Description

I captured this pano in WalvisBay, Namibia in March last year. It is a lovely vista right by the lagoon and I loved the contrast between the blue-green of the water and the red boathouse and boats! To me the gulls complete the picture! DO ZOOM!!! Thank you for visiting and for your wonderful comments and favs on my "6X Cute" upload of yesterday! Stay well! Hugs Carin xx

I never really realized, until I came here the last # of days, how powerful you are at handling color, shade, and the texture of light itself. Your postwork, or work with lenses, settings in the camera, etc, is very painterly: You create rich modulated surfaces, you're very strong with upper & lower sky hues (and how they morph in & out of each other through that center silky gray), the bay itself with its signal reds and almost unreal detail on the ground--unreal only because, in this kind of light, one would expect rocks, pier, etc to be a bit blurred; but you're brought them out with real clarity and they're eye-opening--and a melange of blues & blue-greens morphing across the water from top to bottom. And your uppermost sky blues are luminous too...I wonder if you've painted before, even digitally: It's in you if you haven't. This image has a painterly presence, a small step beyond the threshhold; and the light suggests an inner vision as much as outer, with your love of the place seeming to illuminate it as much as the sun or your camera. I hope that made sense...it's a beautiful dream of a capture, with a tinge of transcendence.

This is postcard perfect, only more engaging than a postcard. What colors! I love that linear crop you're presenting as well...it just pulls the eye from left to right or from right to left. And as you know, flash pretty colors in front of me and I'm like a cooing baby, and wow! Those colors are rich and gorgeous! Wonderful work. I love this!
