Now this shows a keen eye for a cool shot. Perfect line up of the sun beam and the bottle. Plus such a nicely composed scene at a great angle and with the umbrella over the sun. Beautiful sunrise lighting too. Very well done!

Well I hope the bottle is full soon! I need sunshine and warmth sent to NY as soon as possible. Winters are too long!
You live in a beautiful magical place. I enjoy your beautiful photos of seascapes and beauty.
This photo is lovely. Peaceful and inviting.
Well done!

It is such beautiful colors in the sky, and I especially like how nicely the rising sun is reflected in the sky water. Your timing is really good so that it actually looks like the bottle is filled with sun, and I don't mind if you send it to me. LOL

The half silhouetted sun beds and the umbrella are standing out sharp and well defined, and the exposure is perfect.

The photo is nicely cropped and the chairs are well placed off to the right and giving the composition a good balance. A truly lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

Fred,
Merci Beaucoup mille fois for the gift of sunshine! A beautiful picture of the sunrise over Samui Island , the sun bursting through the thin clouds as it rises above the horizon sending a golden sunbeam across the sea to fill your bottle waiting on the table between the sun-loungers & Parasol that the sun is shining through make it glow red. beautiful atmospheric composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A fantastic shot across the beach and ocean as the sun goes down on this beautiful island, creating a beautiful haze of purple, orange yellow that mixes with the blue sky and merges with the silvery, calm ocean. You have very skilfully managed to capture the reflection of the sun "flowing" into the bottle on the table, a superb touch to the piece. Great long DOF shows the land in the far distance and gives a sense of perspective, and the clarity is sharp throughout. Great POV, and overall an exceptional shot, good work :)

This is so very beautiful and it looks so warm! This is very well photographed with good focus throughout, nice clear image of your dreamy location, beautiful sunset colors , beautiful reflection over the water, umbrella with lounge chairs invite the viewer in and the bottle, collecting the sun is very clever and adds beautiful detail, I just know you are going to send that bottle of sun to Alaska! Very well presented and a pleasure to view!

Clever to open umbrella and place the glass bottle in perfect alignment with the reflecting sun.
Excellent POV, superb use of natural light and fine sharp focus.
Another beauty Fred!!

    thanks a lot Sandra for your kind comments: indeed I opened the umbrella as every morning but the bottle was there, someone forgot to take it; it gave me the idea to put in in the sun path....
