A first rate panoramic capture.The expansive horizontal view here is great in combination with the subdued light,with the sun still painting pastoral colors in the clouds makes this a memorable shot.The silhouettes of the sails boats, on the foreground make the capture more interesting.Well done Emile.

I wish you Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year,Danos

Hola amigo Emile,
un bello atardecer con una luz y unos colores impresionantes, y unas nubes que decoran el cielo con elegancia. Los barcos anclados y en reposo inspiran mucha calma y dan un bonito grafismo a la composición.
Una foto muy apropiada para el espíritu de estas fechas.
Te deseamos una muy feliz Navidad en compañía de tus seres queridos, y que el año próximo esté repleto de paz, salud, alegría y felicidad.
Un fuerte abrazo desde Barcelona, amigo.

Groet Rob

pboehringer (770) 2007-12-24 16:36

Emile,
a wonderful year with many interesting travelling aroun the globe is coming to an end. However, what makes it even more special was meeting TE members at all the places that I went - including Dominican Republic - meeting you and Dario in Santo Domingo. Your imagine is a special for me, because it was a place that I went after your special recommendations.
Thanks for your friendship and I wish you and your lovely wife Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Any chances to see you around California next year?
Cheers, Peter

Hola Emile, yes, I hope that the sharing will continue for many years as well. Marvellous sky with a nice reunion of boats getting together to enjoy the special moment. Interesting graphism from all the masts and good inclusion of the rock in FG to give extra depth. A sunset is allways good to make us think about life...
I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and wish you a Happy 2008,

Hola Emile
Siento envidia de la buena por tu foto, porque desde hace algun tiempo he querido captar con mi lente un atardecer en condiciones similares.
Es maravilloso ver como la luz solar hace juego con las nubes encendidas, las siluetas de los veleros y lo apacible de las aguas.
Excelente composición y encuadre, buen trabajo

ekinokswest (2974) 2008-04-22 15:27

keeping the line of horizon as straight as possible and surely placing the sun at a very visible point between clouds and sea is good talent in this photo.
