[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I´d never uploaded a picture from my hometown, São Paulo here in TL!
Taken at Ibirapuera´s park, which was inaugurated in 1954 to celebrate the city's fourth birthday, and designed by famous architect Oscar Niemeyer together with landscape designer Burle Marx. Ibirapuera Park covers an area of almost two million meters and is São Paulo's "Central Park".

Exposure compensation value -2.

A gradient map BW layer and a color balance layer were added get the golden effect. Sky filtered with NI.

Another version, with (almost) real colors can be viewed at trekearth .

All critiques are welcome!!

Hi Carmen,

I like sunsets a lot, i like the golden effect you added to this picture. Also, sillhouettes of the swans enhances the composition. And of course the good reflection of the sun on the water.

Well done!
Saludes,
Iris

A very relaxing shot, the way the sunlight rolls over the ripples in the water. The soft gold tone adds to the shot, well done.

Hi Carmen!

Nice capture and PP done. Regards!

Arrebentou com essa foto, Carmem Este "gold effect" valorizou demais uma foto que já era boa (trekearth). No Parque Iberapuera existem vários cenários que podem ser explorados. Que tal mais fotos de lá?PARABÉNS.

Nice artistic over-exposition effect. Beautiful composition, very well done !

Una foto espectacular Carmen. Una luz fantástica al igual que la definición. Un trabajo muy bien hecho. En mi opinión hubiera cortado el encuadre por la derecha para eliminar la parte más oscura de la foto y centrar más la atención en los dos cisnes que salen más nítidos en el contraluz dejando un formato cuadrado. Felicitaciones.

belissima... :)
nao sei se vi ou nao... deja vu... hahaha

ah sim
qto ao EV em -2, varia muito de qual fotometria vc usou e aonde usou nao acha? Usando spot no sol ou perto dele, ficaria +/- desse jeito a foto! :)

Nothing but total beauty here. This is absolutely gorgeous!... :O)

I don't know how I missed this one. Glad to find it now. It's absolutely stunning. Great composition, angle, colours, and clarity. First class work IMO. I love the way the swans are facing the sunset.

Sorry, out of points for today. - done.

Carmem, que beleza de foto.

Tenho mesmo a sensação de escutar o deslizar das aves na água.

Parabéns.

Lívio

Muito bonito esse pôr-do-sol. Como você faz para tirar essas fotos sem ofuscar a lente da máquina? Suas fotos são realmente ótimas!

Carmem, this is an impressive sunset. Excellent PP work with these layers to create that moody golden look. The swans make it a very dreamy shot. Thanks for sharing.
