Still some very pretty colors and the umbrella and chairs make for an inviting and attractive composition. Excellent group of silhouetted palms too leaning into the scene. Framed very nicely. Well done.

Many would not think to open the beach umbrella and it makes a tremendous difference. Nicely composed with beautiful colors in the sky that are reflected perfectly on the water.

there was anoher umbrella that I opened to change the composition; from our first day there I noticed that the umbrella will be a good addition to the composition;

Your welcome

Comment from El-mundo
A fantastic capture, filled with a brilliant array of colours as the sun rises on this beautiful island - the long DOF is excellent and shows the incredible array of colours that the sky subtly and seamlessly fades through, from purples, pinks, yellows and wonderful orange (to name a few!), the latter of which casts a beautiful reflection across the ocean creating a sea of pink and orange. The silhouetted trees and loungers fit in brilliantly and give the piece good perspective. Sharp clarity and great POV - amazing capture Fred, well done :)

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A stunning sunrise picture over Samui Island with the pink sky & lavender blue clouds floating above the lightening horizon, the cloud just above the parasol resembles a swan in flight/ The beauty in the sky reflected on the flat calm warm waters surrounding the island With the palm trees, loungers & Parasol in silhouette adding extra beautiful points of view. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan
