Water in the nigth sky, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

Sorry by the quality of this picture. It's my frist from lisbon. And I use microsoft photo editor to resize ( don't joke with me, it's the only aplication I have where :) ).

This it's in Nation Park (ex-expo 98) it's a higth presion water pump, and was take 1 hour after sunset. You could see a star.

This image don't have any edit work, except resize.

I hope you like, with my limit resource

Wow, this is very interesting, Rafael, I could never guess what is it without reading your note. It looks like a super macro shot of a CD. I like it very very much - the diagonal lines, the colors, the shadow and that yellow piece in the upper corner. very well done.

Don't worry, I like it. The kind of soft focus works here. But the main attractions are the composition and the colors..

Dear Rafa, there is no need to excuse. I like the way the water is getting blurry from top to bottom because of the long exposure. The shadow within the water parallels the concrete where the water comes out from. Nice structure. Looks easy, but not easy to see and take :) Yours, Jan

hello, Rafael :)
another great composition of yours. i believe if you play with contrast/brightness it will be even better.
graphic... i like it a lot!
well seen. thanks for sharing.

Hello Rafael!
Nice shot here. Strange but beautiful!
Very well done!

olli (2091) 2004-03-17 7:13

Excellent subject, angle and framing. I like the "soft water". Very-very well seen and captured.

Midnight_sun (1941) 2004-03-17 7:14

I like this a lot, it has a very light feeling to it, like nothing matters. The lack of sharpness on the water give it this effect i think, and the single star. A great shot, well done.

Composi誽o abstracta interessante. Gosto bastante das cores. Tenta arranjar o Paint Shop Pro. J� consegues arranjar vers髊s de freeware e � um programa excelente.

Hi Rafeal great man. Good idea, very interesting picture. I agree with Yitzak it looks like a close up of a CD. Great colors and lines. Good note to. Very well done!

Riz (0) 2004-03-17 10:39

The soft focus is ok really don't even notice it's a different and strange at the same time, well done Rafael.

sunny (3069) 2004-03-17 12:25

Thanks to your notes I saw the star too - maybe I was going to miss it in first sight! :-) This is a wonderful composition made out of so simple details, that it proves how creative photographers can be. The little yellow triangle adds diversity in colours and brings a lot of vividness. Excellent capture Rafael!

allotfy (1525) 2004-03-17 12:51

very nice shot , your colors is very nice and the angle of shooting is great too , you have to try photoshopfor editing it is great

hdl (7035) 2004-03-17 13:44

Very original one, Rafael. Don't worry about the photo editor; you do very fine without. Thanks for the note; I would have never guessed what it was. I like your arty picture; works very well. Looking forward to your next one from Lisbon.

Edwin (188) 2004-03-17 14:17

The colours, the patterns, the element of repetition, you had a great eye noting the potential here. Very appealing return and well captured Rafael!

papagolf21 (152607) 2004-03-17 14:51

Tr鋊 belle composition contemporaine � partir de jets d'eau. Vous avez un art 嶰lectique en mati鋨e photographique et c'est tr鋊 bien. Vous 皻es un photographe � multiple facette.
Oui, nous voyons bien l'彋oile sur la partie sup廨ieure droite.
Tr鋊 bien fait Rafa螔.
Very beautiful contemporary composition starting from water jets. You have an eclectic photographic matter art and it is very well. You are a photographer with multiple facet. Yes, we see star well on the right higher part. Very well done Rafa螔.

zto (268) 2004-03-17 14:55

No excuses neaded Rafael. I like the softness of the water in this picture and the simple composition. Nice repetion in the lines, well balanced and symetric (And i really like symetrie)

Hope you are enjoying Lisboa :)

nwoehnl (122) 2004-03-17 15:06

Don't worry, Rafael, it's very good. Obviously your photographer's eye was at work in spotting and shooting this strikingly graphic motive. I like how the water jets are getting softer and blurrier towards the bottom, and they contrast very well with the blue sky. Great cropping with just a bit of the water pump in the upper left corner. Well done, bring on the next from Lisbon ;-)

hojper (2832) 2004-03-17 16:13

Rafael, a truly intriguing image. I lke it very much for the graphic qualities, and tried a workshop.

Excelente! Muito original e como nos acabas de provar, o equipamento n緌 � tudo! O angulo � perfeito e o contraste da luz at� meio dos jactos e depois sombra est� demais!

orme (7219) 2004-03-17 23:54

A very interesting composition, Rafael. The pattern made by the high pressure water pumps is very beautiful. The star on the right is just amazing. A great combination. Your note made me laugh - signed 'stranded with Microsoft photo editor'. Well done.

Rafa...
O enquadramento � exelente.
Surpreendes-me.
Parab幯s.

Very interesting Night shot here...
Great lines of water coming out with a nice sky. Very well captured.

jhonny_blue (4956) 2004-03-18 5:08

Bela foto Rafa !
O feito � incr癉elmente belo. Belas cores.

odemira (514) 2004-03-18 18:52

Excelente angulo de onde tiraste a foto. Ainda por cima nada de edi誽o na imagem tal como eu gosto, ao natural sabe tudo melhor. For蓷 rapaz.

Vagabond (5848) 2004-06-08 12:51

A very special picture, I would like to do. Maybe less time of exposition would be better to "crystalize" the water. Anyway, a nice picture ..

Uma fotografia muito bonita que eu gostaria de ser capaz de fazer. Talvez que um menor tempo de exposi誽o seria melhor para "cristalizar" os cord髊s de 墔ua. De qualquer dos modos, uma bela imagem ...
