Comment from Mr Jones


it sure is a natural looking picture. i agree i almost never use flash and when i do i stick some brown tape over it. a really good composition and a happy vibe picture. you are so diverse in subjects and feelgood image to view. perfect for the competition entered and you are correct as nothing touches the feeling of a good beach stroll.

    Thank you, you covered all I wanted to tell with that picture. I do not like flash. Even at night I rather use a simple torch light. [Torch light - is that the right English term for those battery lights?]

a wee bit dark, but the sense of joy certainly comes through. I like the shadows, I like the wave movement, I like the clouds and the wave patterned sand. Wish I could be there to walk the beach too. Donkeyoatey

    You are probably right. May a bit dark. I hat to go down with the light for its hardness and the to much reflecting sand. Probably I did go down to much. I am often accused of being to dark.

You are right the shadow does not detract from this shot at all. Great colors she looks likes she belongs on that stretch of sand. Like the leg shadows too. Strong focus and clarity.

    Thank you, You review means always a lot to me.
    She indeed belongs there. She is an resident of PaaMul. That is the 3 mile around trip where we usually walk or dogs in the morning [hence the leash around her neck. The dogs are way ahead in the water.

    Fun! I bet the dogs love your morning walks!

    They do! Hard to get them home. They would like to stay all day there.

Very Nice indeed!. No problem with the shadows, for they increase the fact that there is lots of sun and warmth. Would love to be there!!!

    Thank you. Everybody likes to be here; but this is only the half of the picture. There is weather even in tropical paradise. Our village were several times severe damaged by hurricanes and once by as wildfire. But we always rebuild and still love it.

I like the sky's color, you captured it well.
The water is just as stunning to view. She looks relaxed and enjoying her self walking along the shore...what A beautiful day.

Clarity, presentation, center of interest and composition are very good.

Can't believe there is a better way to start the day than take a walk like that! This shot has both fine sharpness and exposure plus a thoughtful composition. It has been nice to review, well done!
