Photographer’s Note
From Varadereo you could start a beautiful tour to island of Cayo Blanco. The beach here is white, and so soft I had never feel before. You could do a nice snorkling in the crystal blue water.
On the way back the katamaran stops on sea and you could try a event by swimming with dolphins in pool.
In the WS a "white" painting

Hello Achim,
A very pleasing composition of this tropical paradise. I like the curving beach on the right and the little green boat coming in on the left. Lovely tropical tones.

Halo Achim,
das sieht ja schon so klar aus wie Schwimmbadwasser, glatter Wahnsinn. Die Bildaufteilung gefällt mir durch den langen Strandbogen und es wirkt auch so entspannend.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hallo Achim. Karibik pur. Ein schönes Photo. Hier kann man seinen Urlaub genießen und relaxen. Vor ein paar Jahren war ich in Varadero. Wer das Strandleben mag (und vioelleicht auch all inclusive) ist hier richtig. Viele Grüße, Wolfgang.

The turquoise sea, the white sand and the thatched roofs all contribute to an idyllic setting. The diagonal of the shoreline works well in the composition.

Hi Achim!
Very good shot for this time of the year. With all these blue tonalities, the composition is great. I like the boat on the left and the people in background.

Hi Achim,
Nice tropical image with good proportions, ideally I'd like something floating on the water in the foreground, say ideally a nice 25 y.o. woman, but without her I can concentrate on enjoying how clear the water is thanks to the white sand below that lightens it.
Have a nice day JY

Hello Achim,
It is obviously an atmosphere of holidays which emerges from this beautiful image all in light. I like the framing of these shelters which end until in water. A tempting work.
Have a nice day

Ciao Achim,
thanks to you for this suggestive image of this eden. The colors are really a colour therapy, with a stupendous transparent sea and that cumulonimbus on the sky that confers a lot of depth to the image. A really pleasant photo, compliments.
Ciao
Paolo.
PS: I am really honorable to be among your preferred photographers. I reciprocate with a lot of pleasure the preference. Thanks.

Hi Achim,
The curve line of the beach is an asset to the composition. The presence of peole has an effect of scale. The different tints of colors are enhanced by the good light. The point of view leads our eyes toward the horizon. A nice place to enjoy a vacation. Have a nice day.

Lovely clean environment, I like the green water and pure white beach, good pov to include a ship, not so many people on the beautiful beach may be really too hot the weather at outside, thanks for sharing a nice place.

Hey Achim,
That`s an amazing beach. Too bad I don`t like the sun too much. But still, amazing scenery. A bit touristy, but the nature sure did provide here. A wonderful composition and colors, perfectly clear and sharpened. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards.

Hallo Achim,
ein wunderschönes klares Wasser hat es hier und die Gebäude sehen auch sehr einladend aus. Gutes Photo, aber ich glaub unter Cienfuegos, das an der Südküste liegt, ist es falsch eingeordnet. Ich glaube die Provinz ist Matanzas.

Hello Achim!
Never been to the caribbean islands, but I've seen them from the airplane while traveling from Brazil to the USA!
I'd love to visit it and to relax bathing in such clear waters!
The picture is very nice because we can see all the beauty very well - the white sand, the clear water - besides that, you have included some elements that prevented the image to get a bit boring: the boat, people in the beach, the dark horizon line!
TFS - Congratulations!
Warmest regards,
Neyvan

Hallo Achim,
This "old" capture still preserves a good quality of image and a few very agreeable colors.
I like the contrast between the sand so white and the blue tones of the sky and of the sea, in a really magnificent place.
Good work.
Best regards,
Josep

Quite minimalist, but so summer style... Ok to me, as I'm am standing in a grey Paris after 2 weeks in a green and rainy Iceland...
Cool light and colors, a good and open frame.
