i wanna swim too Photo

Photographer’s Note

Allez un peu se soleil en cette journée bien tristoune sur Paris, un beau cocotier qui semble n'avoir qu'une envie, la même que les plagistes : aller se baigner :)
Bon week end à tous

(100 pompes pour moi pour l'originalité ;) )
___________________________________________________________

Ok let's go for a summer shot, a shiny one on this such awfull weather we have here in Paris this afternoon.
I love the coconut tree that want same thing as tourists : go to swim in warm sea :)
Wish you a good week end

Hi Sebastien
very good shot, I like your point of view with this palm. Your colors are always great...

Salut Seb

C'est un arbre pour danser le limbo ou quoi ?
Sympa l'angle de vue, qui illustre bien la note.
De sublimes couleurs, une luminosité qui fait rêver, c'est finalement très énervant !

Bon week end,
Karine

Hi there,
What an amazing shot - so simple, but so effective.
I love the bright colours, the contrast of the sky and the sea and the way that the tree's trunk leads you into the image.
Very, very nice. Magnifique!

That seems like going on and on into the sea! I love the composition and the way you have planned and crafted it. Lovely balanced composition with crisp mood and colours.

Hi Sebastein

Really nice pov. The palm tree really draws us into the image. Great colors and spot on with the exposure. Really well done.

Tous les ingrédients de la photo cliché des plages paradisiaques...mais toi tu fiches le bazar là dedans en mettant cet arbre horizontal....rien à faire, on ne se refait pas....et c'est bien pour ça que l'on guette toujours tes images. Somptueuse image!
Amicalement

De retour aux Sechelles... Nous montrer une image comme ça le vendredi c'est vache...
Belle utilisation du grand-angle
Bonne journée

The place is great, of course, and the picture with the palm is a nice interpretation of the tropical sea dream.
Cheers Stefano

WOW . Superb composition. The branch spoils the perfect postcard picture. Try to clone it out.

bonjour sebastien
tu aurais pu enlever le bout de bois qui fait désordre lol,

bon w.e

Salut Sébastien,
Une vraie carte postale presque caricaturale de ce que l'on attend de ces iles. Dommage que le bleu du ciel est si clair, il aurait pu accentuer le contraste avec l'eau turquoise.
Amicalement
Marc

Hello Sebastien,
I'm looking at your pic dreaming to plan the great escape from Manchester!!
Beautiful shot with the coconut tree leading the eye to dive in that wonderful water! You've delivered excellent quality with great details throughout!
Thanks for sharing and have a great week end
Regards

Igor

Salut Sébastien,

Excellente photo malgré un horizon au centre. C'est rare! Cela me réchauffe un peu des frimas de février!

Bonne journée

avene (10886) 2008-02-01 10:03

hi Sebastien,
it's raining cats and dogs in NYC today, and on top of that it's cold and very, very windy, my big umbrella got broken - the wind simply tied it in a knot... so I'm not going to elaborate what I think about people teasing poor souls like me with photos like this :)))
love the colours here, particularly the emerald blue of the sea, and the perspective, it's so simple, yet so eloquent - who can resist the call of that magic clear water. superb shot in all respects.
best,
Kristine

Cormac (26449) 2008-02-01 10:45

This place is like a paradise on earth! I only wish it was closer to where I live, because then I could visit it. Great idea to photograph looking straight down the tree trunk, which leads us right into the scene and over the beach. Great sky too. Well done!

Yffic (6106) 2008-02-01 11:03

Salut Seb,

C'est clair que pour l'originalité on peut faire mieux.. mais le resultat est superbe....
J'ai lu ta réponse à PixelTerror, et je vois que l'on a à peu près la meme reflexion... moi j'ai décalé l'achat de ce 5D qui me tentes pour passer très prochainement sous Mac car mon vieux PC a déjà du mal à traiter les images de mon 20D....

Amicalement.

Yves

xavshot (61915) 2008-02-01 12:02

Bonsoir Sebastien
et bien j'aime bien cette photo avec le cadrage qui donne beaucoup de profondeur. Le ciel est également superbe. Une belle photo qui mérite amplement un score pair donc..... je mets un smiley tout vert ;o))
Bon week-end
Xavier

faubry (32197) 2008-02-02 0:30

c est toi qui l a fait tomber?? encore une tres bonne composition, tres chouette diagonale, la petite branche lui sert de tuteur???
bon we
amities
francine

PixelTerror (86032) 2008-02-02 1:10

Salut 100PompesTerror,
He he tu as encore trouve la un angle qui decoiffe et qui est bien amplifie par notre caillou prefere... Luminosite et surtout la couleur paradisiaque de l'eau au dela sont superbes. Alors ce 5D, tu craques ? Tu sais qu'il faudra aussi lui rajouter un 16-35 f/2.8 pour continuer a prendre ce genre de photo...
Bon ouiiiik JY

tehanu_f (6874) 2008-02-02 8:00

You never ever listen to me, do you, Seb? The honeymoon is over, come back to us, forget it, it never existed, there is no such place as Seychelles, this photo sucks, islands are dangerous (remember Lost?), the colours are dull, the sky is boring, cities are nice, I love winter, these waters are swarming with sharks and the sand sticks on your shorts forever. :)))))))

pasternak (13028) 2008-02-02 8:25

Excellent PoV, Sebastien, bringing in frame strong an unusual perspective of the tree longing for a swim, the cloud lines in the sky work well to underline the sense of direction.

Cheers
Alexander

vinicio (22260) 2008-02-02 13:07

Hard to find right words in order to explain my want to be there Sebastien, you show us a true paradise of pleasure and peaceful relax, thanks a lot, in these times this is one helpful image.
Well done, compliments, excellent POV and composition.
Ciao
Vinicio

Hi Sebastien,
Wow amazing tropical shot! Great POV, beautiful light and colours! I love it!
Thanks for sharing!

Hello Sebastien,
An amazing photo that the thumbnails don't do justice to. This is very powerful and dynamic composition (especially with all of the concentric rings around the fallen palm tree). The sharpness is outstanding! I like the way that ultra wide angle lenses distort the perspective of the clouds to our advantage. Great work!
Stan

Estelle (2317) 2008-02-10 10:57

Bonjour Sébastien,
La photo est très chouette et le titre est original.
Mais faut dire que t'es aidé, j'ai pas une mer turquoise comme ça en Angleterre!
Estelle

veronika (6022) 2008-02-10 12:20

Hi Sebi,
what a crazy coconut tree :))
I like it, especially the clear fresh colours, i can easily imagine this shot in some summer vacation cataloque ;)
Nice week!
Vero

Salut Sebastien,
Une belle photo que je n'avais pas commentée ... mais comme c'est la xème fois que je la vois sur la page d'acceuil de TE je me dis que c'est un signe ....
Les photos de ces ambinaces paradisiaque sont souvent un brin classique. Ici le point de vue façon petit insect sur un gros tronc est tout sauf classique.
Très sympa.
Bonne journée.
Igor

MLINES (10842) 2008-03-18 16:25

Hi Sebastien, I like the POV of this composition. It demands to be balanced upon. Good lighting and clarity. TFS. Murray.

pierrefonds (25949) 2008-03-22 4:31

Bonjour Sébastien,

Un endroit de rêve, cette plage de sable fin où le palmier veut rejoindre l'océan. Un endroit qui donne le goût d'y aller en comparaison à l'hiver qui tarde à finir dans ma région. La luminosité fait ressortir les couleurs. Bonne journée.

Pierre

Asiulus (1064) 2008-03-28 4:12

This shot would make such a nice advertisement of this place, just give me the name of the travel agency that used it ;-)
Very good POV, indicating the lenght of the tree trunk. The leaves and the clouds make us feel this warm, but fresh breeze...
Did you consider removing this rod from the frame? Without it the view would be even better (if possible ;-))
Well done,
best regards
Joanna

vbourrut (30539) 2008-06-08 2:29

Very creative point of view ! perfect colors too ! good image, makes me want to be there !

anilyn (87) 2008-08-01 3:42

Hello Sébastien,

Une vue paradisiaque, de superbes couleurs, une magnifique lumière... Ca donne envie ;) Le point de vue est original !
Dommage que l'ombre de l'arbre soit un tout petit peu coupée en bas, mais c'est pour pinailler ;)

orica77 (149) 2008-09-16 23:20

Great shot!
Great Colors!
Makes me wanna go swimming...

dukalucka (10) 2008-12-24 0:20

it's lovely, everything feels right, it deserves to be on a quality post card

tober (3898) 2008-12-24 1:11

Hello Sebastien, that's a fantastic shot which makes me feel the tropical atmosphere of Seychelles. Turquoise colour of the Indian Ocean and the contrast of the palm tree against the sky is just wonderful. Congratulations, Tolga

vmukherjee (395) 2009-01-21 4:12

Amazing shot! The way you have composed the picture with the tree and the clouds all pointing towards the centre of the picture looks wonderful. Also attractive rich colours. Thanks for sharing.

coco (27598) 2009-01-21 5:25

Hi Sebastien.

Wonderful work with the composition and, of course, you chose very well the lens. That wide lens let you great landscapes like this one.

The light is good too.

Regards.
