Oh boy is this colorful...crisp and clear. Love the different blues of sky and water.

The sand is close to a glare although that may not be helped. What about cropping off a smidge on the lower side?? Getting rid of those first two chairs and some of the brightest sand??

Great shot though...lol...gives me a couple of minutes to enjoy something other than cold and snow.

Very pretty. Love the colors. Like the pink. Reminds of the movie, Couples Retreat. Wish there were an object in the water. Thank you for sharing.

    I would like to see someone or something in the ocean. Maybe people on the sand as well.

This looks to be a perfect place to just lay around and just take it easy. I love the sandy beach and also looking out there at the cool water, I love the colors here, keep up the great work and thanks for taking me away for a while, now back to reality. JackJr.

This is a truly colorful and lovely shot. A "Wish I was There" shot indeed. Both the sky and see have the most lovely colors and the pink sunbeds and parasols are standing out in the most excellent way.

Your photo is also nice and sharp and it is such fine details to be seen. The white sand is probably very close to being blown out, but all together I think the exposure is good. I also appreciate the crisp and clear colors.

I think cropping to a panorama works really well and it is a good balance in the composition with the beds and parasols off to the right. A truly lovely and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.

This is very nice! The angle showing the curve of the beach is beautiful :) The focus is excellent! The colors are great! The pop of pink in the chairs gives this even more interest:) Beautiful work and a pleasure to view! Lori

Comment from mudge


A really well caught and colourful image
I particularly like the contrast in blues between the sea and cloudy sky
It's a great record of the scene as it is, but photographic wise, the pocket of pink in the bottom rh corner is highly dominant, and therefore gives an unbalanced composition Nothing you can do about that though, if your aim was to record the scene as it was!
Its a sharp colourful and highly competent record shot

Another good image, which would be better photographically speaking, could be created by cropping off the rh side, just past the umbrella over the man with the blue trunks. This would produce another first class image, containing just a smidgen of pink. I'm aware it's not what the original image was meant to project, but it's another alternative shot of the same area, thereby getting 2 for the price of 1 !!!! LOL
