Photographer's Note
In my last short trip I saw a boy and a man sitting at the border of the lake, talking and fishing.
They were certainly having a good time, enjoying a good conversation and having a pleasant view of the lake which was turning golden due to the approaching sunset time.
Just light, shadows, forming silhouettes and textures...

I added a workshop with a different desaturation...please comment if you like one of them more...

Hello Cesar,
This is a treasured moment indeed. The golden reflections on the water are really ideal for this type of scene if you ask me :D So I guess that I like this version better although I don't see a WS yet :D
So nice!

Both versions are nice but I think I prefer the one in the WS. The gold on the lake is nice but I find that the silhouettes are too contrasty against this golden lake. It's an agressive contrast that IMO does not work well with a scene full of tenderness. In the WS version, this contrast is not that agressive and reflects more the situation.

Greetings Cesar - I prefer the one you post above with a bit of reflected color on the water. This is a fine composition with the boy off to one side observing the older man with his fishing pole extended beyond the frame. The silhouettes are sharply drawn against the water and I like the dark segment at the top that balances the figures on the bottom. This is certainly one way of compensating for the reputed softness of that lens... ;-)
Excellent work.

This is what your photo gives me as a feeling. Thanks.

I like it very, very much. I like WS #1 more. Because 'water' is more strong in it.

Hi Kike. Another one of your trademark adorable scenes of human interaction. The silhouettes of the boy and the fishing man against the rippled water surface depict a beautiful moment. Even though only seen as silhouettes, I like how the boy seems to be so alert and attentive. Very nice. Personally I like this one with the golden colors better than the WS. Merry Christmas to you.

Hi Cesar :)
The scene let me imagine here, the quiet murmur of the rippled water. The outline of the boy on the golden reflections is really beautiful. A restful shot inviting to the fraternity, Cesar. About the WS, although the unsaturated version be nice, I prefer the colored version. The golden color are more sweet.

Cesar, even before I read your note I thought, gosh the image would look great if the colours were not so saturated, so you know I prefer the workshop, although I think my choice would be somewhere in between.
As for the photo, I think every father can relate, I am glad that on the photo they seem to look towards each other, ideed seems that dad and son are having a conversation.
Like the composition, well balance IMO.

Well I prefer the gold one. The atmosphere gets more intense adn add a great light to the photo.
About the composition, it's very well managed and very significant in its meaning. Very nice.

Cιsar, bellisima fotografνa. Captaste un momento de gran intimidad y uniσn, rodeado de una atmσsfera casi de ensueρo con los tonos dordos del agua.
Las sombras recortadas sobre el fondo en movimiento agraga una sensciσn de mayor calma y comuniσn.
Felicitaciones :)

Very nice one ! The dark shadow on the right avoid seeing well the father, which is too bad.
Never Mind, a good picture !

Lovely counter-light, I find it quite original, cause usually for this kind of photos the sky or artificial lights are used for it, but the reflection in the water gives it a special effect.

Hello
Ta photo est splendide...
J'aime beaucoup les reflets dorιs qui donnent plus de chaleur ΰ cette image.
Et selon moi, c'est une bonne idιe de couper un petit bout de la partie supιrieure.
Bravo ;)

I like your original version more than the workshop. You have an amazing picture here. The streaks of black alternating with the golden makes the shot even more dramatic. Good job, well done!

Hi Cesar,
I like this even more than your 100th post! I like that they don't make a celebration out of the moment, they just live it adn enjoy it as it is!
Wonderful shapes on the great color of the waves!
Thank you,
Larissa :)
