Very good planning in placing her where you did. It sure looks like a very peaceful setting. Good work in keeping it not over saturated! Great eye to spot her.

Interesting story.
I like the feeling of this photo, the look of the single woman, her umbrella and bag.
There's some poignancy here, but I'm not sure if I'm being influenced by the story you've told, or if the picture actually conveys it.
I do like the picture, the color and light on the umbrella, it's vertical pole, the woman and shadow beneath.
The bright beach and all its texture make good contrast with the many ripple of the water next to it.
The focus/DOF is very good.
Like the light.
simple and effective composition.
lovely quality you've gotten in this picture.
Looks like more than a photo.

You captured a sort of lonly feel with this. I particularly like the shadow on the beach pebbles. i think she has a bit of romance and intrigue..what a story she could probably tell! byframing this so well, you have given it a feel of timelessness, and dignity too! Donkeyoatey

Really love this image Annie.
I love the simplicity, the strong lines and shadows that lend her a painting like quality. Very emotionally evocative yet quite elegant.

Great effect. She does appear almost to be superimposed, but whether she was or not, does not matter, It is spectacular. Wonderful color and rules of three applied very well here. Nicely done Annie.

A very serene and calming image. I like the way you have framed your subject. Lighting is good, creating a shadow, and the colours are beautiful. The blue shade tones in very well with the sea and also the grey of the beach. The woman looks out to sea and I can almost feel what she feels as the waves gently lap the beach.

Great shot again, Annie. It's pretty easy to go to the beach and find the hard bodies to photograph, but some of the best photos are of the people yo don't often see. Well done!

I really like the feel and the composition of this shot. The colors are very nice as well. The only thing I can see is it seems to be over sharpened or a bit grainy, and maybe that is something that happened when converting to FAR site. But all in all it is a wonderful shot with a great feel. Really good eye on this one. :-)
