[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was sunbathing by a hotel pool when I saw this group below on the beach. I risked unbalancing my suntan by turning over to grab my camera and rested the lens via a beanbag on the back of the sun bed. The things we do for our art! Actual focal length (345mm).

Hi Vic
A bit of a snapshot, but a delightful capture - well spotted. Very nice metering in difficult conditions, white dresses and dark skin in sunlight is asking for trouble, but you did a great job.
Nice work
