One of my favorite pleasure in life is music. I have never successfully played a music instrument in my life. But I can't live without music either. At the resort , you have musicians playing live in every restaurants and even at the buffet. And I am not counting the nightly shows. They are so talented. I will introduce you some of them in the future.

We were sitting at the lobby bar enjoying an apperitive. I noticed these two gentlemen discussing in a distance while the elder man is smoking his cigar. The theater is actually the space between us. We met them later on the beach. They were part of a group of six.

Note the sun was setting slowly behind them giving this interesting light.

It is not the best POV and compo, I know. But I could not move much from my seat and they were gone a few seconds later, as they were about to join their partners.

Cheers!
Robert

This is a fine composition, Robert!
Image fills me with anticipation... what is going to happen here soon..?
Vegetation adds something extra as I presume silky tropical night soon will be a fact!
Greetings,

Hi Robert,
I really like your POV and the composition, it really has this fibe of the Buena Vista Social Club. I can imagine sitting there, relaxed with a big sigar and a Mjito and have no worries at all. Great light and a beautiful b/g.

Hi Rob,

From Cuba to the Amazon! Well that's the impression I get :)
Lovely vivid colours & lighting. The two gentlemen add scale & depth to the photo.

Well done

Salut Robert,

J'aime bien cette composition avec l'ambiance qu'elle dégage, ca viens nous faire vibrer et j'imagine bien la musique cubaine l'accompagnant.

Pour la bande dessinée que tu m'as parlé j'en avait jamais entendu parlé, je vais surement regarder à la bibliothèque voir si je ne la trouverais pas.

Amitiés.

Luc

The surroundings make someone think that he is in the middle of a jungle. Well seen and captured. The well balanced lighting and the lovely hues of green make your shot a pleasure to view!

Love the natural light falling on the greens. That blue column is a good colour breaker. Clear and crisp..( can even see the smoke from the cigarette). This is so well seen and captured.

I don't like palm trees in my country, and now I know why.When they look like on yours photo, it is a much diffrerent plant than that tall high "things" with a few leaves on the top.
