Buna Lili,

Interesante POV si procesare, plaja arata super, imi place forma apei la limita cu nisipul, are o atmosfera foarte faina fotografia ta. Versiunea pe care ai postat-o imi place cel mai mult.

O seara frumoasa,
Sorina

Hi Lilliana,
Amazing sunset scene at this beach, lovely dusk colours. Perfectly composed photo with the closed umbrellas at the end of the day and the flying birds. Calm and peaceful atmosphere, great mood.
Well done, TFS!
Best wishes,
Kristof

Hi Lili,

Since I love colours, the desaturated one is the one I like less.
Somehow you have created a strange atmosphere, like that here. Must be an attractive place to be.

Hello Liliana


I like your post
I like this landscape, it could take a risk
in a pp in HDR. Excellent look of colors
and details of this beach.
Of very good taste!
Greetings!

Sérgio

THis is a magnificent work of art Liliana. You do have a gifted eye for composition. Superb shapes and colors. This is most enjoyable to view. My compliments my dear and I wish you a relaxing weekend. Danilo

Hello Liliana.
this is a Black Beach for sure, haha
Even more black than the beach of Fujaira, UEA at the Indian ocean. At Langkawi there is also a black beach, but there to have to look twice for.!
The sky colours makes is an atractive picture, well done.

Hi Lilli,
Seems like a pretty special capture of a sunset to me.
Good work on the sky, water and beach, very fascinating looking vista.
The slight reflection of the orange sky on the water adds real contrast to the darkened beach and adds continuity to the whole image.
I like the small stand of trees and the flock of birds as well.
Good job,
Thanks for the view,
Wilt

Hi Lilli,
Firstly, thank you for visiting my gallery , if only i had more time to admire yours.This marvellous sunset impresses me highly particularly the golden shadow left by the receding waters on the well silhouetted beach , i like the effect overall very much of the tints in the cloudless horizon and as usual your frames ( i like frames too , i now can't do without them anymore...) are of good taste and match the colors of the seascape,
compliments,
Carol

Ooo! Ce atmosfera impresionata ! O senzatie post-apocaliptica. Foarte interesant si dramatic, cu cerul rosu amenintator, marea de otel agitata si nisipul negru.
Toate cele bune !

I like the contrast you achieved in this photo. The frozen blue ocean and the red-orange sky look more dynamic against the black beach! Is this beach really of black sand? Or is it just in your photo?

Andre'

Hi Liliana. Nice warm color contrasting well with the dark area. I like the reflection on the wet sand and beautiful sky. Best regards. Jusni

Hi Liliana
Good shot of this nice scene, great reflex of sky color on the san-water, wish you would use closer aperture to achieve better DOF.

There is almost a painting feel to this Liliana. I like the dark blues to contrast the sky and stop in the waves creates the sense of a single moment in time. The detail free areas of the beach and the trees, really adds to the over all feeling of the image. A wonderful moment in time.
Warmest regards
Wanda

Hello Liliana
A stunning image that is artistically done. Great color effect nd contrast. It must represent a lot of time on post treatment.
Nice work
Serge

Hello Lilli,

The composition of this, using thirds in a very original way, is excellent.
The colour qualities give the scene an unbelievable, almost surreal, effect.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Un Hermoso atardecer Lilliana, saludos

hi lili
your black beach creates a very attractive contrast

Hello Lili,
Like your style of PP work. As with your last post I regard the horizon here a bit tilted to the left, but maybe its only my impression. The rest is a simple and beautiful seascape that reminds me of nothing else but a real nice holiday. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Gruss aus dem Süden,

dear Liliana,
my most interesting part of your this picture is the border between black sand and shining water.
two different forces are competing each other, and this battle makes zigzag and wavy curved line between two.
it is like a illustration of mythology, the fight of the gods invented this world...
also it is quite like our sensations of spirits, between existence and nothingness, or hope and despair...
anyway, you found, captured and edited this excellent beautifulness in this image, on your joyful process.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hello Liliana,

very nice work, Contrast is so hard that it looks a bit strange, like the water wasnt't liquid. Even though the foto was taken in summer it seems to be very cold there.

I like it.
