A scene from Waikiki Beach, taken from the breakwater. The mini tsunami is threatening to overtop the defensive wall of the childrens sandcastle. I used to do this as a kid, too.

"If not the most famous beach in the world, Waikiki Beach is by far the most famous in Hawaii. It forms the foreground of most postcard pictures of Diamond Head. It is the first beach that comes to mind when most people think of Hawaii. Consequently, it is also, by far, the most crowded. It's a good place to learn to surf if you can manage not to hit or be hit by other beginners in the throng."

Great colorful shot of this iconic place Chris. It doesn't look as though it has changed that much since I was there 20-some years ago! I like the nice low light. Great shot.

I love this shot Chris! Everyday life, wonderful beach scene, a scene I see all the time. Even today, my kids, as old as they are, make sand castles when we go to the beach! Nice stop action on the wave!

Hi Chris, Good beach scene, we did the same in NZ but our building sand was black rather than creamy yellow! Looks like a very fine place to spend some time. Good ambiance flows from this image. TFS. Murray
PS Safe journey.

hello Chris,

nice shot of beach scene.. so many peoples around if me i prefer secluded one where i get more privacy.. :) nice one.. typical in a place like this.. beautiful work.. tfs..

regards, terry

You aimed and shot at the perfect moment Chris, judging by the size of the oncoming wave i am afraid it's reconstruction time for these kids once more, ha ha ! Nice and clear.I like it !
Btw Chris , i read somewhere in a discussion or perhaps it is in the forum i am not sure where you made a mention about you still using film , if it is so this means your photos must be processed in a scanner , well have to be or there's something i've missed along the way , anyhow how do you achieve such good results, if i may ask. Your images are tastefully well presented in great colors and the sharpness is first class ! This one is of excellent quality , any information i should know about scanning my own like yours ?
Thanks Chris,
my besrt regards,
Carol

Lovely composition with nice triangle ie base = right hand side and apex on left. Great clarity through. I think the pink airbed and rubbe ring around the little girl add another dimension to this shot. Very nice work TFS
wam regards
David
