[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A break to my recent green series, it's blue time!

A break in a holiday: the shot was taken in a Maldivian resort, where 2 men are relaxing in a swimming pool, just beside the sea.

Well, personally, after travelling 10 hours and being in a so extraordinary tropical lagoon, I would never choos to spend my time in a swimming pool, even if it's near a beach bar.

Anyway, degustibus non disputandum est ;)

Ciao Giorgio,
l'ho appena vista adesso nella gallery di TE, ed è stata una calamita per i miei occhi ancor prima di accorgermi che era tua. Un lavoro da mostra fotografica, semplicemente stupendo. E tu volevi privarci di simili capolavori? Non sia mai!!!
Complimentissimi!
Ciao
Paolo.

Amazing how the pool, ocean, sky are united in color. Would be really something if they all had exactly the same hue. Well-seen Giorgio. Maybe could decenter the men a bit more. Regards,
Hakan

Ciao Gio,
Looking at the photo at first I could not see the pool all the nice blues blend in well together. Amazing what people will do,

Ciao Giorgio,

Apprezzo particolarmente il bello modo in cui hai captato le varie sfumature de blu (mare e cielo).
Amicalmente,
Roger

ciao Giorgio,
STUPENDA! non si vede il confine tra il mare e la piscina. Tutto è imprigionato da questa stupenda nuvola blu (anche se nuvole non ce ne sono) dalle mille sfumature.
Bravissimo

Tutte le tonalità di blu nella tua foto, bella, bravo Giorgio, ciao Silvio

ciao giorgio

do i see it correct? the swimming pool is actually INSIDE the sea?? hmm... interesting... but i like this blue-cast observation. the two underexposed men bring the needed contrast to the scene.

warm regards,
kristaps

Giorgio, le bleu de la piscine semble faire partie de la mer et donne un aspect étrange au cliché. L'image est très belle.
