Photographer's Note
I'm feeling in need of some sunshine and warmth, to today I'm taking a trip back to last summer to revisit the beach! Taken just a short distance further along the shore from this shot this small beach is in the town of Clifton, Union Island. It was still during the main heat of the afternoon, many people were crowded in a sweaty bar to watch the World Cup final while I wandered off to enjoy a peaceful afternoon in the shade of a coconut tree.

Hi Susanna,
Perhaps if I'd had such a view, I wouldn't have watched the final either! ;o)
It's a peaceful scene and I like the way the boat in the foreground matches the colour of the water. The sunlit surface of the sea also contrasts nicely with those big, grey, fluffy clouds in the back. The only thing that bothers me, is the fact that I find the boat too centered... but that's really a detail.
Have a nice week-end (skiing, if I remember correctly)!
Bibi

La lumière et les couleurs sont superbes, mais le bâteau est peut-être trop centré.

Hello Susanna,
Very good composition making good use of the boat drawn up on the beach to take us further into the image. I like the contrast between the different positioning of the two sets of boats and the shadows in the foreground. Very good colours and definition.

Hi Susanna,
the lovely sunny colours and spectaculair sky as well as the barks and the turquoise water remind me of Curacao.
A beautiful and very appealing picture,
regards, Gerrit

Hi Susanna, and happy New Year! A pleasant Caribbean excursion in early January, and a nice framing for this photo to use the foreground boat and its shadow to establish the shoreside context and to build a good impression of depth and perspective as the viewer's eye wanders towards the background of the scene that you are presenting here. A delightful range of bright and vivid colors, nice photo. It's a good thing Switzerland didn't make it into the world cup final, or you might have missed this shot :o)

Wonderful colours, pleasant composition with a nice feeling of depth...

Salut Susanna,
Elle est pas mal ton image peut etre un peu trop centree mais agreable et c'etait une bien meilleure activite de se ballader dans ce decor que de regarder 22 joueur pousser la baballe dans la lointaine Germanie... Mais comme mon post de hier c'est pas trop le genre d'image qui me fait rever en ce moment, bon dis moi des photos de Zermatt t'en as plus ??? Pleeaaaaaaase ;-)
T'avais pas encore l'ADSL ou t'as change de fournisseur ? Soigne toi bien !

Bonjour Susanna,
bien sûr que ce sont les couleurs des Caraïbes. J'ai connu ces iles en République Dominicaine à Punta Cana, c'est vrai que cela fait rêver.
J'y ai pris une tempête et 2 trembelements de terre en 3 semaines :-).
Un très joli ciel comme je les adore.
La barque est en rien trop centrée.
Amitié.
Daniel.

Bonjour Susanna
Ca fait du bioen de voir de telles couleurs en ce moment. J'aime , même si la barque aurait été mieux plus à droite.
Amicalement

Hi Susanna,
I like this shot very much...the composition and POV are great, and what I like about it most, is the strange toning going softly into green...amazing effect it has on the atmosphere!
Take care, Ivana

Salut Susanna,
belles couleurs et bien composé a part le bateau en 1e plan un peu centré, à voir s'il était possible de le décaler.
J'aime bien les 3 bandes sable, eau, ciel.

Nice how the boats match the water, it makes for a very unified color scheme. The objects are well arranged in the frame, except (as bibiweb points out) that the foreground boat is too centered. It's a pleasant shot that carries me, as viewer, right to that beach! Regards, Ken.
