Manila Bay, a photo from Manila, NCR

Photographer's Note

Possibly among Manila's greater charms is the beautiful sunset across Manila Bay. On a clear day you get these bright bursts of red and orange colours. The Bay Walk along Roxas Blvd is one ofmy favorite things to do around sunset time.

Unfortunately when I was there on Friday it wasn't so clear. Still the post storm purples and their reflections in the water were beautiful.

this is a great capture after the storm the smog somehow clears up so you have a better
horizon. I love the way the water is still here at the Yatch club.

Hello Rebecca,
Fantastic the atmosphere of calmness and relax of this photo. The colours of this sunset and reflections of the boats on water adds so much to it.
This is really a beautiful place to be.

Olá Rebecca
A disposição dos barcos na água me chama atenção assim como o céu que está simplismente lindo. Cores e reflexos maravilhosos. Parabéns.
Abraços,
Vera.

Hi Rebecca, this is indeed a wonderful picture. I love the relfections in the water, and the contrasts between the grey and dark colors of the water/boats, and the sunset orange tones... it softens a lot the center of the picture. I love it.
Are you living in the Philippines or Sri Lanka? As a tourist I have visited the Philippines, and I must say I didn't like Manila... a big mess, lots of pollution and traffic... I didn't see it in that light.

Hello Rebecca,

There's an amazing atmosphere in this image, maybe due to the dark color of the water. The spots of light in the background are really well captured.

Best regards, Laurent.

It may be cloudy that day but you have a beautiful sunrise photo with good subtle colors. Effective composition. Cheers. Danilo

he rebecca
amazing shot of this harbour, the backlight gives a really good atmosphere and we know it's very difficult to manage light in such condition, you did it very well.

best regards

Hi Rebecca - the "bad" weather worked positively in my opinion, this would have been boring under a clear blue sky, wonderful reflections.

The ships aren't swim, they rather floating, like in a dream... I like the the colors of this picture!
