One of the coolest massage spot you will ever find is right here. Marcos is the busy man working in this typical country construction.
We met him in our first visit in 2001. Both Martine and we feel in love with his hands!!! Powerful at times, and so skilled to find and heal pain.....

The gazebo is on the cliff, right on the edge while the massage table is on a platform over the ocean. So when he is taking care of you, and you are laying helpless face down, you enjoy the ocean view through the plexiglass floor, you hear the ocean waves breaking against the cliff, while soft music is still playing. In a minute , you think you are in heaven!

Marcos is a busy man! Last year, he was fully booked during our stay. We could not even have an appointment! Well worth a visit!

Technically:

Nothing much , Adjusted Dark tones a bit to see better the shaded areas. Cropped the image , added frame and title.

Original shot added as WS
Have a great day!
Robert

Allo Robert,
Une casa bien invitante! Quelles couleurs vitaminées. J'imagine que le son des vagues doit remplacer les petites musiques à la flûte de pan :))
J'aime beaucoup ta composition et le ombres sur le sable blanc. Puis-je te soumettre mon inconfort avec la couleur de l'encadrement. Je pense que ce bleu est trop fort et qu'il vient assommer cette jolie photo. Bon, c'est juste mon opinion. Cela ne m'empêche pas pas d'apprécier tout le reste! bravo! Annie

PS/ Je viens de lire ta nouvelle intro. Quelle mine d'outils, tous ces liens de logiciels. Merci du partage

10/10 color , composition, place, frame
wow wow wow
Christine.

Wow, the colours are amazing...the pov, framing and sharpness are all very good.

What a beautiful place, and yes I'd LOVE a massage! Especially if it was in this scenery! I love the signs you've captured, a great testament to his business. Great color and sharpness, the lighting is perfect, well done.

Nice image you have here. Beautiful place to go for a massage!
Good framing.

Wonderful photo, warms me just to look at it.. Funny how blue being a cold colour can make you feel warm too! Nice framing too TFS Helen

Hi Robert,
Via your posting on May 12th I end up with this one...Ohhh boy I'm longing for such a wonderful sunny place! Relaxing and being pampered by the always hospital Cubans. Perfect view my friend, hope you feel a bit better now! Take care and TFS!
