[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
When on holiday in the Western Cape one has to capture that famous Table Mountain as best as one could.
So up we went to the city called Blaubergstrand. Here many photographers have made stunning views of the Table....
It was early morning (long shadows) and the mountain was covered in thick clouds - they call it the table has been covered by a table-cloth, I suppose that has a charm of its own. However we did not much like the city - all highrises and very modern, so we moved to Milnerton - there we had a better look at the Table, because the cloth was lifting (het tafelkleed werd opgetild).-maybe I upload that one another day-
Still hope you enjoy standing here with us enjoying this moment in time.
Have a nice weekend,
Els

There is a very beautiful light, and the POV is very good. I don't know if I like your shadows or not. I am not sure. On one hand it is original and not disturbing, but if I try to imagine the picture without them, I also like because of the rope or whatever on the beach. I am not sure. Half a smile for this...

Hi Els,
Very dramatic ocean landscape with the sandy beach with is many footprins making a georgeous contrast to the turquoise sea with is crashing surf. The soft blue sky with its beautiful clouds makes it worth the effort to find the famous table in the mist. The people on the beach along with the shadows are very nice elements to this fine photo.
Regards, Tom

Hello Els,
I like the lines in the surf and wonderful bright colours!
Attractive minimalism in the composition, but this time I find an element attracting attention without a reason: That brownish thing...
An impressive view indeed!

De ultiem strandfoto Els,heel mooi licht.

Hi,
I think you maybe have two pictures here, if you would split the frame through the middle. The top half is a supreb view by itself. Together though, you have conflicting perspectives and the seaweed stalk is a wee bit distracting. At the same time I can understand your intentions. Thanks.
Dougie.

Truly sharp and pleasant shot to look at, very simple but I almost feel that I`M there with the photographer, well done again and thanks for sharing, regards, Salas

Hi Els
Lovely view of this nice beach. Perfect colours and sharpness. Very well managed the light and framed the picture

Hello Els,

Nice image :) An original composition that works very well. It was a good idea to include the sahdows in the frame. The color of sea and clouds is great.

Best regards, Laurent.

Hi Els,
Okay now that you have my curiosity up, I'm waiting to see the table once you took the cloth off:o)
I do like this photo though , a very pretty beach and your shadows do for sure show the sun low in the horizon!

Hola Els,
Me encanta la gran perspectiva que has tomado de esta enorme playa. Esas sombras cercanas le dan también gran profundidad. Excelente luz y colores.
Cordialmente
Charo

Very interesting shot. Nice work!

hello

the picture is nice, its well composed, colours are good, the shades fit well and you created good depth ... but why didnt you put the branch away ? unfortunately the quality of the pic deteriorates in my opinion !

greetings

daniel

Jolie composition, avec de belles couleurs douces, et une jolie idée, de mettre ces ombres au premier plan.
