Wow - beautiful spot! Your photo does a great job of capturing the natural beauty here, with the palm trees hanging over the scene and that gorgeous water. Great job!

This looks like one of those travel agent posters, Colin. Great composition and can't be faulted technically. Cheers . . . David

Nice POV for the palm trees, and very fresh natural colours you present here.
Thanks,
Magnus

Colin
this is (again) an excellent picture, very well composed and colored.

well done

loic

Colin, until seeing your photos of this place a year ago, I had never heard of it. Now it's on my list of places I'd love to visit, and all because of your lovely photos. This one is no exception, the palm trees curving over the rocky beach are very nice in balancing and adding uniqueness to the view. The huge rocks are facinating, making this place unusual also. I love the blue sky with just the right touch of puffy white clouds, well done, and not overexposed. I also love the blue-green water, excellent work. My vision of paradise.

Hi Colin. I like the upward pull by the palm trees. In other words my eyes are pulled upward which is very unusual. I love the portrait framing as well. Nice shot Colin!!

Very nice composition Colin! Unusual to see such a monolith with the palms and sand. Great use of shapes and colors. TFS, Don

Hey Colin, what a nice scene, the beach looks so enticing with those bright white sands! Its also strange how that palm tree grows at such a strange angle cutting into the shot like that!

Great paradise shot, well taken!
