Summer...


I love reflections.
It's hard to make a picture with a good reflection that also adds some freshness to the perspective. I think i achieved it in this photo.
The setting is one of my walks with my dog (Maria) on the beach. It's quite late in the day and the colors are really rich and saturated at this time. By now you should know that this is my favourite time to shoot, ever.
This couple was searching for a kind of molluscs that is very popular in Portugal, they're called "Cadelinhas" or, as we say in the south "Conquilhas".
The fact that it's so late, makes this picture more like a drawing than a photo. It's just shadows and highlights that tell us what's going on. You couldn't recognize the people in the pictures, or even what they are doing, exactly.
The sea is really dark, almost like a black sea and the line of the waves breaking on the shore divides this picture perfectly.
I wish I could make more pictures like this that involve reflections...
This picture was taken with a DSLR, in Portugal
