[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As I aimed my camera on the setting sun, I heard this from a fellow Canadian visitor: "Refraction by the atmosphere makes the sun oval. The lower part is dimmer and more yellow because its light has traveled through extra miles of dense atmosphere and possibly dustier air which has absorbed and reddened it." The explanation sounded fine by me.

A scene from Siquijor Island. PP work included slight desaturation and sizing for posting.

Hello, Danilo -
Excellent sunset capture. The effect of the atmosphere on the setting sun is really pronounced. Great timing to catch the speedboat as it passed just under the sun. The rough surface of the water is very sharply shown. Superb warm sky colors. Well done.

Danillo this is a excellent shot with realy nice colours and pov the sun looks brilliant grt work my friend

Hello,

Quel soleil, une merveille, cette boule toute jaune qui se dépose sur la mer avec ces traces dans le scile, ce brillant de l'eau, en le bâteau qui passe donne encore un plsu à l'image, grandiose.

Bravoe t amitié

Hi Danilo,

Again you came up with a wonderful composition...this is simply a classical shot!
The harmony of colors is superb with perfect use of the dim light, thereby making the colors more intense. The sharpness is great as always for your most of the captures. The POV and DOF is nearly ideal. A master piece, I must say!

Thanks for brightening my day!

best regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hi Danilo
excellent capture of a beautiful sunset.
the sun is indeed oval and it feels like it is going to bounce back into the sky...
beautiful silvery tones on the ripples.
good timing in catching the reflection of light on the boat.

Hello Danilo,

Great notes to accompany this fine sunset.
You waited for the perfect time when the speedboat was directly in front of the sun - patience for such a composition!
I love how the colours in the sky seem to be accentuating the way to the sun!
Fine contrasts between the smooth, warm sky and the rippled, cool sea.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Danilo, Philippines is certainly a wonderful warm place with lots of friendly people and yummy fresh food. Good timing and well presented. The sun is so much like being there. TFS. Murray

Hi Danilo,
It's nice to see yor sunset composition again. You used the rule of thirds quite well letting 2/3 of space for the evening sky. I like the flattened sun and the warm tones as well as the motor boat in the composition, it makes the image more lively. Well done, TFS!
Greetings,
Kristof

Olá Danilo,
It's a refreshment and pleasure for my eyes to see so calm and luxurious scene.
Fine work-of-art,
Abraço,
Raimundo

Salut Danilo.

Bonne journée.

Hi Danilo,
Outstanding sunset and gorgeous colors!
I hope that the sailor has taken time to admire this splendour!
The warm colors and the simplicity of your composition give an oriental style at this image. Excellent PP work with light desaturation.Informative note too!
My compliments! Annie

Hello Danilo,

Congratulations and TFS

Hi Danilo,
Such a striking looking sun! No signs of flare of any sort, I like the effect it has created above. Very well positioned boat, you have frozen it well with your semi-fast shutter speed. Your horizon looks super straight too. A very fine job.

TFS,
Scott.

Hello Danilo! Amazing sunset, wonderful light and shadow, good contrast and sharpness. Marvelous work. Superb effect. Good luck!
