[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Because I don't want to miss the Friday theme and because in on this evening the sky and its reflection was fantastic, I wanted to be in the picture, too. Yes, It's me and my reflection one and the half years ago.
Because I took this picture with tripod, I cut my head off (in reflection) and before I could prepared another shot, the sky had changed.

You can see here a picture taken a few minutes before.

In my WS, white frame.

PS - Generaly I don't like to post photo of myself, but this photo suited Fridays theme.

Hi Liliana,
Superb self-portrait of this beautiful lady and good entry for the theme! The reflection without your head is not a problem, here!
I like the saturated colors here, it gives warm mood at the scene! But I like much also the one in workshop! It seems that you are more relax in a white frame. :)
Congratulations! Annie

Hey Lili
Very nice self/beach/sunset/ well you get the idea...
That beach is amazing.. I check the link and OH WOW! black sand? Its hard enough to get a self portrait never mind a one with a complete reflection... wonderful job and idea for the theme

Hi Liliana,

Well hello...Quite funny to see you in a picture but a great one for the theme. Indeed a very nice sky and perfect reflection (apart from your head but you'v mentioned that yourself).

Best regards,

Both of these pictures are very nice, but I especially like this one of yourself looking so peaceful and relaxed, and the reflection is FANTASTIC!!!(even without your head:) Beautiful colors!! TFS

Bonsoir Liliana
Très joli travail, je suis ravi de vous découvrir et j'aime beaucoup les reflets du ciel sur le sable.
Antoine.

Beautiful!

Ok, my apologies, I'm not one of those people who pretends everything is perfect when it isn't - I agree, it's a shame about the cropped head, although it's not really a big deal. The colours, the light, and the reflections you've captured are all very good.

I do think it's a little oversharpened, there's some visible ghosting alongside you.

Nice work overall

You look fine in this self-portrait Lili ,you have created an interesting perspective by positioning yourself in the second third of your frame (sense of distance is obvious in the foreground )The top part given over to the fluffy clouds, a cheerful background against which you stand in quite a natural pose i would say relaxed, hands in pockets i like that ! You may have overdone slightly the sharpening though but the colors are fantastic with the filter,

Carol

Hi Liliana. this is a nice composition with interesting lighting and tones. I like it.

A nice photo.I love the sky and blue filled BG.
Your pose is also looks natural..
The full shadow would have been much more fantastic.

Hello Liliana

ciao Marco

Lili, intr-adevar cerul este superb, iar reflexia lui pe nisipul ud este incredibil de frumoasa, pare sidefata. Iar faptul ca esti si tu in cadru, face ca poza sa aiba o atmosfera si mai romantica. Imi place si varianta in rama alba, schimba destul de mult poza.

Weekend frumos iti doresc,
Sorina

Hi Liliana,
Very well taken picture and beautiful reflections on
water near the beach, the sky is wanderful and the model too :) Excellent composition and great colors. very well done Liliana.
Michel ;)

Hello Lili,

This is a great self portait, even without the head in the reflection!
If you were painting a picture, you would never think of putting those colours on the sand, yet there they are, and how magical they look!
Superb shot, great composition and excellent colours!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

I am very impressed with this lovley self portrait, Liliana. I too, really like the white frame, it changes the mood. It is fun to have options to see. I think you have captured a beautiful colour saturation with exquisite, detail. Oh to have sun , sand and water. We are very tired of snow here.

Hello Liliana, very good shot for the theme and great autoportrait, I really like the composition and the colors are fantastic! You placed the camera at the perfect place, really well done. And great model too! ;-) Thanks,

Excellent... par sa simplicitée...

Very good entry for the theme.
Good capture. Too bad you cut your head off in the reflection.
beautiful view used as a BG.
And a very beautiful subject :-).

Sometimes we cannot get the entire reflection Lili and I think in this case the foreground detail covers it anyway. Well saturated, lovely reflections in the wet sand and nicely presented. TFS,

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Reflections/reflecting’

Ciao Lili,
frumoasa contributie la tema de vineri. Ai avut o idee faina...pacat ca nu a iesit toata reflectia(lipseste putin din cap), dar nu ai avut cum sa vezi cand ai reglat aparatul. Culori si detali frumoase...Bravo!

Numai bine,
Chris

Buna Lili,
frumoasa postare pentru tema lui Helen :)
Tare fain loc. Culorile sunt superbe,
si subiectul e tare dragut :)
Un WE minunat iti doresc.

Cio Lili, peccato che hai decapitato il tuo riflesso, sarebbe stata favolosa, non è certo facile fare un autoritratto, farlo poi con un riflesso così bello è ancora più difficile, anche così è una magnifica foto, bravissima Lili, ti auguro una buona domenica, ciao Silvio

Hello Liliana

Hello nice to meet you :-)

What an inventive idea for the theme, well composed and the colours are superb. Excellent shot here my friend first class work

Buna Lili,
Interesant efectul luminii,in primul rind si apoi al reflexiei.
Observ cite ceva dodging si burning pe ici pe colo dar in final rezultatul este surprinzator.
Bravo!

Hello Liliana
You are very photogenic! The colours here are very rich and the composition is great. I love the sky is the background with the peacy coloured clouds. It all comes together so well.

hello Lili,

lovely shot of yourself strolling down the beach.. very relax atmosphere and nice to meet you :) beautiful self potrait with wonderful surrounding and perfect clear reflection suit well with the theme..

regards, terry

Hello Liliana.
Gorgeous painting it looks. Fantastic colours.!
You looks very relaxed in this pose.
Now the head is off in the reflection, I think a cropp with only the leggs in, will do aswell.
I will give it a try.
Best regards from Jan

Hi Liliana; I love the colour and light in this one.. a very interesting mood has been created fro that.the red and blue colour scheme works well here IMHO .... and we get to see another interesting self portrait.... :))))) Very well done .....Roman:0)

Hi Lili,

You have managed a very relexed pose - of course being on Gran Canaria helped a lot.
A beautiful self portrait, and the reflection of the head is not that important here. The filter really makes the colours deep and attractive.

Hello Liliana
What a great shot. As you said, the sky is fantastic.I love the blue and pinkish colors in it. The reflexion is very interesting and the subject very pretty. You were lucky to have kept the sand wet long enough to make that photo.
Nicely done

Bonjour Liliana!

i thought you escaped for vacation recently , but you took this ''oldie'' from your archives .

Pretty cool auto-portrait ( and of course lady , without wanting to play Casanova ). You did very well in bringing your tripod for this unique occasion. The sunset light is indeed a great ingredient in superb portraits.

Well done !
Robert.

Hi Lili,

a good result, even without head in reflection ;)
Nice colors, a very beautiful atmosphere.

Compliments!

Superbe culori si reflexii. Imi plac la nebunie culorile marii si cerului...

Hello Liliana,
This is a very nice photo. The colors, clarity and image quality overall make for a very pleasing presentation; warm yet very sharp and intense.
The reflection in the wet sand really creates it's own story and living frame.
Great effect and effective overall pov.
Nice self portrait as well.
Very well done,
Thanks for sharing,

Intr-adevar este ceva deosebit. Reflexiile sunt extraordinare, parca plaja ar fi de sidef. Si ai reusit sa retii aceasta nemaipomenit. Nuantele se combina ceva fantastic. La fel, bravo. Nu as putea decit sa ma repet si sa reiau aprecierile existente. Salutari Csabi

ciao Lili,

I like the nonchalant pose along with the contrast of your colorful t-shirt, the reflection, etc. Nice shot.
