A very nice capture, with great detail in the picture.

I take it this was due to the ND x 4 filter you had that allowed you to use a slow shutter speed to capture the movement in the sea and clouds?

It almost looks like a HDR image with so much detail included throughout the image.

Well it is an image that caught my eye.

Kind regards

Rob

Thank you all for your kind comments. I understand why this picture could let someone think of and HDR, but that's not. Indeed the dynamic range of this picture is not more than 4 stops. The sky was overcast and this produced a perfectly diffused light all over the frame. In PS I've only increased a bit contrast and saturation.

Thanks again,

Paolo

Thanks again everybody for your kind comments.

That is an amazing picture!

do you mind me asking how long you opened the shutter for? it may seem like a stupid question but im new to photography.

once again, Amazing

Thank you all for commenting, I really appreciate that. Sean, of course asking is never stupid... :-) exposure time was 20 seconds, obtained by filtering the scene with a polarizer (2 stops) and 5 more stops down with neutral density filters.

Cheers,

Paolo

This is one of the most breathtaking beautiful images I have seen.

It is truly a inspiring and well done photograph.

Sincere Regards, Todd

Great looking shot. Colors really look nice together and the blur of the water makes the shot for me.

Dear Sir,

This is Flora from Taiwan. I'm writing a book of Monet's painting and trying to explain his point of view. Your photo is perfect to compare with Monet's painting. I wonder if you would grant me to use your photo in my new book. I will indicate the name of photographer, of course. However I may need a larger photo ( high resolution) for printing use.

My E-mail address is: dtmmflora@yahoo.com.tw

I would highly appreciate if you would lend me the photo. When the book is published (but it is in Chinese), I am glad to send one volume to your as exchange. Looking forward to hearing from you.

With best regards

Have a nice weekend!

Flora

Paolo-

Wonderful composition and beautiful coloring, I Love It! I would definately hang this on my wall.

Wonderful Indeed this is! I love the motion in the waves and sky. At the tip of Baja California in Mexico, land's end, there is a similar arch...

cheers, r.

Paolo,

Monet painted it more closely, but you did it very well. Congratulations for the composition and colors. Josemi Gondra.
