[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Back to Dominican Republic, at the beach of Iberostar resort, Romana. Against the light, I benefitted from the cloudy passage over the sun to take this photo. I think that these lighting conditions created a good mood.

PP work:
- Just a slighty adjustment of luminosity and
contrast.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting! Have a great day!

Bonjour Annie,
Quel jolie photo! et un excellent point de vue de cette plage de la République Dominicaine, superbes couleurs naturelles et netteté, Les palmiers ces supers beaux! Salutations
Michel

Superbe capture. Tu as raison, la clarté donne un effet assez spécial à l'image. Ça donne un air de rafraichissement.
Pierre

Bonjour Annie. Très belle prise de vue cette plage. Belles couleurs et beaux détails. Belle composition avec la tour et les palmiers. Félicitations. Dany :-)

Beautiful compo,vertical framing and light. I like the wet beach, the sky and those silhouettes.

TFS,

Andreea

Bonjour Annie,
Une merveilleuse lumière, j'aime ces baigneurs de dos, comme affairés à des taches plus urgentes que de regarder le photographe...La ligne des palmiers crée un bel élan vers le haut, le ciel aux beaux nuages, il semble que le spectacle soit plus loin, plus haut...
Mary

Hey Annie...

This is a nice shot, good colours and contrasts,
well done

Hi Annie.

heelo Annie,
this is a very beautiful image.
Great details and good image quality.
Well done. Best regards,
Daniel :-)

Bonsoir Annie,
je trouve à ta photographie, un charme rétro, comme les anciennes cartes postales, pas de couleurs vives. C'est un arrêt sur image. Une scène de vacances immortalisée par un clic habile de ta part sur ton Canon.
Bravo, très agréable à contempler. TFS.
Amitiés, Corinne

Bonsoir Annie! Cette photo me laisse un peu perplexe.Je ne sais pas pourquoi.Peut-être est-ce son côté métallique.Pour moi,dans ma tête le métal est froid et lisse .Et cette photo qui devrait dégager de la chaleur me glace plutôt! Mais c'est très personnel! D'un autre côté,j'adore ta composition,très classique comme si chaque élément était à sa place.Le revêtement de la tour avec ses traits rayés noirs me rappelle les anciens costumes de main et me fait bien rire.Photo tout de même très intéressante! Merci pour le partage! Merci aussi pour toutes tes visites et critiques qui sont des plus appréciées! À bientôt!
Michel

great shot... nice work.. well done.. tfs

Wonderful scenery, Annie.
The lighting is special, indeed.
Well done !!!

Hello Annie.
Wonderful composition, great point of view. Very effective and interesting shot.
My compliments.
Janek J-23

Hi Annie
harika bir çalışma olmus gerçekten tebrikler.
Murat.

How bizarre... to think I walked on that same beach-strip... I still remember walking by that striped tower... it certainly IS a small world! :)

You're right, this image has some great lighting conditions... fast shutters mean better focus... I like the way the light reflects on the wet shore, the boys in the front add a fun touch to the shot... talk about vacationing! (Is vacationing a word?... hope so!) Palms, beach, waves and blue skies... what more could a person ask for... ah I know, a tropical drink! :) Great image, brings back some wonderful memories. TFS!

Biance.

Bonjour Annie. Very well composed and the harsher light has been well handled by your PP work. Good colour and excellent detail. TFS,
David

Muy lindo lugar este!.

Saludos!

Mauro

Hi Annie,
A nice summer scene...maybe I should go here:) The contrast here is high but very well done. Composition is balanced very nice and super. Good details to. If I'm allowed to have a nitpik it would be I wish the people was facing us instead of walking away..would have made it more inviting I think but...still nice shot Annie, very nice. Thanks.

Belle lumière pour cette prise, la légère des saturation des couleurs évoque certaines photos des années 70. Belle ambiance avec la présence de personnes.

Hello Annie,
That old lighthouse seems to have been converted to something totally different... Well, maybe it never was a lighthouse then!
But the structure works well as a compositional element!
Good backlight image, sharp and well composed!
Greetings,
Pablo -

HEllo Annie,

you think right...the mood in this picture is pretty cool and the view of the beach makes me want to dive right now...
thank God summer is on its way!

Well well; this is some shot; we are part of all these sun looking passengers. We join the picture; the illusion is perfect. We enjoy their view; in mirrors, light, but we will miss the icecream at service desk of this proud watch tower.
Thx
