Hi, Mario
Oh, I understand you perfectly, Punta Cana is my favorite destination in all Caribbean. Excellent composition with bright colors, well balanced light, great point of view and perspective. Very well done indeed
Best regards from Ontario

When a photo makes me wish I was there, I know its a good one. And this photo does exactly that. I love the green water, the palm tree, the boat . . . I really wish I was there.

Its a beautiful picture!

Hola Mario

Muy hermosa foto, nuestros huracanes antillanos dejan estas palmeras en posiciones poco habituales pero que se integran muy bien en las hermosas playas del caribe.Esta foto es muy limpia, con excelente enfoque y composición.Muchos saludos, Rafael

Hi Mario, excellent use of the palm trunk along the diagonal to lead the eye into the heart of the composition. The boat is well placed and the pastel shades blend together well. It would have been easy to over-saturate the colours but the subtlety here is far preferable. Well done. Stephen

Wow! Great that you were back to the Dominican Republic. I'm eager to see your new pictures. This one is great. I love the way how the palm tree extends towards the sea giving you picture depth. Colors, light and composition are great. Regards, Yvonne

Hi Mario
This is what I need when it's 15°C and raining outside. It's supposed to be summer :-(
Great composition with the tree trunk stretching out into the sea in a paradisiacal way, framing the colourful boat nicely. The green sea looks very inviting.
Regards
Nikki

Hello Mario! A pleasant beach, where I would like to be just now. Colours are nice and the seagrass makes nice colour changes contrast in the sea waters.
Regards,
Zeca
