White Beach Boracay II, a photo from Aklan, Western Visayas

Photographer's Note

Even after 5 days, I still wasn't sick of the glorious white sand beach, on the west coast of Boracay Island, & it's not hard to see why. The final day it finally clouded over just as I was leaving. I've already burned in the strong highlights on the sand. I liked the symmetry of the 2 yellow umbrellas & 2 empty deckchairs here.

Hi Chris,

The presence of the people has an effect of scale. The palm trees are framing well the beach. It is well divided, the sky, the sea and the beach. The point of view is taking my eyes toward the horizon which is giving depth to the composition. The quality bof the light is enhancing the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Chris,
The deck chairs and parasols awaiting the arrival of the sunbathers create a pleasant mood and are nicely framed by the palm trees. Good tropical colours and excellent sharpness.

Chris,
I could put one of those empty beach chairs to good use right now! This is a great beach shot taken from a great POV. The palm trees frame the shot beautifully. The foreground is a little overexposed but it is still a very appealing photo.
TFS,
Asa

Hello, Chris,
fine picture!This photo reminds me old old song of The Scorpions: Holiday

Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
Exchange the cold days for the sun
A good time and fun
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
Exchange your troubles for some love
Wherever you are
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday

Longing for the sun you will come
To the island without me
Longing for the sun be welcome
On the island many miles away from home
Be welcome on the island without me
Longing for the sun you will come
To the island many miles away from home
