Pool of dreams Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another picture from our lodge near the Lake manyara np.
Also in this picture you can admire it.
I saw these people relaxing on the rand of the pool but no worries it doesn´t go down like it looks.
I really liked this lodge(most of all because of the pool)^^.
WOuld be happy about some hints
Best regards Toba

Hi Tobias, really nice little scene you've captured here with some lovely silhouettes and reflections. I would be tempted to crop away the seated figure on the right to leave the magic number - which is neatly repeated by the three cacti on the left. Great sky too.

Best regards, Roberto

This is something different from Tanzania Toba. I like the informal gathering probably relaxing after a hard day on safari. Their reflections in the pool are also a good feature of the image and of course Lake Manyara in the background. Well done

Very lovely image, Toba,
That evening light and the colors are beautiful. I love the shades of blue and the very peaceful feeling you've captured. I like the silhouettes and their reflections in the pool and I especially like the way that great sky fills in all the BG. Really, really nice! Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly

Hi Tobias,

It is a true privilege of being able to bathe with such a landscape… Which chance you had. Very beautiful management of the light in this photograph, I like the back-light and these soft colors. A true paradise. I understand your enthusiasm !!!

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles

Toba,
Another very relaxing atmosphere image. I would love to have even seen a pool when I was in Tanzania. And this one has a great view of Lake Manyara. I like the silhoutte of the people around the pool. My preference would be to leave some room after the last person the right, instead of touching the frame. That is to say if you have room on your original image.

Hi Toba,
tja ausspannen nach dem harten Tag muss ja auch sein. Muss ja echt ein tolles Hotel gewesen sein. Das Foto gefällt mir auch super, die Spiegelungen der Menschen sehen super aus. Der Crop von Way gefällt mir auch sehr gut, aber ich weiß nicht was ich besser finden soll. Ich mag beide Versionen.

Beste Grüße
Mark

Hey Toba!
Als ich das Bild gesehen hab dachte ich erst: hey cool!^^
Die Kompo is echt cool! Schöne Farben und vorallem klasse blautöne! Kann es sein, dass ich da meine Religionslehrerin erkenne?
Echt gute kompo!
Man sieht sich,
Kris

Hello Toba,

Exactly a ritual with this people on the rand of the pool.
Nice reflection of the silhouettes in the pool.
Also the green plants to the left make this picture very nice.
Very well done.

Have a nice sunday,
John.

Hi Toba,
Interesting view where the pool curve ends on the silhouettes, maybe frame a little bit more to the right not to cut the 4th one.
Have a nice day JY

dareco (17104) 2008-06-02 1:42

This is very pretty! I like all the colors. The plants look gorgeous! Very nice silhouettes, and a beautiful pool with a great view!! TFS and have a great day!

zmey (7282) 2008-06-02 6:50

Hello Tobias

a very nice setting here: the blue, partially cloudy sky against the saturated blue of the pool. the human silhouettes nicely enhance the mood. the greenery is nice too. i can very well see why you liked this place, friend :)

warm regards,
kristaps

Hi!
Ah, das ist also das Pool of Dreams wo du gesagt hast.
Schönes Bild, die Idee ist super mit den Personen rechts am Rand und deren Spiegelungen.
Auch der Bildaufbau ist einwandfrei. dazu schöne Farben, super Kontrast und guter pov.
Das Bild wirkt ein bisschen schief, das erkennt man va an den Personen, hättest du vll den Horizont noch ein wenig begradigen können.
Aber sonst wirklich schön!
Grüße,
Jonas

Hello Toba,

You've chosen an unusually effective vantage point to show the image. I like it very much. Having the mound of plants and colors on the left balances the silhouette of figures on the right. An experiment one might try is to present a more panoramic image (perhaps stitch another photo) and show more on the right. Do the figures stop at four, or do they keep going? They are nicely positioned, but another 10-15 length would help. Also a very good proportion would be 800x494, which creates a golden rectangle of 1.618 to 1.0. In any event, a very good photo.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hello tobias. Excellent angle with the pool looking like no boundary to it. Well captured perspective with human interest and stunning sky. Best regards. Jusni

Hello Tobias,

A lovely place!
Never have I seen a pool with such a view...
Unusual composition but it works nicely, a fine sense of depth and good colours!

Greetings,
