Leaving Funchal
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 22 October 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
The evening boat leaving Funchal harbour for the nearby island of Porto Santo.
Photographed from the same spot in Madeira as my last photo.

@GJC: Thanks GJC!

personally my favourite of the two...maybe because of the boat and it's more evocative of the sunset and title?

@Ted: Thanks Ted.....I think I prefer this one as well although the it's not often that I get to photograph rays of sun as nicely defined as the ones in the other photo.
@Ana Lúcia: Thanks Ana!

Well, well... It is hard to say something more precise than "amazing" about this shot. This just works. I like the panorama presentation here a lot. Georgeous light.

Ian, this is the sort of image I could see being used in commercial advertising. Your processing skills know no bounds, and you have ended up with a beautiful and amazing photo. Congratulations.

love this one even better! great style and composition and the line of bright light just over the horizon feels like a gate to another world far beyond...

Great view with splendid lights. I like very much this panoramic, more if viewed larger.
Have a good week end.

Just beautiful. I like the way the horizon sort of just melts into the sky.
