Photographer's Note
Tha Glacier Valley of Zêzereit is the largest valley glacier in a straight line across Europe. There are 13 kilometers of mountains, coined by the ice from 20,000 years ago, which today runs the Zêzere. Valley falls in the highest mountains in mainland Portugal.
Go down to the area where now stands the village of Butter, one of the most scenic mountain roads of the country. The last glacial were the Nave de Santo António, Covão Ametade and Candieira Valley. The Zêzere born there, at the foot of Cântaro Slim, one of the great rivers of Serra da Estrela - the other is the Mondego.

Hi Paulo.
Stunning beauty of this sunset, the image has a large DOF.
Perfect POV to the lonely house behind the bushes, the two sides that converge toward a bright background, the sky is spectacular. The sharpness of the image, control of light and color, magnificent.
Best regards.
Luis.

hi Paulo
zelo sem bil pozoren na to fotografijo, ker je tako zelo polna grozečih oblakov in tudi drugih nežnejših tonov. vzrok je filter in ravno te dni si ogledujem in berem o filtrih na forumih o fotografiji.
zelo lepo delo, ki mi je všeč!! čestitam!! tfs
lep večer, vojko

Hi Paulo,
Beautiful shot! A bit darker exposure creates an atmosphere of sunset with a subtle charm. the depiction of the distant sky and mountains at the center is truly exquisite. Excellent work.
Have a nice day, Hisashi

Ola Paulo!
A luz ficou espantosa, assim como o ambiente que conseguiste! Adoro esta panorâmica, tenho varias fotografias tiradas daqui, mas nenhuma a esta hora! Belo trabalho!
Quanto ao vale glaciar do Zêzere, estas enganado na sua posição. Quando sobes de Seia para a Torre, ao chegar la acima tens o cruzamento para a Covilhã e para Manteigas, quando desces para Manteigas e estas a chegar ao Covão d'Ametade tens uma panorâmica sobre o vale glaciar do Zêzere, característico pelo U perfeito que forma: www.antoniopaninho.over-blog.com, coloquei uma no meu blogue se quiseres ver.
Aqui estamos virados para sul, ou seja para o lado de Castelo Branco.
Espero que não leves a mal este aparte.
Um abraço e bom fim de semana para ti

hi Paulo
i think this one is going to be very popular for you, just a hunch!
its great how the black clouds seem to match the color of the hillside stones. and i like the V shape that you created inside the frame which guides our eye towards the hut.
lovely landscape and atmospheric photo
cheers

Hi Paulo,
This is spectacular extraordinary work.
No words to give it a justice.
Excellent exposition and processing. I admire the details of the hills on the horizon. The sky is fabulous. It seems to be on fire and there is even dark smoke.
Perfect processing which emphasized well the details and yet kept very natural.
Congratulations,
M

An extraordinary and very dramatic sunset!
you were in the right place at the right moment and made a very good use of this unique chance!
The light is really fantastic and so is the clarity of the photo where every single details is visible even in the shadows, and of course this place is very evocative. Perfect composition too with the house in the right position and creating a diagonal with the sun. A real masterpiece my fried!
Best compliments,

Olá Paulo,
la imagen tiene una profundidad fantástica, que nos permite ver con claridad desde la casa en el primer plano hasta la lñinea del horizonte, mientras nuestra mirada desciende a través de este bello valle.
La luz y los colores de la foto son magníficos, y dan una atmósfera muy especial al paisaje, supongo que el filtro gradual gris ha ayudado a conseguir este impresionante efecto.
Excelente foto.
Um abraço,
Josep
