Fine composition and the capture of light is excellent. Very pleasing clouds, especially around the mountain.

@MahGol: Yes this beautiful light was real, I didn't change the colors :)

Marie-Hélène Ammor from Casablanca/Paris, Morocco

C'est drôle :la ville et la mer semblent rosées aussi ! La composition est superbe et tu as réussi superbement le ciel !

18 Jun 2008 3:37pm

@Marie-Hélène Ammor: Merci Marie-Helene. Effectivement les rayons du soleil sont trop bas pour un eclairage direct de la mer et des batiments, ils sont eclaires par le ciel qui leur donne sa couleur rosee. J'ai juste ajoute du contraste et une tres legere saturation.

It must be an experience living so close to that lovely mountain/volcano. The clouds around the top are very dramatic.
