The first time..

the first day of the new year.. the first sight of the sea..
Talamone.. with Isola del Giglio.. were superb..
there was a unusual warm atmosphere indeed..
and It was a sort of first time.. maybe like many other else..
even if first time of a new year is always something really new..
it’s as a little restart.. a ribirth.. some good and new intentions..
some good new looks at the world..
how many first times.. for everyone... before?
I dont know.. so much.. it’s hard to remind..
but first time is always exciting in every case..
and in every sense.. there is something special
to discover.. to feel.. something new..
the first steps.. (in truth so wild)
the first birthday (why dont you remind?)..
the first bicycle.. (as to fly..)
the first day at school.. (how to discover the rules).. ;)

however.. between thousand of different first times..
I have a lover.. a lover like no other
she got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul
and she teach me how to sing
shows me colours when there's none to see
gives me hope when I can't believe
that for the first time
I feel love


That was, probably, the best first time in my life..
when for the first time I was truly in love.. ;)

Comments and critics are welcome..

I really like the way you built this scene up, Marco. The soft, oof foreground leading the eye towards the distance... where I really like the island's silhouette. The sailing boat is a bit too close to the edge for my liking, though.
Nevertheless, excellent quality as we're used from you ;o)

Hello Marco, this is a lovely scene. I might have cropped off a bit more from the lower edge, but I like the colours and the view.
Well done
Janice

Hello Marco,

Well captured of the break of the new year. The distance peninsula makes a good perspective from the foreground in pebbles. Nice soft sea and the horizon.

Ciao Marco,

quando studiavo a Siena Talamone era il mio posto di mare preferito, mi fa moltissimo piacere rivederlo in una tua bella immagine, originale l'idea di questo punto di vista "a terra, ottimo risultato.

Bravo!

Fantastic low with excellent use of a shallow dof. Good sharpness & framing. I like the muted colours.

Ciao Marco,

You have nicely taken this image from a closer to the ground level which is interesting. A charming perspecive in a day light with cool hue of sea is attractive. Such a fabulous shot my friend, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Ciao Mario,
They are very beautiful words. He is many emotion. Your picture suits him. The sea people remember.Interesting POV. Congratulations.
Ciao, Zsú

Hi Marco,

I like the way you capture it at that low level . . blurred stone/rocks at FG add beauty of this image . .
Lovely moment . .
'First time' is always difficult, not willing to start, too risky, danger . . but high curiosity and wanting to try . .
Lovely note . .

Tfs,
Tjutjut

Many thanks for your kind words on Bali in Black & White .

The idea and the POV are absolutely wonderful but maybe the unfocused FG is a bit too big/heavy and the small boat a bit too close to the frame.
Special mood, anyway.


thanks,
v
ps.I'll be back with points

Hi Marco,
by low or high POV, the near world changes its face dramtic, but the distant view is quite unchanged by these. you well used this effect in this your shot.
like a new germinated seed, we can see the stony land from almost the surface of it. and the unchanged world looks quite new from this position. yes, the "new" is quite in our minds like an amazing mood of discovery. it is really the secret potential between changed and unchanged.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hello Marco,
Very nice lower angle shot..excellent result of this image..did you use manual focus on this shot?lovely blur on the FG and good details...well done my friend.

Salute,
Anan

Thanks on "F/T "Black And White Outside"

Hi dear friend,
I think that every new day, every new step, every new feeling is a new start, an endless first time...

Hi Marco,

What a great way to share with us the beginning of a new year in this lovely place. I hope this year will bring you all the things you wished for while standing here at the waters edge and made a picture so we could enjoy it with you.
TFS from a tropical Aruba,
Ciao

Hello Marco,
A good beachside capture!
The low point of view and the blurry foreground gives an impression we're there with you...
Attractive colour palette and a fine feeling of depth!
Greetings,

Hi Marco,
Well I don't think you could of got a lower POV could you? :o)
Interesting idea and its a great photo, I do love the sailing boat in the distance although I feel it would of had more effect if it was just a short distance closer to not sailing off the edge..:o) But I still love it, a romantic shot to me. TFS
