Pan di Zucchero

Gallery: LandscapePosted October 1, 2010228 views14 comments

The south west coast of Sardinia has places of great beauty.
In this place (called "Pan di Zucchero") I like in particulary the colors of its rocks, due the mineral that contain, and that make it truly special.
I tried to capture a little of this beauty.
Thanks aLe

What an interesting place! The colors in the rock are unlike anything I've seen anywhere else. I'd like to see some shots of this place with a more dramatic sky, but still, this is a very nice shot, Alessandro.

Wow, this is really a fantastic place, those colours in the rocks are just sick! I love how you composed this picture, everything comes together quite well, for what concern the shore and water. The sky looks somewhat odd though, those clouds don't seem to match the rest of the scene...

I would love this place too if it was nearby...those are some awesome looking colors in the rocks. Nice comp too with the distant cliff and rock island.

Pan di Zucchero sounds more like a dessert. Those rocks certainly look delicious. What an amazing location. The composition looks perfectly constructed. I agree with Paolo that the sky looks a bit strange but I guess sometimes it does. Wonderful seascape.

Very pretty - especially the color of the rocks - never seen rocks with those colors, so very neat.

Love those rocks! A bit heavy on the RHS, did you try shooting straight up the lines in the rocks?

Lovely comp, great separation of elements and that foreground rock colour is really cool.

Nice work.
