Image:PortoCovoWinter1.jpg - featured[edit]
Info Porto Covo, west coast of Portugal during Winter. The picture was taken near midday, almost in countre-jour, to stress the contrast bewteen the surf foam and the dark cliffs. (Henry the Navigator seated in that bench, to observe his fleet departing to Africa... ;-) ) Created, uploaded and nominated by Joaquim Alves Gaspar
Support --Alvesgaspar 13:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC)- Support That's really beautiful, well-composed, and with excellent lighting, which must have been difficult. I wonder: is the middle section of rocks fuzzier because of mist in the way? Stephen.job 14:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Two reasons: the (incomplete) contre-jour effect and the mist caused by the surf. Wind was blowing strong from NW (the islet is at S, more or less). Alvesgaspar 15:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Oppose --Jeses 19:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC) Nice picture, but i think the saturation and contrast are a little bit too low.- Support Simonizer 09:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

- Oppose Agree with Jeses. Alvesgaspar should buy himself a polarisation filter. --SvonHalenbach 16:05, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
