La couleur verte du premier plan reléve l'ensemble de la vue. Belle réalisation.

Ora aqui está um sítio que digo ter de fotografar mas ainda não ter tido disponibilidade. Tenho de lá ir um destes dias. A tua composição está muito boa e a exposição de 30 segundos bem controlada. É pena a rocha estar um pouco escura, pois assim perde-se o detalhe dos padrões. Mas está uma foto muito interessante.

Hello Daniel,
very beautiful and peaceful image. Peaceful because of the subtle color tones all over. The long exposure always does a nice job on those beach shots.
However, I think the shot is a bit underexposed on the rock because we see just enough of the rock to see that there is some details missing...It's not just a shadow.It was hard to expose, I know, because the rock on the foreground is well lit. If you shoot raw, you could have treated the file twice to have a good exposure in the foreground AND in the background...
Best regards,
Marc
