You and me both! Looks so warm and inviting,can almost feel the sand between my toes and the warm,tropical breeze caressing my skin. A beautifully serene photo,I like the soft lighting. Hopefully things will soon get back to 'normal",I'm hoping that I don't have to cancel my beach vacation in September. Stay well and safe!

You are helping us to have better dream by sharing these pictures. The white sand and soft blue sky are colors of relaxations. The hammock is covered by the palm leaf- very appropriate for Easter. Great picture.

Very nice photo. I can feel the warm breeze while laying in the hammock with a cool drink in my hand. Beautifully composed. Good focus and lighting. Nicely done.

You are welcome.

My daughter has just returned from the Maldives where her partner proposed to her and she came back with some superb photographs which made me very envious and is certainly a place i would want to visit in the future. The photograph you have submitted emphasises those thoughts too with the beautiful sands.

Such are the things that dreams are made of. An idyllic scene that is artfully captured. A great view along the shore and a beautiful secluded corner of it.

Looks like a great place to relax in if there are no insects around! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of your lovely location. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

Ooh! This looks so perfect that it could easily be mistaken for a movie setting.

Comment from Zilyram
Could be quite some time before we get to enjoy tropical beaches or outdoor wilderness - nicely composed with the hammock positioned near the palm fronds. Beautiful handling of exposure and white balance.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A beautiful picture of this perfect tropical beach in the Maldives with the hammock under the shade of the Palm tree & the white sands stretching almost to the horizon, the the crystal clear blue sea under a clear blue sky with not a person to spoil the view. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
The lockdown WILL end & you will return... We must always keep hope in our hearts.
I just dream of the day I can walk outside my house!
Susan
