Old manglar on the beach, while walking around on the Playa Escondida beach I ran into this old manglar... don't know how it got there but it sure was a nice photo op. Hope you like it.

This is interesting composition. I like shade and background..I like colors :)
Pretty view!

Hi Enrique,
This is a really nice image, with pure colors and outstanding clarity. But I like most the variety of lines: the branches, the shade, the horizon and the hill overimpose to create a great effect (great POV). Nice work, thanks for sharing!
Catalin

Enrique,
Great compo !! It looks like some kind of mutant prehistoric animal walking on the beach. Catalin is right, the variety of lines is terrific. The strong shadow makes is what really makes this shot an eye opener.

Hi Enrique,
nice shot, beatiful colours and POV.
I like altho the black shadow on the sand.
Well done.
Regards,
Nick

Enrique

marianna

Olá Enrique, you got a very beautiful image with this manglar. The colors are very attractive and we can feel well the paradise atmosphere. The dof is perfect and I like the composition with the shadow and all the sky, but I would like to see the end of the branch at right of the image, as well (just a detail though).
Have a nice day,
Ricardo

VERY GOOD SHOT! GREAT COLOURS!!! THIS PICTURE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Muy buena composicion. Pero de seguro que no es un arbol de mangle, mas bien parece un arbol que derribo el cliclon Georges o el del año 2004.

Hello Enrique,

nice shot, in a fantastic place. The colours and the light are very nice, and the tree at upclose give a good DOF to the pic. Good job.

TFS. Sergio.

Hi Enrique, Great DOF, superb blues in both sky & sea, the detail in the trunk is fantastic, overall a very well composed photo, kind regards Wilson.

Hola Enrique,
este manglar tumbado sobre la playa parece un turista tomando el sol. El efecto que crea su sombra en la arena es muy gráfico, rompe con los tonos tan claros de la parte baja de la imagen.
el tronco y las ramas tienen mucho detalle, y por supuesto, el fondo con el mar y la espuma de las olas, la montaña verde y el cielo azul son una maravilla, nos ofrecen un paisaje idílico.
Muy bonita foto amigo mío.
Una abraçada,
Josep

Hi Enrique, amazing composition with the manglar dominating the vie with the blue sea on the back.
good quality and excellent POV and light.
thanks, and have a nice w.e.
ciao

Hola Enrique

saludos

Enrique. I like this shot with the deep blue sky and tha deep black shadow on the beach. I think that you may have another picture with this image - if the sky were to be cropped out and you concentrated on the tree then you would have another good shot.
Regards Colin

Hi Enrique. Here we have a lot of dead trees laying on our beaches but the background is not as exotic as yours. I love the textures captured in the tree. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Excellent composition with the diagonals of both the tree and its shadow. Good focus with excellent detail captured on the trunk.
Kath

Hi Enrique,
Sharp, Vivid, nice contrast and strong appearance. Well done.

Khalid

Hi Enrique,
I love this composition. The placement of the tree stump, its shadow, and the blue sky are all appealing. Looks like you had good vacation in the DR based on your postings. Best regards. Danilo

Hi Enrique,
Very nice tree and great shdow on the sand ! Colors are great with this blue sky !
Christophe

Crisp and powerful... a very interesting composition Enrique which is made strong by these amazing southern colours and the crisp shadow cast by the manglar. It evokes many associations...
ciao
sasa

Hola amigo!

Wow, I am impressed of the sharpness and the clearness of this photo as well of the nice and natural colours.

The leading lines of the tree into the sea are amazing.
Excellent work file mou.

Muy buena toma Enrique, si me hubieras llamado nos vamos los dos a tomar fotos por la costa norte del pais.
Esta muy bien captada y me gusta mucho la forma del tronco seco con el contraste del azul del mar y el cielo, te toco un dia soleado bien lindo. Muy buena composicion y POV.
Gracias por compartirla.
Abrazos.

Hello Enrique,
Nice capture of this old manglar.
I really like the POV here and the shadow projected on the sand.
Beauitful saturated blue sky.
regards
Teresa

Hola Enrique:
Una bonita fotorafía con colores y luces muy buenos, y con un gran sentido de la profundidad.
Es bonito el juego de la sombra con el árbol.
Un saludo: Javi

Hello Enrique,

The shadow of manglar is splendid as at least its body. They are creating beautiful graphics. Foam of sea waves, the green mountain at blurry background with blue sky is wonderful. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Parbo

Hola Enrique,
A lovely one in terms of conditions and exposure, however here I'd have gone for a horizontal framing to avoid cutting the branch and show more to the right. That bein said, I have seen worst places than this one and it brightens my november day very well ;-))
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hola Enrique:
bonita foto, me gusta mucho la composicion. El Pov es genial, y la sombra del manglar da a la foto más identidad.
LO que daria yo ahora por estar tomando el sol en una playa como esta...
saludos Vanessa

Hi Enrique
The POV on the old tree is beautifull. The light also is nice with the shadow on the beach. A very interesting picture for the graphism.
Bertrnd

Very simple yet interesting beach composition. The only thing I would maybe change is cropping some of the sky. Other than that I like this very much. Keep em' coming!

Best regards,

Rob

Hi Enrique,
Nice capture. Maybe it is like you: andante :)... It looks like the tree is crawling in the sand!

Pedro
