Gigantic nature, a photo from Para, North

Photographer's Note

In this morning I observed the fishing that in the dawn went down the rapids with its rudimentary nets the biggest river of the world. Its dimensions, the volume of water, the abundance of fish, the extensive and dense forests to its edges, everything here and superlative. To the first lights I could notice that the clean atmosphere and the clouds in flakes would go to provide a pretty dawn.Immediately I caught my camera. I made two images, one with the still pink sky, that I will show to follow, and this with the first sun rays. In my mind I thought in the portliness of the nature with its dimensions and colors.

Superbe photo Antonio, les couleurs sont superbes, le cadrage excellent.
Felicitations !

Amazing. I like the colour gradient, the choice of keeping the horizont very very low, so that the fishers appear even smaller in comparison to the sky. It really mekes you feel the giganticness of the nature there in the Amazon forest.

Very nice one Antonio,
I love the sheep clouds, the colours and the good composition, very nice job you did, with my compliments.

TheG1 (1509) 2004-09-29 4:22

A beauty!
Excellent composition. The blue sky is changing color as you continue to look down to the water. You managed to capture the moment, worth waiting for dawn in such a place.
Well done.

Very nice sky with a well placed subject.

bebecam (161) 2004-09-29 6:56

Very strong composition chosen, feels as though you have a lens converter (e.g. telephoto lens) on or something. I think i've also made a comment abt the picture with the pink sky few secs ago. These two pix are irresistible (迷人 in chinese)!

Beautiful picture... the 2 guys on the boat look so small, and the sky so huge... it gives me that feeling of gigantic nature you used in the tiel, which matches very well the atmosphere of the image. Well cropped, I like the way you set the boat on the lower left corner to increase that feeling... well done.

oochappan (4880) 2004-09-29 7:22

Outstanding, colors, clouds, actors, depht framing and composition, all well balanced together is making this photo incongruent. Excellent work Antonio !

WALTERito (351) 2004-09-29 9:30

Just amazing. The freshness of the slightly clouded sky, the promising warmth of the first rays, the vastness of the river... and a few tiny people in there somewhere. It's all very well proportioned. Excellent.

nbournas (3229) 2004-09-29 11:47

Beautiful capture that shows how beautiful unspoiled nature can be. Great colors.

sandpiper (6788) 2004-09-29 21:26

Excellent composition with the fishermen in the corner. Nice combination of sepia tone to the water with the blue early sky, well done.

What to say looking at this kind of photo. Amazing. It's enough.

Oldtree (2457) 2004-11-03 16:50

It's like a treasure search. And I found one in your collection. Beautiful treasure you produced here. This huge fantastic sky let the boat with the two people appear even smaller. Excellent composition. I like it very much.

Nгo sei como me tinha escapado esta Antуnio.Que cйu fantбctico!As nuvens parece que formam um autentico tapede por cima das nossas cabeзas. O barco na minha opiniгo й o que transforma uma boa foto, num magnifico trabalho. Parabens

Les pкcheurs sont tout petit devant ce ciel immense qui n'en fini pas. C'est impressionnant. Il y a peu d'йlйments mais c'est d'une grande beautй

Une image magnifique, ce ciel est fabuleux, moutonnant а souhait. La mer avec ces pкcheurs sur un eau dorйe, c'est merveilleux. Amitiй/jr

Espectacular captura, Antуnio. O efeito perspйctico dado pelas nuvens й impressionante e as cores e luminosidade fazem uma bela aguarela. Excelente posicionamento dos pescadores para nos fazer sentir a grandiosidade da Natureza.
