Hi David,
I've seen similar composition from you recently, again you did a great job with this calm and relaxing scene. I wish I could do it this weekend, but unfortunately I can't. :( Anyway, nice brightness, good expression of the mood of sumer relaxation. Good use of the polarizer, really worked well. TFS!
Greetings,
Kristof

Lovely white sands like Fiji... My favourite island(s) in the Pacific.

And what fun for the children to swing off the palm like this. Sun, sand and relaxing - my kinda holiday David, beautifully captured.

hello David,

excellent capture and yes what light, what scenery and ambiance, you managed perfectly to present it in an extraordinary composition... someone told me once about the white sand in Zanzibar, tried to visualize it before and now it's clearly clear to me, thx to you:) like the game of light and shadow a lot here and almost a 3D look clouds in the deep blue sky.. and what a tree.. superb work..

TFS and have a nice WE

Hi David

Not bad at all! All we need now, is a cold drink, & we're in paradise! The slight oe in the sand doesn't bother me. Good colour, saturation & sharpness. The leaning coconut palm, provides superb lead in lines. Tfs, & have a great weekend!

Oh wow! Fantastic view, fantastic spot .. and best of all, it looks like you have it all to yourselves! So beautiful. Yeah, the sky color is great. But the water .. and the sand .. it must be one of the prettiest places on earth.
I need some of that right now. You won't believe it, but I awoke to SNOW yesterday!!! It came and went throughout the day, and didn't last of course, but still .. snow on May 8th???? C'mon!!!
Have a great weekend David

Now THIS is my kinda beach! :). Very relaxing shot David, reminds me so much of Fiji. Haven't been back for about 12-years. Such a tropical scene, you've captured it perfectly. Terrific thinking with the POV, can definitely see which way the wind blows, lol. The CPL did a great job too.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi David,
Great POV the tree is the perfect lead in. The shadow of the palm is such a nice detail here. The handling of light is well managed, dispite the harsh bright light no OE even not on the white sand. Crsip and clear colours really a view of paradise!

Hi David, A good feeling when looking at this image of an exotic place, rarely seen on these sites. The bright sun and warmth floods to the viewer. Good job. Murray.

Bonsoir David,

Nice place to be. Great sharpness and great exposure. Effectively the polarizer did a great job here. I am kind of amazed you got evenness of the polarization effect in the sky. Usually with ultra wide anglel lens I get part of the sky dark blue and part medium blue. This shot seems to be taken around noon time. May be that's because the sun is really overheand that the sky get an even effect of polarisation? I will have to check that at noon when Québec will be more direct with the sun next summer. Nice shot and TFS.
