[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
How glorious it is to wake up to an early morning scene like this. The beach was quiet, there was low tide, the water was calm, and the reflection was incredible. The inlet shown to the left is Willy's Rock, a curiously shaped volcanic formation. Willy's Rock is so closely identified with Boracay that you find it featured in practically every postcard and travel brochure on the island. The only rock formation along the entire four-kilometer length of White Beach, Willy's Rock stands out like a dark dot on the immaculately white shoreline, becoming an island at high tide. A shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary stands atop the rock.

The polarizer helped in enhancing the blues. PP work included tone mapping and then resizing.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Hi Danilo

Wonderful symmetrical reflections in the tranquil lagoon, with superb sunset colours & good sharpness. Good warm cold color contrasts, between the blue & orange, & the people add scale & context. Have a great weekend!

Oh Danilo...tout simplement magique, le jeu de réflection est tel qu'on a l'impression de marcher dans les nuages.
J'aime beaucoup ces nuances tendres cela apporte une très belle atmosphère.
Bonne journée

Hello, Danilo -
Wow! So many great elements in this image - the dramatic sky is "doubled" in the reflection of the tide pool on the beach. The juiced-up blues as phenomenal. Very sharp details of the strollers and the contours of the sand. Superb image!

Wow, fantastic early morning shot Danilo.
Everyone has already said everything .. and I'll just agree. My favorite thing is the reflection of the clouds in the water, and also the vividness of the people on the distant sand bar. Just great!!

Hi Danilo,

There's not too much to add to what others have already written, but this is a really beautiful shot. I especially like the cloud formations and their reflections in the pooled water. TFS

Simply stunning composition and skillful exposure of this breathtaking scene. The reflection of the clouds on the water add a dreamy effect and the use of the CPL has really brought out the details of the clouds without OE them. TFS!

Hi, Danilo. This is beautiful and I must say you are lucky to capture this wonderful scene. Great saturation of cool colors and reflections of the clouds with perfect timing in the lagoon. By including the figures you have given the scale. Just awesome. Cheers and TFS.

Hello Danilo,

Your notes perfetly describe the scene.
Your pov takes advantage of the converging lines of water and sand, leading the eyes into the shot.
The people add interest, scale and perspective but the most notable aspect is that wonderful cloudy sky with its detached mirror-like reflection.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)
p.s. What hapenned to the bridge? I was critiquing it and it suddenly disappeared!

Clouds that we call thunderheads are so spectacular and with this shot the reflection is awesome, being divided by the white sand.
Very nicely composed with good results.

dear Danilo,
a fantastic picture of the amazing view of the sky and the sea.
the combination of the diagonal perspective and the mirrored image is elegant.
and the color contrast between shining pinky white of cloud and pale/deep blue of water and mountains is impressively beautiful.
thank you for your splendid picture,
