Hi Dear TL friends,

A romantic environment, a soft breeze, the sun says goodby. We are in the Guincho beach.

Guincho - 10 Km from center of Cascais city, lying at the foot of the Sintra hills and facing the Atlantic, should not be missed. This beach is close the westernmost point in continental Europe (Cape Roca).

The sand dunes blend subtly with the pine trees, the sea - rich in fish - rushes here and there into majestic caverns such as the famous Boca do Inferno which is well worth a visit. The vegetation is varied and beautiful and mostly of the Mediterranean type.

Guincho has always been ideal for surfing owing to the large breakers, but it is now becoming increasingly known for wind surfing - a sport much developed over the last few years.

Enjoy it

PP work:
- increase a little bit the saturation
- cut the original picture

Ola Aires

An unusual but effective colour combination of green & gold. I'd just crop the top left slightly. Good colour & sharpness in this superb seascape. Obrigado!

Hallo Aires..
Sher romantische Bild.. Ganz toll:-)

Nice scene Aires, I like the POV and the rock silhouette.
I am not sure about the use of flash, it could be just about the silhouetts and sunrise light.

Hi Aires, what a wonderful shot! I love the greens you got here, must be all the shades of green there are! Almost looks like you caught the elusive 'flash of green' (emerald color) that happens just as the sun goes over the horizon. I've only ever seen it once. TFS.

great pic
Karl

hello! great sunset! excellent place to shot! fantastic work!TFS
greetings Aga:)

Hello Aires,
This is a very moody capture, with wonderful deep colours!
The evening light is great, and it is interesting to see the effect of the flash...
Well composed image, where the big rock is a real attention catcher!
Greetings,

Well composed shot, quite interesting and inviting to visit the place sometime. The water and the waves in the far end provide a lot of depth to the image.
TFS & regards

Parabéns.

Hello Aires

Looking intresting, good and unique framing, Colours is really very good and silhoutee of that stone is so attractive. One question ! Had u used in your camera flash becuase it seems some more lights in foreground area ?

best wishes
rajiv

I like the tranquil mood of this shot, so peaceful and beautiful. You might have overdone on sharpening by looking at the grass and what happened in the top left corner? There is a weird line right on the edge of a photograph.

Olá Aires,
It's a lovely coloured, romantic image you present here.
Did you use a fill-in flash? It's good to have some light - otherwise it would have been too dark.
Hope this was a lovely end to an equally lovely day..
TFS

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Targa Tasmania I’

An almost alien looking landscape, wonderful play of colors and light and mysterious shadowy rockformations.
Cheers
