[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken late afternoon, on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. It's still warm enough to go swimming, but most people have gone to prepare meals, or get ready to go out to a restaurant.

"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."

Hello Chris,

This is one of the best times to go when the crowds have dispersed.
You really show this off as a place to visit.
The pov is good, where the gentle curve of the beach encourages a leisurely perusal of the scene. The textured sand, the groups of people, the characteristic trees and the bright colours, all well detailed, offer much to engage the viewer.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

must be really delightful to be on that beach.. beautiful capture and ambiance.. colors and that big condensed cloud in the BG added a lot of mood to the shot.. I love the textures on the sand.. many feet certainly!
real, natural and excellent composition...
tfs and my compliments Chris

This has the feeling of a postcard Chris, the idyllic tropical beach with "wish you were here" scrawled on the back!

Nice lazy sweep of the shore, dividing the shot into gold and blue, with enough negative empty space at diagonal opposites to relax the eye .
