G'day Jose,
I love the feeling of fantasy about this one with all its colours and surreal lighting, reflections and even sky colour. The full flash works a treat to highlight the foreground the way it does. Very well conceived and executed and very appropriate for the theme.
Cheers, John

g'day Jose - this is my fav. of yours in this gallery - Wonderful vision for even thinking of putting this together. there is soooo much in this pic to see after the initial dramatic composition & colours draw me in. thanx. adrianox.

I did'nt use any flash at all. It's a PP from 3 pics (lake, boat and sky), with lighting effects (filter > render...). Have a good day.

Almost looks "dreamy" to me. Great color.

Nice one José. I like the perspective and of course the fantastic colors in this image.

Great use of fill flash, which brings the color out in the foreground. It is probably just a tad too strong (or the distant background a bit too dark), and this makes for all the comments about "unrealistic". I like it with this surreal feeling.

Excellent shot, José. I like how the bow of the boat juts out of the water and the sunrise/sunset sky in the background. Great contrast.

The sky is so colorful- like the blue of the boat. Good strong colors.

Very interesting approach. I like the colours a lot... they are somewhat surreal. However, the picture seems too "tight" for me, I think that the boat should use some space around... a bit.

Jose, of your three entries I like this one the least. It is indeed colorful but just seems out of balance.

Thank you, Alain, for the tip. I think too it looks better now.

Quite surreal! Nice capture and use of flash. I really like it!

It looks unrealistically beautifull (and colourfull). A very striking image anyway...

Congratulation.

Marc.
