[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Walking on water? well, not really.
This is a very flat part of the beach. Picture was timely taken just after the wave sweeps the beach, at this short period of time, a thin layer of water still covers surface of the sand. This thin water layer creates good reflections of everyting above it, just like regular water surface.

This is another shot at Kuta Beach.

Hi Benyamin,
Good composition. Like the colors and the reflections. Timming well chosen. Now, I wonder what those people were making on the sea shore, instead of catching some sun or have a swim in the sea?
Take care
Fred

Hi Benyamin,
Who ever does not like walks after so beautiful places as this. Who ever does not like to step after the wet sand of beaches so unusual as this. And who ever at last did not want that to visit so most beautiful recesses as this shown by You on this splendid removal {photo}. Beautiful colours, useful contrasts and the very good quality of the picture.
Best regards,
Jurek

Hello Benyamin,
Lovely beach. Good saturated colours. Very nice reflections but to me it looks a little bit dull, I mean not that sharp ones one would like to see.
Best regards
Sayan

Hi Benyamin,

Nice reflection captured. Looks like a beautiful beach. The sky is a bit to bright I think. A bit unnatural. But maybe it is Indonesian sky. TFS, Gilbert

Hi Ben,
Great exposure and colors. Beautiful Kuta Beach. I should plan a trip to Bali based on your photos. Best wishes. Danilo

Hi Ben,
A most attractive sky and also colours with great clarity!
The wet sand looks awesome and can easily be mistaken for water...
Well framed beach activity, colourful scenery!

Hi Benyamin!
A perfect title for this shot.It really seem that the people are walking on the surface.
Nice reflections and bright colors and a beautiful sky.
Regards,Leo

look there goes Jesus!! oh nope... sorry just an illusion... love the concept, the wawy you have captured the reflection is very creative. My only concern is the saturation, the colors doesn't look natural... they a little bit on the glowing side. Other than that, great capture, Ben

Cheers,
Enrique

Hi Benyamin,
great saturated colours and a fantastic sky.
Good work,
regards, Gerrit

Well seen Benyamin with all these reflections of the people and the sky.
All the best
Henk

Very nice shot with good colours and reflections. The sky and clouds are very nice as well.
Antonio

It looks like people walking on the ice thin surface, I wonder, do you have another picture that showed the wave hitting the shore? and in the same time leaving the water behind to create such a mirroring view? With a vast landscape you have here, I think it would be interesting,

Hizbullah

Nice sea beach shot with good capture of reflections of the people around there. Very colourful shot. Did you enhance the colour saturation? TFS.
Best wishes,

Look at the massive Kartika mall in the background. It's like a huge white elephant planted it's self on the beach.
Very nice shot with great contrasts.
