Photographer’s Note
I was gone for 5 days. I went driving to Shasta Lake in Northern, California. Now I am back to do my critique work and will be posting pictures I took in Shasta Lake n a couple of days.
For today's picture, I will take you back to Boracay Beach. This is another view as the sun starts to set on the horizon. The action suddenly slows down as people with their cameras took their places on the beach and wait to photograph the sunset. At that same time, crews from the hotel where I am staying, starts to set the tables, place white table and chair covers, the chairs are finished off with colorful cloth backrest covers. The silvers, glasses and napkins are placed on the table. The capiz shell covered lamps, supported by bamboo poles are inserted into the sand for night lighting together with some torch lighting. The volleyball nets will soon be removed and the whole beach scene will change. When the last glow of the sun is gone, the lights on the dining table area will be lighted up and dinner is ready to be served in a beautiful open air atmosphere with the sky as your ceiling. For more of my Boracay picture click on photo126530 and photo138397
PP Work: Adjusted levels control; Increase saturation by +10; Sharpened using USM; Removed noise; Cropped and framed.

Nice beach view Andre with soft colors and light, I like the details you have included in the foreground. The background with mountains and threatening sky is also nice, well seen.

The colors are remarkable here, in between sun and stormy rainy weather, very nicely captured sunset Andre, I like this one very much too for the contrast of the light in front to the darker background depickting a good daly life on the beach.
