It's probably the Dominican music but those trees were dancing Samba. A beautiful beach.

Très rigolo ! bien sûr, on aurait préféré voir en entier l'arbre de premier plan, mais il n'y avait sûrement pas assez de recul.

J'aime beaucoup également. Mêmes remarques que Desman ;-)

Wow! Great! Simple subject, but surely effective! I like it. The lighting's ok...but what about a human subject in the frame? I know, i know...it was a decisive moment!

Keep up the good work.

Mario,
Very good of you to see this. Often a grey sky is a better background - especially as here where the main objects are lit.
Regards,
MvS

Jolie composition. Bien vu le cocotier central coupé, et le cadrage plein centre. Jolies couleurs, et beau dynamisme de la photo.

Bonjour Mario,
j'aime beaucoup l'ensemble dans le mouvement, le parallélisme des troncs.
l'angle est super, et malgré le 'bout' qui manque, je reste conquis.
tres joli

Good eye--I like how you aligned the palm trees. They are truly "dancing"! Excellent shot.

What a strong composition! Well done

A very beautiful composition Beaches are always nice but those bowed trees make it special

Great!!! Beautiful place!!!
dancing coconuts

Extremely good composition, Mario... But, uhmmm I think they are dancing Bachata, but I´m not sure. Very well done.

Bonsoir.
Superbe ! J'adore cette courbe naturelle qui donne du mouvement à la photo.
Très bon choix de cadrage et très belles couleurs.
Bravo

NICE SHOT. I LOVE THOSE TREES. THEY LOOK AS THOUGH THEYRE ALIVE.

Mario, je te retourne le compliment - 'good eye' :) C'est vraiment chouette cette photo - c'est tellement vrai que si on a l'oeil, la nature nous gate! A+ sur Trek!

A darn interesting concept. Wow, all I can say is this picture is amazing! I still looking at it. Most impressive.

Amazingly graceful. Well seen, Mario.

Bonjour Mario,
J'aime bien cette image tant dans sa composition que ses couleurs. On a l'impression d'être caressé par la brise. Merci.
Gérard

Hi Mario, well I opened your gallery and got this fantastic shot with these beauties dancing on the beach, so I can't resist: amazing!!! and the colors - gorgeous, esp. in the lower half of the pic. Beautiful composition, fresh, also humorous. And thanks for the info, I didn't know that Dominican music is called Samba too. Thanks for sharing, and I'll definitely have to go back to see and enjoy more. Regards, Daniel

Great shot with very good composition

Hi Mario...
It's a real samba... Perfect action photograph and wonderful composition indeed...
The colors and light are incredible as usual...
TFS...
Stay well..
Salim.
PS: Thank you very much for your comment on Waiting for Spring

Whatever music they're dancing to, they are beckoning me to join them on the beach.

Great POV, well composed.

Great photo.

Wow. Tremendous frame. What can I say. Terrific

Good capture and framing of these two equaly curved palm trees. The title really suggests that they are dancing on the winds rhythm.
TFS, Peter

Hi Mario,

very nice idea, POV and composition are perfect to match the title ;)

Well done!

Gio

Salut Mario,
