Photographer's Note
Hello to all, and my wishes for a fantastic healthy and happy 2008 to you all!!!
Continuing my series around the weather moods around my town here is the 2008's first day mood.
Dark, cold weather, the town wakes up slowly after the big party of New Year's Eve, almost no one around, just me, Teresa and the camera.
The wind is still, the atmosphere rather dark and intimidating but regardless all of this there is a nice winter light and still water inviting us for some shots before returning home after lunch.
This picture is one of those...
Happy New Year of 2008 may your best wishes be acomplished!!!

Olá Paulo!
A very atmospheric image, and it captures very well the sense of a town still sleeping. I like the POV and the reflections. Good composition as well. It's a pity the beach is so cluttered, but on the other hand it reinforces the sense of things suspended while all sleeps.
Great work!

Bonjour Paulo,
une photo qui a le caractère que j'aime bien, elle rend les lumières telles qu'elles sont et surtout restitue toutes les nuances de ce magnifique ciel couvert.
Un excelent POV qui montre la côte depuis l'avancée dans l'eau.
Regards.
Daniel.

Olá Paulo,
preciosa toma con una luz y unos colores fantásticos. Me gusta cómo la has compuesto, con un buen encuadre y bellos reflejos en el agua. La soledad del lugar después de la fiesta de Fin de Año da un ambiente muy especial a la escena.
Bien hecha, el resultado es excelente.
Que 2008 sea un año fantástico, para tí y para Teresa.
Un fuerte abrazo,
Josep

Hello Paulo,
Beautiful scene and very nice atmosphere. I like this composition with a good foreground and the beautiful gey sky and its reflection in the water. This is really a winter mood representative of the season.
I wish you as well a wonderful and happy new year for ypi, of course, and as well for all the ones around you.
Best regards, Christian

Hi Paulo,
Belle ambiance dans ton image, peut-être un peu trop sombre à mon goût. J'attends la suite de la série... avec impatience !

Bom dia Paulo, esta imagem demonstra bem o que tem sido o clima de 2008. Espero que melhore para a sessão de amanhã...Sinto falta de luz aqui, mas provavelmente é bastante fiel ao que estava quando tiraste a foto. Gosto muito da composição em < mostrando dois planos distintos e em especial da inclusão deste passadiço a oferecer um grafismo muito interessante. Não costumo pressionar as pessoas mas gostava bastante de vos ver amanhã, nem que fosse só para um café rápido (café magnólia dos Restauradores, às 15:00). Por outro lado, se não estão para aí virados, tudo bem também.
Desejo-vos um excelente 2008. Um grande abraço e beijinhos para a Teresa,
ricardo

Hi Paulo and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!
This is a fantastic, "heavy" and "haunted" atmosphere you have caught in this beautiful picture! Great framing and composition, fantastic light managment! Congratulations!

Ola Paulo
Ominous sky, quiet neighbourhood, time for some reflections. The reflections on the water look as if they're on water colour. I can almost see Teresa shooting at these reflections, which she was so good at. A well done compo. with the pier in the FG & the couple of boats.
Best Regards & wishing for a more sunny 2008

Hi Paulo, one more gem in your seixal gallery, your POV is there very nice using the reflexion in background and those two "dorices" as we call that in france in foreground.
PP makes it a moody feeling and i'm really convinced and absorbed by the result.
Excellent
