Ambiance portoricaine... / Puerto Rican Mood...

Posted by Suzanne Labbé (Granby, Canada) on 30 March 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Nous avons été reçus comme des rois par Ed, notre ami portoricain, et sa famille. Après une journée dans la forêt tropicale, nous sommes revenus au condo et cette tourterelle à ailes blanches nous attentait dans un décor enchanteur. / We were received like kings by Ed, our Puerto Rican friend, and his family. After a day in the rainforest, we returned to the condo and this white-winged dove was waiting for us in an enchanting setting.

The very shallow DoF has worked well here to hi-light the points of interest while still allowing the warm glow from the background. Really makes this special.

@vu@granby - Wolfgang: Merci Wolfgang. C'est gentil. Je dois admettre que, pour moi, c'était un moment magique. J'ai pris cette photo en vacances et j'étais à ce moment précis avec ma belle-maman et son compagnon portoricain.

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan

Tres belle composition, j'aime beaucoup les lignes des branches utilisant les 2 principales diagonales. Le batiment floute derriere donne une lumiere chaude a la photo. Une photo tres jolie a regarder qu'on accrocherait tres volontiers au mur.

The colors are gorgeous...very soothing. Love how you framed this. The pink flowers add just enough color to the image without being too intense. I also love the light. Very well done!
