Very nice and calm looking early morning landscape presented here, but where in the world is your beautiful island? Your lovely image is nicely composed, sharp and has good exposure. Well done and good luck!

wow what a fabulous scene and an excellent photo.. Such a perfect time of the morning you have captured so brilliantly to share.. Just love the clouds drifting in the sky with their beautiful hues of orange/ pinks /yellows and grey all blending into one amazing show.. The fleeting clouds add good feeling of movement to the scene , as do the couple walking along the shoreline.. so nicely silhouetted as they move off into the distance.. Fabulous angle used to capture the scene. The water with its reflected sun light rays creating an orange hue over its surface .. just stunning.. the ripples on the water add a feeling of texture and movement.. and the sunrays that are beaming right down from the middle of the picture offer added intensity to the view.. I love the inclusion of the land as it stretches into the distance and meets the horizon in the background. it frames the water nicely as does the foreshore , still silhouetted by the early morning light.. The photo emanates pure happiness and has such a tranquil peaceful connotation coming from within.. The couple in the distance are a nice addition and give it a more personal touch.. What a perfect place to be at that special time of the morning.. Excellent exposure, perfect lighting and great focus.. thanks for sharing this joyful scene. a true pleasure to review. best of luck in the contest

This is a very lovely sunset beach scene. Love the amazing purples and oranges in the sky and the sea. The diagonal sand line leads your eye to the couple enjoying the sunset. Love it.

This is well photographed with good focus, the image is clear, well composed with couple walking on the beach, I love this angle of capture to show both the water and the shore! Well presented!
