154- Pura Vida, a photo from Limon, East

Photographer's Note

In my last picture, I was waiting for the boat that would take us to Tortuguero National park. There aren't any roads to get there. During our stay we lived in this pure environment surrounded by canals, rivers, beaches and forests, along the Carribean Coast.
So, as an introduction to the marvels we saw there, I wanted to post this view. Not much of a composition, just the beauty of nature.
In WS1, I have added an aereal view which will give you a better idea of the place.
"Pura Vida" (my title) is like the motto of the country. It's easy to understand why, and the people are very proud of it. They use it all the time, as the Spanish would say "Olι", when they are happy, or when they agree, instead of saying "OK".

Dear Marie Louise, thank you for this - I have now spent nearly one hour exploring a part of Latin America (and the Panama Canal) I had known practically nothing about! Just what TE is for, maybe. Anyway, it's a lovely study in blue and green, with the long low roofs in just the right position.
As always, best wishes,
Winifred

Good morning Marie-Louise,
really the view of this tranquil and calm place is fantastic,with the natives to use the words of their languages instant of the outlandish ones.

Have a good day,danos

Bonjour MarieLouise,
The rain-forest in pic. divides the sky from lake.
Well taken under low light, and the attached Ws's are marvelous as well, nature's preformance.
Au revoir

Bonsoir Marie-Louise,

J'ai l'impression que ηa "penchouille" un peu ΰ gauche... Mais peu importe, voilΰ encore une belle et intιressante sιrie de photos sur ton escapade costaricaine et non costarmoricaine, un bonne distance sιpare ces deux rιgions !!! Avec toute cette eau pas ιtonnant que l'environnement soit si verdoyant. Ici l'ιtendue est impressionnante et l'eau si calme. La virιe en bateau moteur doit κtre bien intιressante et vivifiante car je pense que l'embarcation doit aller ΰ un bonne allure comme je peux le voir sur le WS. Rιgion du monde ΰ prιserver absolument, merci Marie-Louise.

Avec toutes mes amitiιs et un excellent WE,

Jean-Charles

Ciao Marie Luise, bella e rilasante, ottimi colori naturali e magnifica luce, belli anche i due WS, brava, buon week end, ciao Silvio

Hi MarieLouise,

Really great title indeed. I was a bit puzzled by since I felt it would be Vida Pura in Spanish but then I found out that this is the motto of Costa Rica with a slightly different meaning. Your picuture is really great. I guess this is a river and not a lake. It looks very impressive and I like the way the clouds are reflected in the water. It is true that there is a slight tilt, but nothing you would notice without a close look. TFS and have a nice weekend!

Kind regards,

Ulf

Bonjour Marie Louise
Je donne ici une critique sincθre, non dans le but de te vexer.
Certes le paysage est beau et respire le calme mais il manque le "je ne sais quoi qui accroche le regard".
Cependant il ιtait possible de redresser l'image, je me suis permis de faire un WS.

Bonjour Marie Louise
Une atmosphθre se dιgage de ce clichι avec ces teintes froides.Un bon ciel juste en nuances.Un petit bιmol pour κtre constructif,la ligne d'horizon est trop centrιe.Pour ce type d'image,j'aurais visι plus haut donnant 2/3 pour le ciel.En visant plus bas,les parties blanches du ciel auraient ιtι rabotιes.Tout ceci n'est qu'un avis personnel bien ιvidemment.
Bonne aprθs-midi
Amicalement

Hi MarieLouise,
Lovely shot, this open space allow us to feel the placid and serenity of the environment as you describe, so pure and refreshing. Yes, compositionally it lack a strong anchor point, but the open space really emphasize the peacefulness and beauty of the nature. The cloudy sky adds a little mood to the atmosphere. Simply beautiful.

Salut Marie Louise. This place is very beautiful and peaceful and your title is perfect to illustrat it. Natural colors are nice, the sky is beautiful and sharpness is okay too. A beautiful photo despite the problems well noticed and repaired by other members.
Have a nice day.

J'apprιcie votre visite, Marie Louise.
Tour prιpayι oblige, nous avons vu Limon pendant notre bref survol d'une journιe hors du bateau et c'est pourquoi je n'ai pas vu ces grands espaces purs.
Amicalement.
Robert

josepmarin (59385) 2011-02-21 3:12

Bonjour Marie-Louise,
le titre dit tout, et dιfinit parfaitement l'image que tu nous offres dans ta composition.
La riviθre est vie, et la nature encore vierge est la puretι, qu'il faut qu'on la prιserve des excθs provoquιs par l'ambition sans limites de l'homme.
La scθne est fraξche, attractive et sereine.
Notre ami Didi a habilement corrigι le petit tilt de l'horizon.
Un beau travail.
Avec mes amitiιs,
Josep

................. oooolι!.

Si seρora,
"olι" por la foto,
"ole" por compartir con nosotros
esos momentos en que nos fundimos
con la naturaleza,
(como me gustarνa conocer ese lugar) ...

Un abrazo amiga Marie Louise y enhorabuena
por saber disfrutar de esa "Pura Vida".

PD.: ... Las fotos de WS son tambiιn muy hermosas ....

Longroute (19600) 2011-02-23 8:21

"Not much of a composition, just the beauty of nature."

Yes, I can understand that... yet photography has its own rules... you have witnessed the scene so your memory influences what you see in the photo. For us a bit of adjustment is needed.
You have seen the WS they made...
The atmosphere of the tropical forest is well depicted.

Tanti saluti,
Donato

Docarmo (9767) 2011-03-05 18:15

Bonjour Marie-Louise,
C'est une photo avec grande profondeur, j'aime bien. Aussi les reflets sur l'eau qui bouge - si, ηa donne l'impression de mouvement!
J'aime beaucoup la lumiθre!
Pura vida, en effet!
Merci pour le partage,
Du
P.S.: j'aime beaucoup les WS aussi.

Hello Marie-Louise,
This picture, along with other ones in your workshop, shows the beauty and power of Costa Rican nature very well, with representing so many interesting natural features. Your visit of Costa Rica was very successful and fruitful on excellent shots, which are provided with so interesting, informative and useful notes. Very good presentation of this national park!
Best regards,
Sergiy
