A Very Artistic Portfolio!
These pictures are one of the most artistic I've seen in Photo.net They're much like good watercolour paintings, not just landscape photography. Thanks for bringing such essential photographs :)

Thank you for your critiques
I really appreciate your opinion, it`s a honor for me to get advice from such professional. I like your pictures, I can only hope that one day I`ll be takin` such quality pictures as you do.
Could you tell me what graphic software do you use?
Thank you,
Ivan Hrusovsky
Rui Costa , February 16, 2006; 12:17 P.M.
Thank you
Thank you Steve and Ivan for your words. Ivan I think you got the wrong portfolio :) I'm not anymore of a pro than you are and my photos aren't that great but thank you anyway. My ego says thank you Ivan :) As to your photos (and I already mentioned this) I think you just need to tweak them a little on your mac/pc after you take the shot (levels, crop, etc). As to the software the answer's simple: Photoshop. Anything else email me.
Alexander Kharlamov , February 19, 2006; 05:51 P.M.

Ola Rui! Ja nem metes os pes no meu portfolio...nem comentas nem nada...entao, que se passa?? Abraco!
Rui Costa , April 08, 2006; 06:52 A.M.
Thank you all for your visit and kind words. Alexander (Sasha) eu tenho visitado o teu trabalho como e obvio. Tambem sabes que funciono como tu, so comento quando gosto muito ou quando nao gosto nada :) Ultimamente tenho esperado uns dias para ver se os teus trabalhos se mantem online para poder deixar os comentarios mas o que tem acontecido e que eles desaparecem muito rapidamente. Tambem nao quero estar a deixar comentarios de 4 palavras porque respeito o teu trabalho mais do que isso. Vou passando. Um abraco
Alexander Kharlamov , April 08, 2006; 05:03 P.M.
Obrigado.A razao dos trabalhos que desaparecem e o facto de eu mete-los a pressa no PN, enquanto os fa篬 depois reparo num pormenor que nao gosto e vou muda-lo e fa篠o upload da nova, como n tou registado nao consigo fazer mais que um request por 24h...agora recorri a um novo metodo que e meter varias varia篥s com pormenores diferentes ao mm tempo, bem melhor que andar a apagar e a meter novo.Gosto muito do teu trabalho com os pombos, muito diferente, so que nao sei o k dizer que valha a pena ouvires, dado que palavras como "ta lindo" "exelente" ja nao tꭠtanto valor come确do a ser repetitivas...portanto ainda nao comentei nada. Ja nao falamos a imenso tempo, kd e k vais ca a casa??? Abraco.

Rui, how enjoyable it is to see your work. You are putting on somewhat of a clinic these days. Every image is truly remarkable. I don't know if you are actually getting better with every passing day or if you are only teaching me to see more clearly. You truly have the gifted eye and your ability to refine those images so well is evident.
