[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This shot was taken on the beach on the tiny island of Moyanne. This island is owned by a retired jounalist Brendon Grimshaw and is only opened and to visitors on certain days. The island on the right of the picture is Long Island where you do not want to visit as it is the prison island for the Seychelles.

Colin,
Si un jour je dois faire de la prison, entre la Sibérie et ton "goulag" des Seychelles, j'aurai vite choisi.
Merci pour le partage.
Amitiés.

Hi Colin, very nice place to be, good colours but low detail...

I like the irony.
Almost can't go wrong with such chrystal clear water and blue sky.
The color catches your eyes. However, I reckon it'll be more captivating to have a more visible subject.
Just my two cents.

Hi Colin,
Perfect sky and lovely colours of the water. Also like the vast DOF. Yet it lacks a 'focus' point...my eyes kept wandering over the whole frame to find one. And sharpness was not idea too. Nevertheless a nice attempt & thx for showing me this magical place.
Regards,

If it wasn't for you Colin I would never of heard of the Seychelles, now I enjoy every photo I see from there, what a beautiful place. Another favorite tropical beach photo for me to enjoy while amid the rains of the Pacific Northwest. I love the contrast of the deep blue sky and the green water, well done.

Hi Colin
here i like the equalt division of the picture, the low PoV and the different blue present.
One strong subject is missing...
bravo anyway
