is coming to us!, a photo from Barcelona, Catalonia

Photographer's Note

Now, in the breakwater.
The waves are more furious. They attack the rocks, they try to climb the rocks. If they could they would arrive until us.

What I must do? Perhaps be nearest of the waves?

In two days the answer.

About this one, I like the composition: a vertical composition with a blue colour what dominates the photo. The line of the horizont divides the photo and the breakwater draws an, for me, interesting “punto de fuga” (sorry, I don’t know how is in english, this is a point of escape, but I don’t think that would be correct in english).
After, the humans shadows and the reflections over the ground also likes to me.

And, of course, the wave crashing against the breakwater!.

I hope you like it.

Carlos, simplemente GENIAL!
El tratamiento de los espacios, perfecto, ese cielo azul dominante, solamente perturbado por el choque de la ola (y un aviуn que se ve al fondo, aproximбndose al Prat... que quizб hubiera "eliminado" con una clonaciуn... porque la foto ha de ser de la zona del Port Olнmpic, o La Marbella, no??) El reflejo en el charco es lo mбs sublime que le veo a la foto... detalle de calidad. Quizб me sobre el aviуn y las sombras, pero a veces, lo que hay es lo que hay!
Felicidades!

Hola Carlos
Anda que no hace tiempo que voy al rompeolas la verdad es que creo que ahora ha perdido parte del encanto de antaсp. Como dices en la nota el tiro vertical esta acertado pero no nos dejes con la intriga de lo que pasa despuйs hombre... eso no se hace.
Por cierto esa sombra es quien yo me pienso???
PD: Joder la peсa se fiaj hasta en el avion, yo ni me habia dado cuenta jajajaja
Saludos
Sergio

Buena foto Carlos!
Un azul muy intenso, con una luz adecuada. Me gustan los reflejos de la ola en el muelle y el buen rollo que transmite la foto.
Buen trabajo
Un saludo!

A simple but excellent composition. Well timed for the crashing wave, which we can see reflected on the wet breakwater. One tiny complaint; the horizon is not quite level, but I'll forgive that for the superb timing.

Hi Carlos,
A dynamic shot caught at the decisive moment. I love the play of light and shadow in the foreground and your use of the vertical format to lead the eye forward to the waves. The various hues of the walking surface also enhance the scene. Fine work, Carlos.

Between two surfaces earth coloring dock and the fantastic blue sky,who bouth of them are static this spot very moving spot ....the wave ..make one exelent contrast with the sun light to the right and the four colors only giving emfasis,power, to the frame.Perfect synthesis..with swadows!!

hola carlos otra excelente toma, creo que en tu nota la describes muy bien. hay una sombra que me distrae un poco de las olas. pero creo que es una foto graficamente muy impactante. felicidades.

Hi Carlos. What a cool shot this is. The dynamics are off-the-chart. You might be able to crop some of the upper most area of the sky. Very nice catch Carlos!

Hi Carlos,

I am glad you included a dark shadow line in the middle of the big gap left between the wave and yourself, but what I would really like here is a bigger wave for the dimension you have presented, meaning that perhaps I would like to see the same wave with a longer lens ( Punto de fuga remaining intact ) because getting closer would mean getting wet.
Another technical aspect would be to take a darker picture and save the wave for more details while lightening the rest of the picture in PS. Nevertheless, the sharp and neat view, and the wave caught at the decisive moment make it a very good picture.
Wish you a nice week - Izzet
