The theme Mellow Yellow - not being familiar with the meaning of every single word in english, I just translate it to what I feel and that is mellow, as in a kind of floating feeling, just go with the flow, or float with the clouds, against a sky painted yellow by the setting sun.
.
Enough floating already, of course being a child of the sixties I am perfectly aware of the song of Bob Dylan, but maybe that floating sensation can remain in my note even so.
.
I'm too lazy to retrieve the exif data, but I did use ISO 100 and 1/250 shutterspeed. I only ran this image trhough Neat Image and then as an after thought I applied clarification strength 5.
.
For some who can see that in the dark FG the dyke is not horizontal, that would be right, because I was standing on the balcony of our hotel and there was no room to make a picture in a straight angle and still include the silhouette of this young man.
.
Hope you enjoy,

Els

Hello there Els!
Amazing sky with beautiful clouds.
The figure adds a dramatic tone.
Well done!

Hi Els,
Don't worry about the slight horizon slant...since you mention that you felt lazy, I did a workshop to straighten if for you :)
The view is wonderful and the colors in the sky amazing.
The silhouete also adds interest to the sunset view.

Lurdes
PS: Had you not mentioned the horizon, I wouldn't even have noticed!

Gorgeous image Els, very lovely composition and color. Love it.

Hi Els,
Superb posting for the theme!
The warm sunset was surely a great inspiration for this young man. He is just in the right place in the image! Bravo! Annie

Hello Els


I am with some jealousy of you
this landscape is everything that I wanted to see
and to become warm.
Beautiful landscape and that colors!!! I am amazed with
this sky! The silhouette is beautiful, but the sky is it that
plus I concern!
Congratulations!

Hoi Els,
Wat een super mooie foto. De man staat ook echt op de perfecte plek voor je composition. Niet alleen op de 1/3 as, maar ook nog precies waar de trapleuning diagonaal weg loopt. de lucht met deze prachtige wolken is echt schitterend.
Groetjes,
Niek

Hallo Els. Mooie opname en sterke compositie.
Geeft een warm vakantie gevoel.
Gr Frans

The perfect 60s mood Els,if I see this I hear Pink-Floyd with ""set controls for the hearth of the sun"".
This brings my back to my youth in Noordwijk aan sea.
jan

Hello Els,

Your interpretation is certainly one of the nuances of the word and how well you have portrayed it.
This is like the ending of a wide-screen film with the hero/heroine, looking contentedly out into the gathering gloom. I can hear the accompanying music!
Very good composition and wonderful colours in the sky.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Ik ben hier om veel te leren. Wat een prachtig gemaakte plaat.

Groet
Ben

Hoi Els,

Hallo Els,

weer een prachtige foto!
Mooi scherp sillouet van de persoon op de voorgrond tegen de prachtige lucht, en....Mellow Yellow. (Mischien een domme vraag maar ik ben op TL om te leren: hoe weet je van dit thema, ik kan het nergens ontdekken en het geel viel me al meteen op vanmorgen.)
Groetjes weer, Marga

Bonjour Els,
your photography, makes me think of a person who expects a spacial ship to leave to an intergalactic journey. This comes from my imagination too important :OD.
And especially to the extraordinary colour of your sky and its texture. And this bridge where the young man in silhouette seems really expect a miraculous event.
Absolutely magical, cheers
Heartily, Corinne

Evocative, dramatic, spectacular in its simplicity. I love the minimalist effect of the silhouetted subject and the counterpoint of the gold-tinged dynamic sky.

Hoi Henkie,
Je flikt het weer! Pracht plaat en wat een stemming, wordt er bijna sentimenteel van :-)
Gave compositie, het silhouette staat psies op de goede plaats en creeert een perfecte balans.
Prachtige warme kleuren een echte "zucht" plaat!
Hans

Hello Els. stunning image and good contribution to the theme. The silhouette of the person and the handrail are well placed against the vibrant sunset sky. Very good land/sky division in exposing the wide glow in the sky. Well done! Jusni

Hi Elsie,
Beautiful cloud formations and sky, You captured the scene with the silhoette quite well. Although I feel the dark parts could have been darker. Wonderful colors though.
I like Your photo, because of the awesome composition, but also found the WS strong enough.
Have a nice weekend, greetings from Hungary, László

Hallo Els
Prachtige silhouet foto .
Mooi van kleur en compositie.
Gr Jos

Oefffff .... voel ik me daar even een beetje Mellow worden joh ! ;-)
Ik ken dat woord ook niet precies, maar volgens mij heb je het goed vertaald. En je hebt er een prachtplaat bij gezocht! Die silhouette is een grote waarde in deze plaat. De kleuren zijn prachtig .... uhhh .... yellow.
groeten en een zonnige dag toegewenst,
Joop!

Mmm... Els, ik heb m'n monitor even op "dynamic contrast" gezet en dat haalt zoveel details uit de foto dat m'n ogen pijn doen van de intensiteit. Maar: het maakt wel de dijk los van de zee, en zo kan ik met een gerust gemoed zeggen: je horizon (de waterrand, dus) staat scheef. En je weet hoe gevoelig dat ligt bij mij hé...
Maar dat terzijde: ik vind de kleuren heel mooi, en dat silhouet is wel geslaagd, maar: die trapleuning vind ik geweldig storend. Neen, sorry, zoals we in Antwerpen zeggen, 't is niet helemaal mijn goesting, Els.
Ik zit ook even te twijfelen over de mood van de foto: als ik die naar boven scroll zodat de dreigende bewolking daar bijna helemaal verdwenen is, dan is de mood van de foto helemaal anders, veel optimistischer, vind je niet?
Goed, zoals steeds: mijn eerlijke mening, niets meer, niets minder...
TFS

Bonjour Els
J'aime ce cadrage et la lumière nous dans une situation de pensée vers l'au-delà.Une bonne gestion de la lumière de cette composition.
Bonne soirée
Amicalement

Hallo Els,
Prachtige compositie van deze zonsondergang, met een 'dramatische' wolkenpartij.
Proficiat,

P.S. Hoe bevalt de Sony A350? Ben na lang twijfelen (met de Canon D450) sinds kort in het bezit van de Sony A300.
