Evening at Cape Promthep, Phuket

Another look at the Cape.

I like the colour transition from the green in the foreground, which is warmer than one would expect -and very pleasing- to the colder hues of the sea, purplish, finally to the warmth of the horizon and upper sky.

 

A nicely-crafted sunset shot.

 

As your official (self-appointed) horizon checker, I see something strange with this one, the left hand side is higher than the centre. sort of mustache distortion?

maravilloso

Great color in the sky and looks like a great/inviting place to be!

Fantastic colour Alec. I like how the image is cleanly disected into 3 parts, the sea and the land look like 2 pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. very nice.

Yes fantastic color ! The colors from the sky are picked up throughout the water, which I like. The green hillside as it slopes down, what a great angle! From here my eye is led down to the shore. Wonderful to see the line from the surf on the land that it engulfs. Beautiful skyline, all the way to the horizon!

Watermark, Ben, Paul, Maria glad to know you guys appreciate this as much as I do. Yes, this place is full of photo opportunities.

 

Salvatore, as usual, very observant, thanks for your critique. BTW, did you measure the horizon tilt? Looks fine to me, anyone disagree? ^_^

Indeed, the horison goes down toward the middle of the shot, matter of few pixels, and up again towards the right. I think that's a distortion of the kit lens, which was remarked by other people on PN in similar shots. As from the exif, at which focal lenght did you shot this?

 

At any rate, it's a very small effect and does not detract at all from the beauty of the scene, as I mentioned in my previous post, but I've a thing for horisons: can't help.

Great job Alec! Love the tones and sky!

Thanks Peter. Gosh Salvatore, you really enlarged it and I didn't realised the distortion too. Perhaps it due to haze, unfortunately I didn't save the original file and lost the EXIF info but I have revised the image to clean up the horizon.

Wonderful small piece of paradise this place must be! Very crisp composition, excellent exposure control and the colours look all in harmony. Well done! Alex
