Waiting for you Photo

Photographer’s Note

Last upload. This coming Monday I'm leaving to Buenos Aires, Argentina for 2 weeks.

This picture was taken from the balcony of an apartment located on the sea front of Juan Dolio Beach, it was a beautiful sunny morning, I left on purpose a tiny bit of coconut tree leaves on the left for better frame.
Not much was done as a PP work on this picture, just some crop and sharpness after resizing.

Hope you like it.

Idyllic tropical beach empty of people. I thought it must be early morning but the shadows are short so where are all the people? You had a fantastic POV looking down on the beach. It's amazing how tall those palms are when compared to the huts. Stunning shot. Enjoy your trip.

Hola Emile,

Una playa hermosísima, tomada desde un punto de vista privilegiado. Me gustan mucho los bellos colores y la muy buena luz.
Buenas vacaciones en B.A.

Cariños

Bonsoir Emile,
Une merveilleuse plage de sable blanc comme celle-là, ça donne envie de partir dans le Sud. Je me souviens pas avoir vu cette plage quand je suis allé à Juan Dolio, elle n'était peut-être pas là car je vois que les palmiers sont jeunes. Quand je suis allé on était à créer une plage, voisin de notre hôtel, avec du sable pris ailleurs et on se préparait à construire un hôtel. Excellente clarté d'image et superbes couleurs. Je pars moi aussi pour une semaine de vacnces, mais ici au Québec, pour admirer les paysages d'automne.
Bonne vacances à Buenos Aires,
Amicalement,
Emilius

Charo (31803) 2007-10-19 18:01

Hola Emile,
Otro bonito paraíso de tu país. Me gusta esa arena blanca con sus pequeñas palmeras esparcidas por ella.
La luz y los colores son estupendos.
Un abrazo
Charo

Scharan (13955) 2007-10-19 18:06

Que visual maravilhoso Emile, quem não gostaria de estar aí agora...;)
Linda fotografia, ótimo ângulo, cores divinas; as palmeiras muito altas e tortas parecem estar bailando. Ótimo trabalho meu amigo, parabéns!

hi Emile,
oo,what a beauty from your balcony(envy you)!
tropical paradise.soft colors,love it!
enjoy by your trip!
Flory

siolaw (25832) 2007-10-19 23:39

Hi Emile,
A cleat, sharp and noiseless image. The sweet colors look great and sharpness is first class! (I'm not joking!) I'm not sure about the bit of palm, which could easily have been cloned out, but that is a minor detail.
Enjoy your trip in Argentina, and bring us loads of pictures back!
Laurent

plimrn (19710) 2007-10-19 23:43

Hola Emile,
Stunning detail, great color in your very attractive framing of paradise.
HLJ, Pat

aloyho (6109) 2007-10-19 23:50

Hi Emile,
This is a very attractive place and to be able to enjoy such view from your balcony is a luxury. Judging from the shadows it must be around midday. I particularly enjoyed to see the young palms decorating the foreground, the lovely calm blue sea and the nice clouds. As for the bit of palm leaves on the left, I personally would go without it together with the one on the far right. A well exposed shot!!

Regards and have a great time in Argentina.

lestans (15492) 2007-10-20 0:14

Hi Emile! you make us dream looking at such a beach.
It is not only beautful but also lonely! Waiting for me.
What a luck to live here!
Livia

AiresSantos (42902) 2007-10-20 0:43

Ola Emile.
Gracias por tu invitación. Me gustaba mucho visitar a Republica De Dominica porque es un bonito país.
Esto es una foto muy buena con el POV y la calidad excelentes. Tenga un buen fin de semana

TopGeo (22213) 2007-10-20 1:21

Hi Emile.Excellent view! Very spectacular landscape. The composition perfect, with good prospect up to the improbable horizon and above and under the colours live. Manufactures and the environment dream.
Compliments
Georgios

Cricri (43738) 2007-10-20 2:35

Hola Emile,
Soleil, plage, côcotiers, une mer d'un bleu sublime qui donne envie de s'y plonger, tout simplement un coin de paradis ou la présentation est excellente
Have a nice weekend for you and you family

Hi, my friend!
it is very nice photo. Vacation photo, I like your all nature and relax. Good colours and light. Well done.
Marek

Truja (4948) 2007-10-20 7:15

Bona tarda Emile,
mirando tu fotografía llego a la conclusión que el paraíso está en la República Dominicana, qué belleza de paisaje.
Las palmeras - vegetación mediterránea por excelencia- junto a la arena blanca, y los azules del mar y del cielo, forman una excelente composición.
Salud.
Desde Catalunya, Jordi

stego (22448) 2007-10-20 7:47

Hola Emile,

Me quedo un poco nostálgico sólo de verla, aun que no conozca esa playa en particular. Cuando me fue de paseo a Juan Dolio solo logré ver un pedazito de la playa publica, pero estaba lloviendo y algo oscuro y es algo complicado de llegar cerca del mar, al menos de coche.

Los colores y nitidez son excelentes y la compo está muy bien lograda, el arreglo de los elementos está muy elegante. Es interesante como la derecha está mucho mas llena que la izquierda y mesmo así no hay cualquier desequilibrio.

Espero que lo disfrutes bien en la Primavera de Argentina.

Un fuerte abrazo, José.

Mafo (1339) 2007-10-20 14:46

Hello Emile,
very clear photo with nice pastel colors and nice presentation of atmosphere there.
Thank You, regards

barrufeto_77 (25935) 2007-10-20 19:11

Hola emile.

Que vaya bien por Argentina pues...disfruta si es por placer.

Sobre la foto...pues hombre, invita ciertamente a ir la verdad. Tiene una pinta tremenda el sitio ese...

Un saludote!

axiotea (16287) 2007-10-20 23:50

Bonjour Emile
An inviting title and a pleasant view from the balcony with good exposure considering the strong light, excellent colors and a good sense of depth.
Cheers
Marilyn
P.S enjoy your trip :)

cunejo200 (7243) 2007-10-21 3:03

Hello Emile, I certainly could use a trip to this beautiful exotic tropical location. This is what I look for in a vacation. I like the tech details of this image and how you presented them. Best regards, Danilo

josepmarin (34099) 2007-10-21 3:28

Hola amigo Emile,
éste es el lugar en el que mi esposa dice que quiere alojarse cuando nos sea posible venir a la RD. Un lugar y una playa preciosos, muy sugerentes, que invitan a unas bonitas y relajadas vacaciones. Arena blanca, mar azul intenso, cielo con bellas nubes decorativas y elegantes palmeras.
¿Qué más se puede pedir? Sí, una copa en estas terrazas y una visita a un buen amigo dominicano.
Preciosa foto, hasta pronto, disfruta de tu viaje.
Josep

pcp (3368) 2007-10-21 9:32

Hi Emile,

I love this sky and landscape.. Very nice composition. Left and right side leaves are distracting the image bit. I have posted a workshop for you hope you will like it :D

Hi Emile,
A bucolic scene captured in fine light. You controlled the exposure well here and I like the way the sand melds into the sea. This is an inviting place, with romantic overtones supplied by the tall swaying palms. Have a good trip to Argentina.
John

Paolo (40755) 2007-10-21 13:29

Hi Emile, beautiful image, colorful and full of light, with excellent quality and a great POV.

ciao

gneufeld (15235) 2007-10-21 16:11

Hi Emile,
Oh, to be there right now!! A wonderful and peaceful morning view of a spectacular place. Great colors with exceptional clarity and sharpness. Had it been my image, I might have cropped the tuft of three branch of that we now see in the upper left. Very nice work and TFS. Gerald

atus (15476) 2007-10-21 16:15

Hello Emile,
very nice shot of a great perspective and fantastic view. I like the tropical atmosphere here and makes me want to be there also because of the lack of people. Very nice one!
Tfs and best wishes.
Attila

singuanti (15240) 2007-10-21 19:42

Hi Emile. This is a beautiful mix of ocean, huts and palm trees. I like that you left the saturation at a realistic level. This is simple but well composed shot. Have a great trip!

Docarmo (8846) 2007-10-21 20:21

Hi Emile,
Beautiful picture with this marvelous typical tropical scenery. Nicely captured from an excellent POV.
Thanks for sharing,

zeca (20026) 2007-10-21 20:35

This is beautiful Emile! A postcard to invite all TE members to visit this nice island! The framing is perfect with excellent colours!
Regards,
Zeca

darrasin (2860) 2007-10-21 20:40

Hello Emile! Beautiful work here with natural looking colors. The repeating pattern of tall and short palms is well seen. I might crop the left edge a little to remove that dangling palm leave, but otherwise it's perfect.

TFS
Doug

isabela_sor (42471) 2007-10-22 0:37

Today we have only cold rain and in a few areas ....a lot of snow!!Looking your image,I can imagine how it looks the paradise.Lucky you :)

vincz (19045) 2007-10-22 0:40

The beach looks so clean! Almost immaculate. And nobody there. very interesting catch with the boat at the horizon.

papagolf21 (56737) 2007-10-22 0:59

Bonjour, mon ami Emile,
Lieu paradisiaque s'il en est ! Doux rêve souvent évoqué. Tous les ingrédients sont réunis pour avoir envie de tout abandonner pour s'envoler et se poser sur cette merveilleuse plage.
Une très belle photographie qui fait saliver.
Amitiés.
Philippe

jrj (34779) 2007-10-22 2:56

Another very attractive detail from the places around you Emile - shoulden't take to much motivation to stay there...
Fine beach setting with all the palms, the blue sea and the small huts out there.

jhm (83328) 2007-10-22 3:05

Hello emile,

What a nice vacation area with all this palmtrees.
Excellent picture with the entry between the trees to the small houses against the water.
Very nice composition and pleasant colours for looking.
Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice week,
John.

Emile,
Se o paraiso existe, ele deve ser uma coisa assim, não? A foto está perfeita e dá vontada de banhar-se.

Abraço

Paulo

Belle photo de cette superbe plage parradisiaque,ces palmiers haut sont très jolis et attirent bien l' attention. très jolie prise de votre balcon,très jolies vue aussi. Jolies couleurs,bonne netteté et beaucoups de détails superbes.

ChrisJ (70443) 2007-10-22 22:43

Hi Emile

This wonderful tropical scene looks very inviting. Nice repetition of the coconut palms, with superb colour & sharpness. Tfs!

Cretense (57010) 2007-10-23 10:06

Hola Emile!

Ojala pudiera esta alli, ahora mismo! Un paisaje fantastico y tranquilo, con buena composicion, impresionante campo de profundidad y muy bellos coloures. Felicidades!

Un saludo, Hercules

batalay (21193) 2007-10-23 10:10

Olá Emile,
Like a beautiful vision, the beach stretches out. the causeway connects the huts suspended on posts above the water. These palms are quite young, wasn't there a generation of palms wiped out by a hurricane. Superb composition, flawless execution.

Um abraço,

Bülent

alvaraalto (5303) 2007-10-26 13:11

Hi Emile,

Astonishing that a quarter to ten this beautiful beach is still without visitors. Maybe they all have been at the party till long after midnight and are still in their bed. They don’t know what they miss.

Groet Rob

devimeuxbe (56362) 2007-10-27 14:18

Hi Emile
i hope you have a good trip to argentina. This is a beautifull picture. The beach is so clean.
Excellent

pboehringer (770) 2007-10-29 10:46

Emile,
have a good trip to the far Buenos Aires. Are you meeting any TE members there?
Excellent, pristine overview of the Juan Dolio beach. I believe that your POV is somewhere from a building beacuse I can't remember any hills in that area.
Regards, Peter

ALIRIZA (16197) 2007-10-30 5:10

Hi Emile,
Excellent scene from tropical beach. Perfect POV and very well composed. Well done my dear friend...

robertosalguero (110) 2007-11-05 23:00

Hola Emile,

Me gusta esta combination of colores. The blue and white sand combinan muy bien para darnos una buena idea de lo belleza de los tropicos. Muy buena claridad y nitidez. Pienso que el angulo le da mas interes a la imagen. Gracias amigo.

Roberto

japiey (9521) 2007-11-07 1:24

Dear Emile,

Beautifull shot.
The place is a real dream...and you are right...it waits for the real touch... step there and enjoy the days, dear friend.

Salutes.

luiscar (3282) 2007-11-09 16:20

Hola amigo Emile,
Gracias por tu recibimiento y encantado de volver a visitar tu galeria, siempre sustanciosa y de calidad.
La imagen que nos muestras no pasa desapercibida en tu galería es una verdadera postal, que podría valer perfectamente como cartel publicitario de cualquier agencia de viajes.
Excelente color y definición, con un POV exquisito.
Felicidades
Buenas noches

mightyweed (1290) 2007-11-10 5:14

Hi,Emile...what a fantastic photo of this amazing place...I want to go there...greetings

balatrek (7419) 2007-11-18 11:25

Hola Emile,

Bonito y típico paisaje caribeño, la perspectiva desde un punto de vista alto crea una mejor sensación de grandiosidad y muestras el lugar de una forma más completa, la luz y los colores son suaves y están bien equilibrados evitando de este modo fuertes cambios de contrastes, la playa parece fantástica, dan ganas de pasear y disfrutar de un buen día soleado.

Un saludo
José

pablominto (41354) 2007-11-18 23:37

Hello Emile,
A lovely view of this tropical beach, really warming to see on a dark and cold day like this!
Nice framing, good colours and details...
I notice the beautiful cloud formation in the horizon!
Greetings,
Pablo -

riclopes (33135) 2007-11-23 10:06

Olá Emile, good POV and wonderful graphism from all the palmtrees, including the small ones on the sand. The blue tones of the BG work well for contrast. There's a very nice lazy atmosphere that makes me dream with holidays, when looking at this image.
Happy thanksgiving with your son and family,
ricardo

nivaldo (13389) 2008-01-07 9:49

Algo que me parece com la "Playa dos CARNEIROS", near RECIFE !
A real PARADISE, Emile !
A Healthy and Happy 2008!
From Recife-Brasil,
