a wonderful seascape as I like, taken with a wide angle and from a low level; sharp focus with nice natural colors;
I would crop some of the top to avoid cuting the scene in half;

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


Wonderful capture with pure essence reflecting how our world was everywhere without pollution - awesome that there are still places like that giving hope

excellent view point, your composition is well framed, and has great harmony between earth water and sky - your shot is clear and sharp and excellent in contrast and lighting, color saturation is genuine exposure on the white perfect , a great nature shot, thanks for sharing

Comment from woodblewitt


To me a typical beach scene as I remember many holidays down there. You have brought out the vast stretch of sand nicely here with that still water filling gap between beach and waves reflecting sky. It is the sky which to me either brings you in to horizon or perhaps pushes you out to take in full panorama. Good height used for added perspective with just enough land space to make this an altogether "want to be there" pic plus no humans which is a bonus

Comment from Cephus


Like the converging lines and the shape of the hill in the foreground being mirrored in the background. Not too keen on the point of convergence being almost the point of convergence.
Good overall sharpness and exposure range.

Great presentation of this beach front with good composition of sand, land and sky.As a result of the nice symmetry the image avoids any danger of portraying negative space. The sharpness and clarity of the image is excellent

This is a a very serene and soft photo! It is so inviting and just asking for some footprints...... I love the balance and the way you have captured a vibrant piece of the blue sky in the retreating wave on the beach. You Have a good eye for symmetry and for capturing an ability to calm a soul. Well done and thank you for sharing!

"Sometimes" we get perfection on FanArt. This is one of those sometimes. I love the absolute beauty of this shot. The glorious sand, so inviting, with the water, reflecting the bluest of skies. The hint of landscape, tapering into the ocean. The beautiful clouds, dancing across the picture. I love it.

LOVE your POV here nm.

Very nicely put together shot. Focus is crisp and sharp. The vanishing sea meeting the sky is perfect. Colors are wonderful. You got all the details done really well here from the rocks lining the left to the white line of incoming surf on the right.

It's a beautiful shot w/ the perfect title too. Very nicely done.

Deborah

That's an attractive scene,nikman!
The 'right-down-on-the-wet-sands' viewing angle is pleasingly unique and it makes the picture very enjoyable to view!
'Good Show'! : )
