[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This shot was taken at the beach front of the famous Hilton Hotel in Hua Hin. While strolling barefooted, i spotted these couple enjoying their pristine moment together in a spectacular sunset and cool sea breeze. The scene was absolutely romantic. I took a couple of shots of these and rested in this spot for at least half an hour.

Hua Hin Thailand is located 180 kms south of Bangkok. It is a relaxing coastal town that has beaches that stretch along the coast. Hua Hin also has a great deal of history and is known as the Royal Resort of Thailand. Hua Hin is very popular with those living in Bangkok for weekend getaways as Hua Hin offers cool sea breezes, beaches, golf courses and other sports. A wide range of accommodation from cheap guesthouses and budget to luxury.

Hi Miguel,
Good framing of the beautiful sunrise and very pretty colours too..!
very nice composition..!
Well done,
Patrick

Really wonderful colors, however, I think that the couple is too small, some more zooming in would have been better. Also, the rule of thirds should apply, see ws.

Hi Miguel,

Very nice light! Have to say that it has more of a sunset feel to it than a sunrise feel :-). The colours are really wonderful and the division with the clouds works well for me!
There is a very very very slight tilt to the right, but only a quarter of a degree. ;-) Nice one!!

Greetings, Dennis

Very impressive sunrise, the colors are just fabulous.
I did not spot the couple until I read about them ;-)
do you have other shots of this scene where their silouettes are in line with the sun's reflection on the sea?

Hey Miguel,
A marvelous sunset shot with excellent colors. I love the sky and the formations of the clouds. Definitely a well composed shot to be proud of. Congratulations!!! TFS

Hello Miguel,
Beautiful sunrise (sunset in your note),not that it matters, very well composed & captured with fantastic colour. The dramatic sky & water reflections look very nice.
Thanks

Hi Miguel,
Nice sunset colors here. The curvature of the shorline and the small rise to the right helps to create interest and also contributes of depth of field. Nice work and TFS. Gerald

Hello Miguel. Excellent saturation in the image with the sunset is so vibrant with the cloud. The reflection is brilliant and the curve shore is very well captured. Regards. Jusni

this magnificent light make the surround looks like fairy tell story..this romantic point of view is one touch of happiness always my friend..my compliments!!!!

this is just plain magnificent... great capture of the sunset

hi Miguel

Sunrise means early wake up and hunting for subject, in your case, at the beach. Good capture of the sky colors and composition, using curves of the water edge nicely.

Oh my, Miguel,

Hi Miguel, the great light makes this one stand out. I also like the layer of low clouds that almost seems like a breaking wave in the distance. A beautiful photo, well done.

Ryno
