Fantastic looking image here Luis, the scene looks like something that could only be painted, and too good to be true. Colours are fantastic as well as the quality. Well done.

Hello Luis,
A nice wide angle giving good foreground and immense sky.
Nice light and colors.

exceptional,
unusual,
mastery,
close-to-unreal,
this is a gorgeous work, luis, you really reached the limits of "beauty" with this landscape (indeed some old school flamish touch could be seen here);
the colours are simply unbelievable;
best wishes, j.

Oi Luis,
Fantabulástica. Esta é a única expressão que me surge de momento. A perspectiva que escolheste é excelente e a inclusão da folhagem cria uma profundidade de campo suberba. As cores estão dignas de um qualquer quadro pendurado numa parede de um qualquer Louvre.
Aquele Abraço
Fred

Hello my friend ;-)

What can i say after such honest and beautiful words. I really not deserve this. It sounds like that very picture of me is perfect, well i don't think it is.
Taking good ones is a struggle, every time and time again, you probably know that feeling.

The landscape is as it is, making the best of it is all we can do. Showing something that is only there for a short period of the day, waiting for the best light, sometimes it doesn't come at all....home again with nothing on your card, how disapointing can that be.
But when the circumstances are good then you are happy like a little child with a birthday present.

In the old days on slide film, the Velvia was and still is the master. Now in this digital era we come home, see them on the screen and think...no not really, it was better then what i see now. So there is work to do, a lot of work..!!
You have to paint, with highlihts and shadows in a way that the picture comes to life, just as the way you saw it when you pushed the button. Just like the way the old masters did...painting with light..!!!

And yes i paint my pictures, just as you did in yours, and you know how difficult that can be ;-)
Nothing is what it seems...i showed you, but it is the art of showing in a minimum way the difference between a nice one, a good one, and a perfect one. And looking at myself, after all these years of photography, i am only proud on less then 10 pictures, all the others could be better....so i keep on trying.

Your tributes are very nice, i highly respect mine, but at the end...don't forget yourself....you belong under us...!!!

With kind regards,

Henk

How do I love this photo? Let me count the ways. 1. Has an Old Portuguese castle. 2. Taken during the "golden hour" of photography. 3. It has the moon in it, and it looks great. 4. Its what I call a grand landscape (meaning it shows the whole entire countryside, all encompassing) which are the hardest to pull off. 5. It's dedicated to Henk, who is one of my favorite photographers. 6. The color of the light hitting the distant hillside complements the color of the sky (orange/blue). 7. It's got great clouds. 8. You have lightened the shadow areas, letting us see the nice buildings etc. 9. Shows a place I've never seen before.

Speechless Luis. The quality of the light is so good. So good. It actually reminds me of HDR photography, was there any pp tricks here? Because the light is so good that it almost looks unreal.

Como estava à espera de ver melhor o castelo, fiquei um pouco desiludido com esta magnífica paisagem e jogo de luz. Perdi numa coisa, ganhei na outra :-)

Adoro as cores!!

Ainda bem que te "trouxeram" para a fotografia de paisagens... valeu a pena.

E o enquadramento... bem... muito bom mesmo.
Explica-me só o que é o laranja nos montes à esquerda?

Muito obrigado por partilhares

Hello Luis,Your Usual suspect is a really nice serie. But I prefer this one amongst all so the light in it is incredible.
It's a nice homage to Henk.
Great composition
