the sail boat is the best ing the shot. the red hat though does add a pop.


the birds add to it. nice shine like the ocean.

Comment from Photography byTrixie


Kind of a bizarre image. You have the beautiful waterscape complete with lovely sailboat and birds, the waves, the bright light reflections off the water giving it an almost silver appearance. Just gorgeous. Then you have this guy who seems normal from shoulders down but looks like this empty space before you see the shoulders and head. Like the red hat which gives the picture a splash of color but he must be an alien LOL
Great picture

This is beautiful seascape photography. You seem to have captured the essence of lazing around!The clarity of the image is good. The distant blue sky, the blue sea, the guy in the foreground make it a well composed shot. Good luck in the contest!

wonder beach photo that leaves one in the question of what story do we want to project on to the scene, the man, the backpack, the sailor and the gulls ... this is gallery worthy. the only suggestion I have would be one of preference and that would be the use of a filter to bring out just a tad more blue and I do mean just a tad. Well done

great initial impact, very clear, sharp focus, love the blue of the water and the depth and details of the ships and background land. good capture of man sitting in beach chair with bag. pop of red sets the whole picture off , good touch. well framed

Super initial impact.The landscape with the distant mountains at the horizon gives a good effect to the shimmering sea and the sky.The sailing boat and birds make viewing interesting and bring the focus to the centre the netted easy chair the bag and the man with the rd cap. Good image for painting.

Comment from Alveria


Really nice photo that definitely tells a story. I love the capture and inclusion of the birds in the sky and the sailboats. I also like all the tones of blue from the water and sky with a splash of red from the man's cap, nice contrast. Great light reflections on the water and nice positioning of the sailboats within the frame. This photo screams summer! Good luck.

A great genuine summer situation, well composed and well framed . I love the view point with the huge sailing boat in the distance so we experience what he watcher is experiencing just by looking at the same scene - fantastic angle and position, great focus, genuine contrast and lighting , perfect exposure - your artistic enhancements turned out perfectly - the two birds are perfect , this scene is fantastic - all the best for the contest
