Good Morning Everyone,

This shot was taken in Cannes during our recent holiday. We had met my son and his partner and had spent a wonderful day sampling the sceneic delights of the area.

As we were returning to the car, in the evening light, we stopped to gaze over the bay towards the setting sun. Someone was already there, facing the sea and possibly dreaming! Now, what would you dream about in Cannes ... staying forever, becoming a film star, wishing for a sweetheart, or just savouring that magical, irresistable moment!

Many thanks for stopping by.
Please feel free to offer feedback on any aspect of the photograph. :-)

Hi Beverly,
Fantastic beach scene from Cannes. Your image suggest calmness and peace, really 'moody' composition. I like its soft colours, light tones and the exposition of clouds. Elegant framing, fits to the mood of the photo. Nice shot, well done! TFS.
All the best,
Kristof

Hello Bev,
The low clouds are fantastic and drape the serene calm scene quite well. Sweet mellow colors from the setting sun. A mighty fine dinner and a good bottle of wine at this scene will make life complete. My compliments...Danilo

Good Morning Bev:)

An excelent image of this seaside scenerey with very good sharpness and fine color rendering. There is also a nice small reflections on the water surface. I liked so much.
TFS and have a nice weekend!
Cheers,

Bayram

Hi Beverley!
Nice landscapae. Amazing bright and light. Good colors.
Cheers!

Simple but elegant capture, with interesting intersecting lines. Above all:

- Thanks for not making a panorama out of it
- Extra Thanks for not making a hideous HDR out of it
- Thanks for posting it ;)

Hi Bev,
Excellent low light impression, very well captured and presented. This picture shows a wonderful mood, one nit pick though, the horizon is tilled which is a bit distracting in my opinion. Anyway this photo has quite some potential! Great one for the FF theme!

It looks really nice, Bev !
I wish you a nice Weekend full of "good dreams" !
Kind regards from Recife-Brazil,

Lovely scene Bev, but the horizon is tilted to the left :( OUCH!
I'll try and ignore that - the lighting is great, and I love the clouds and how that beautiful sky colour is reflecting in the water.
Very pretty

Hello Beverly.
You sure had a wonderful time at the France riviera.
It has beautiful surroundings and nice, rather expensive villages.
But pity, most of the people speaking France, how come?

Hello Bev,
lovely dreamy mellow evening light here. Nicely composed too.The lonely figures perfects the mood.
Bev

ooo aahhhhh Nice work Bev! The only little thing is that the horizon isn't straight, but that is MINOR! Love the RICH color here, very moody and I just love the BIT of light reflection at the shoreline..just love the pink there!
