Cascais port, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

Cascais is surrounded by popular beaches, such as Guincho Beach to the west, and the lush Sintra mountains to the north. Some of its shoreline is cliff-y, attracting tourists for its seascapes and other natural sights such as the Boca do Inferno. It is also becoming a popular golf destination, with over 10 golf courses nearby. Surfing, sailing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing are also popular in the region around Cascais due to favourable weather, wind, and sea conditions. In 2007, Cascais was the official host of the ISAF World Championship in sailing for dinghies and racing yachts.
The municipality also hosts international tennis and motorcycling events and hosted for many years the FIA F1 Portugal Grand Prix. The famous Estoril Casino is one of the largest in Europe. Near the casino is the "Hotel Palбcio" (Palace Hotel), a 5-star hotel where scenes of the James Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service were shot.

Hi Daniel
Colours of fishing paraphernalia on the fg make a great hooking point directing the eye towards the busy fishing harbour and the numerous boats. Perfect spot for a bit of contemplation perhaps, looks warm and inviting that you find some great things to photograph. Congrats
Best regards

Hello Daniel,
I appreciate the inclusion of the fishing gear in the foreground, which lends context to the composition. Very agreeable view over the harbour with pleasant natural tones and good sharpness.

Bonjour Daniel

J'aime beaucoup cette composition. Le regard se promиne de bas en haut en se demandant quel est le sujet principal ce qui est certainement un petit peu confus mais intйressant а la fois.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Daniel

Great line-up of the fleet, all in a relatively small layer within the frame. Interesting fg and cityscape in the back as borders.

You mentioned attractions for tourists, but as we can see in the picture, fishing is also important, a very nice photo with great view of moored colorful boats, a wide panoramic view of Lisbon, my compliments Ryszard

Hi Daniel
it'd be cool to watch the F1 Race! No racing on this day though, everything looks very peaceful and calm out there.
I like the contrasting subjects from the top to the bottom.
Funny how ALL the boats are pointed to the left...I'd point mine to the right just to piss them off hahahaha
cheers
Craig

Ciao Daniel
una foto ricca di dettagli, in primo piano regna il caos dei pescatori, mentre il mare и disseminato di barche ancorate senza un disegno geometrico.
Saluti

Hi Daniel,
This view clearly shows that Cascais is not only important holiday resort and place for leisure boating. It is also a harbour of fishing boats. It is always a mystery to me how they manage to keep those nets in order.

Colours are pleasant to look at.
Splendid composition.
Very well done, TFS.

Hello Daniel,
A rather chaotic foreground but it helps well to create depth on the picture.
The view is very nice with the many boats scattered over the bay.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Daniel, A rather strange view from Cascais, with the fishermen nets and baskets instead of the casino. Nice view of the many boats on the sea.

Kind regards Malgo
