Evening Glow (Featured in Digital Extreme Lighting photography book by AVA Publishing, Switzerland)

A nice quiet evening at Long Beach outside the restaurant. The sky

colors were awesome and I like the balance of the two lamp bulbs with

the other 2 curved lamps at the background. What is your opinion?

aaah, that's nice! cool diagonal angle of the light posts, too.

Look at the colors. I love it. What about more sky on top to lower the main subject just a notch?

and superb use of the "oversized" beautiful lamp...

 

fantastic reflections too

Technically, this is a great shot! Very accurate exposure and good color balance.

 

I love it!

Brilliant, the theme of light captured with wonderful elegance and style. A crisp colourful capture - Brilliant, thanks for sharing this one.

Great composition and colors...

Many thanks to so many distinguish members for the kind comments. This is actually a vertical shot and after looking closer at it I thought a square crop will be much better; now I feel I am correct.

 

The cool night, the evening glow, the rustic lamps, the restaurant - all set for a memorable romantic dinner. Wish I was there again.

Beautifully done Alec. Great colors and composition.

Great the colour!!!!!

Wow! Great color and light! Marvelous shot!

amazing colors for this beautiful picture!

Thanks for commenting on my portfolio!

Very nice colors and composition!

well done!

Fantastic shot Alec

Hi everyone, thanks for your comments. I really appreciate it.

Looking at this photo again, I begin to like it more. Just upgrade my ratings on it. Kudos.

Wow! Thanks Ray. Appreciate it. You have a creative eye and it shows in your portfolio which I enjoyed very much.

well done exposure and saturation.

Ofcourse the colors strikes me, the mood, and especially the yellow in the lights, I think after your romantic diner, this was the only thing you could answer it in this fantastic picture

Thanks Dennis.

 

Gee, Else, wouldn't it be nice if Loft and you can join me for dinner in a place like that? Or why not all who are interested from PN. I'm sure we can share experiences the whole night long. LOL.

Excellent work,congrats!!

Very nice colors, good composition. I like the square shape for this photo too.

Alec, this is a wonderful shot with brilliant colors and interesting perspective. The square format works out well for me. If I may add, a little bit of evening light falling on the side of the lamp post (instead of being completely silhouetted) to show some details would have made it perfect. BTW, what is the strange transparent object overlapping with the 2 lamp posts on the right?

Thanks Patrick, Jos, Roberto for your kind comments.

 

Daniel, that's the glass panel sides from the restaurant on the right. I didn't realize there was a little yellow reflection from the lamp on the panel - adds a nice touch to the image. Thanks for visiting.
