Superbe endroit un superbe heure de la journée, très belle netteté, bravo Tim.
Merci.

Hello Tim!
Welcome on TL!
Very nice picture! Good colors, good sharpness, good POV, nice woman! I like particularly the warmth of the light at the end of that day.
Regards,
Daniel

Beautiful, peaceful, nice warm tones. Good shot!

there is an interesting framing dilemma here. do you pan right and concentrate on the shadow, but lose the clouds OR do you pan left, lose the shadow and some of the trees and concentrate on the water and clouds, leaving your partner in the bottom right corner? if it were me, i would have done the latter. lots of potential in this shot, which is why i like it!

What a lovely place! The lighting is gorgeous and the resulting gold and pink tones are so beautiful. Great shot looking down the coast with the green mountain at the end in the background off-center. I would have had her positioned a tiny bit more to the right but it's an excellent photo. TFS!

I love Elly's shadow! Very nice colours and light in this picturesque beach scene. Those brooding clouds in the background are fantastic!
Nice work

You will have noticed by now that all your pretty flower macros are not drawing the crowds whereas a pretty landscape and a pretty girl always will. I think you somehow managed to darken this a tad too much, but there is a nice atmosphere to it, and the place is absolutely gorgeous.

Lovely composition Tim, great colour with a moody sky.

What a nice and dramatic picture. I specially like the lighting condition and that opening in the sky. The composition and colours are fantastic.

Hi Tim,
Gorgeous colors presented on a beautiful palette. Good placement of the subject, nice detail in the shells in the foreground, and I like how your subject is in light, while the background part of the shore is in shadow. The window in the sky definitely adds to the mood of the shot.
All the best,
Karen

Great colours. Love the opening in the clouds, definately breaks the sky up. She got the shells and you got the pic.

This is a beautiful image, Tim. The quality of light is amazing. Your rendition has made Elly a part of the seascape ... emphasizing the fact that humankind is also a part of nature as long as they do not intrude.
Salil

Great quality of light Tim. Strong lines that pull the eye right into the frame. Looks like there is some approaching weather that adds some interesting drama.

I want to be there...right now.....
Thanks to share this paradise...

Atmosphere and light are super
