Atlantic Forest, a photo from Rio de Janeiro, Southeast

Photographer's Note

Ilha Grande shelters remaining areas of the Atlantic Forest, now almost extinct in Brazil. Since the European colonization, and especially in the 20th century, the Atlantic Forest has undergone intense deforestation, leaving less than 20% of the original vegetation cover.

Hello Alexandre,
Beautiful view of the rich vegetation along the strip of beach, the green stands out from the blue sky so well. The two large boulders make a great foreground as well. Very well captured with excellent clarity and sharpness.

A giant rocks on the beautiful shore, look as an imaginary turtle (like in Galapagos) and/or Hippopotamus lay under the sunny day, Alexandre.
balanced well from sea to sand, trees and blue sky.
Bravo for that beauty,
Ike

Hello Alexandre,
Really beautiful such a coastline where the forest reaches to the beach. It reminds me of Colombia.
The sandy beach is beautifully interspersed with gigantic boulders.
A very nice view from in the sea.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Alex,
,

so sad to read that these wonderful forests, the lungs of the world, are gone in such amount. Beautiful vegetation, impressive boulders, clear emerald water.

Kind regrad s Malgo

Hi Alex
Lovely seascape compo with the granite outcrops draws the eye a strong subject of interest. The marriage of colours between the lush foliage and deep blue sky do show off to the best here enhancing the contrast beautifully. A very competent shot, Congrats
Best wishes

Hi Alexandre,
Beautiful seaside view, a well balanced composition whit these big rocks in the FG, pleasant blue sea, nice sun light, tfs.

Hello Alexandre,
I like this kind of beach where vegetation provides shade so close to the water. These trees also look good in the photo, providing so many green tones along with those of the water. The large grey boulders are nice features in the foreground. The photo has a wonderful clarity and sharpness.
Kind regards,
Gert

Ciao Alexandre

Looks like Ko Tao in Thailand, a place I was lucky enough to visit long before the current spate of backpacker murders and staged "suicides", with victim's hands tied behind their backs. Let's hope THIS paradise stays that way. Those big rocks give shelter from the wind too. Tfs!

alvaraalto (29876) 2017-11-10 2:55

Hello Alexandre
A beautiful but also a sad picture if you realize the huge environmental destruction of this territory in Brazil and this Atlantic forest isn’t the only part of Brazil with this destiny.
The huge grey rocks looks like elephant taking a bath. 😊
Have a nice day, Groet Rob

Royaldevon (53412) 2017-11-10 6:46

Hello Alexandre,

Let's hope that your photograph is not all that remains of the Atlantic Forest in a few years time! It is a beautiful photograph, let's hope it will be protected!
I like how you have used the rocks in the f/g. They give immediate attention and truthfully, look like giant turtles!
The colours are just what they should be - green and blue!

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hi Alexandre,

The rocks are impressive. The point of view is showing the details of the rocks, of the beach, of the trees and of the mountains. The good luminosity is enhancing the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Alexandre,
Perfect use of the polarizing filter -the colors are amazing, I like very much how the green looks on the blue sky.
The huge rocks resemble the iconic Seychelles view.
Simply beautiful!!!

Uma belíssima imagem duma praia idílica ainda não destruída pela civilização. Gosto das rochas no primeiro plano e do ponto de vista a partir de água. Boa nitidez e cores. Parabéns!

fabianoleite (12941) 2018-01-14 9:26

Lembro-me desse lugar também. A transparência das águas ficou bem evidenciada, e as duas rochas formaram um bom desenho. Tudo com a abundância da mata ao fundo. Bom trabalho!
