[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I had always wanted to visit El Nido in Palawan. I certainly was not disappointed when I got there. El Nido is picturesque and indeed a tropical paradise. I wish I stayed longer. I was under a tree when I took this photo, the sand was burning hot and I left my shoes on the boat. The sun kept appearing and disappearing. Thanks for stopping by. I intentionally broke the rule of thirds by placing the horizon on the center.

Hi Danilo

El Nido is looking great as a possible Philippines holiday destination for me in January. When it's minus 20c in Seoul! Good color, sharpness & light contrasts. Tfs!

Hi Danilo,

I can't help looking at this dramatic clouds as if rolling quickly in the blue sky one rushing towards the horizon... I like the natural strong light in the center of the photo and the shadow covering a part of the FG, the colors, the scene, the white sand, the hills it looks brillient, beautiful... breathtaking...

all the best and greetings
suzy

Welcome Danilo,
beautiful beach. Beautiful picture. Amazing sky with clouds formation, excellent colours and composition.
Regards - Slawek

A wonderful atmosphere by the tropical seaside,

A pleasant composition with a good division of the frame!

Hi Danilo,
What a fantastic site!
I like much this contrasted image with the threatening sky and the relax pose of the swimmers on the beach! The play of shadows and light gives a great interest at the scene and the reflections of shades on the foreground enhance the fast move of the clouds and our impression to be there! What I would like, for sure! :)

Ciao Danilo, fascinating sea view with fantastic sky, splendid light and wonderful colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

This is really nice Danilo. I'd love to visit the Philippines some day .. there are so many beautiful spots there.
Really nice perspective here .. love the spot of sunlight on the beach, altho is it maybe a little overexposed?
Great wide angle view though .. great colors, great-looking beach and water.

Coucou Danilo,
Ce ciel est super, les nuages nous offrent une perspective et un jeu d'ombres et lumière très riche. La partie centrale me paraît un peu trop lumineuse... mais bon, il y en a encore certains qui vont me dire que je me trompe...
Bonne journée mon ami

Hello Danilo,

The light contrasts in this shot are amazing. You have created a very good 3D effect from the rushing clouds and the f/g sand.
Whatever rules you have broken don't really matter as this photograph certainly works in engaging the viewer!

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hi Danilo, I like this composition of the beach scene on Palawan a lot. The lighting gives a special somewhat surreal ambiance. The boat on the sand and the people are well positioned and scale also. The sky is a special treat. TFS. Murray.

Hi Danilo,
Wonderful large view captured with your Sigma 10-20 (as you noticed I'm in love with mine); great colours and light, and a fantastic DOF and perspective.
Congrats, mb

Hi Danilo
wonderful perspective and deepness in the shot
10-20 effect! very good
great blue in the sky
ciao
Lucio

Hello Danilo,the lighting with the shadowed areas creates more 'zones',so the horizon in the centre of the shot is not a problem.
I am glad that you included some people on the shot,they complete the composition for me.
It certainly looks an idyllic place to be.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Beautiful dramatic sky with those great clouds, I like the green-blue sea.

Olá Danilo

Que lindo céu fazendo sua sombra na areia.
Linda paisagem, as cores da água são belas
e a composição muito agradável.
Parabéns, um bonito trabalho.
