A beautiful peaceful scene Salamao! and I agree .. walking on the beach is one of lifes great pleasures.
I love the low light and the light and shadows hitting the footprints in the sand. Also the waves rolling in at the top, and the soft sky.
Great shot!
Trudy:)

very good footprints on the sand, nice idea :-)

Hi Salomao,

Great shot I love the way the beach is where the focus is on but the footprints do bring our eyes to the water. The colours are great and the details sharp very nice composition well done.

Hi Salomao
This is a lovely shot - I like how the composition leads the eye to follow the line of footsteps away from the front of the shot even though they are walking towards you! Nice composition and pov
Makes me wanna go on holiday!

Hi Salomao,
You seem to have mastered this type of shot , low angle and lead-ins to great views, the traces take the eye all the way to the crashing waves , right moment light-wise , as you say in your note : a beautiful walk on the beach at this time of the day is very pleasurable and recommended to unwind , one i would do every night if a beach was nearby , i am afraid not ! TFS,
Carol

Excellent, my friend

The loww POV emhasizes the steps of the smooth sand and the side light creates superb shadows. I like that you gave all this space to the three lines that take the eyes to the wavy bg.

hi Salomao

This is surely a great scenery to take a walk by the beach with the soft tone of the sky but a bit of wind to create waves on the shoreline, perhaps even some fog as shown at the rocks near the right. You have done a good low angle shot to show the footprints on the sand leading to the water, presenting pleasant POV here. The strong color of sand is making it a good contrast to the soft sky and a nice strip of blue water. Even you have paid good attention to ensure the horizon is level. The sharpness shows nice texture of sand even for f/3.5 aperture. Good work.

tfs, bill

what a superbe, remarkable composition.. the footprints in the sand is such an appealing idea and a sight for me.. here it looks perfectly aligned, sharp and fading slowly towards the wave, this composition is like a symphony.. very dreamy, with good light, perspective and style! simplicity is beauty and here's the proof!
thank you so much for sharing this Salomao and have a wonderful day!

hello salomao

beautiful seascape
the colors are so deep for the sand and softy for the sky, it's a great effect
i like walking on the beach and that beach is so one

Gosto muito desta foto!
É possível imaginar uma história a partir dela! Existem três personagens que embora não estando visíveis… estão lá!
As ondas no horizonte estão muito bem definidas. A luz e a sombra estão muito bem exploradas (pela dimensão das sombras sou levado a pensar que ou era manhã cedo ou então ao entardecer)
Obrigado!
Saudações

Olá Salomão
Belíssima perspectiva e composição. Detalhe e luz soberbas e um muito original POV - como se se tratasse de alguém que saíu das águas e se perdeu fora delas.
Parabéns e um abraço, mb

Very nice work. Beautiful use of light and strong colours. The detail and texture of the sand on the beach is fantastic.

A graduated filter would have made this shot even more impressive, in my opinion, reducing the brightness of that sky.

Excelente perspectiva. Imagem misteriosa, nos faz pensar em muitas coisas: eu imagino que muita coisa boa é criada após um passeio desses.
Parabéns pela pequena galeria (em tamanho, por enquanto), mas de extrema beleza.
