[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The first beach that you encounter on the rough east coast is this little beach near Hectors River. The wind is usuallly coming from sea and things can get quite rough on this side. This is also the best [part odf the country for some real windsurfing.

It looks like a nice undeveloped place to enjoy some tranquility, Gerrit. I like the framing with the sea and the strong horizon line placed between the two small with vegetation on the extreme sides. Regards, Daniel

Have a nice weekend,
Thomas

Hello Gerrit,
Un ciel magnifique et un très beau paysage.
Bon cadrage entre les rochers qui ferment l'image de chaque côté.
De très jolies couleurs et une belle lumière.
Amicalement,
Denise

I like the composition so we can enjoy the open view out to sea but the rocks on each side frame the image nicely. There are some very pretty clouds in teh sky too.

Hallo Gerrit,
Een wijdse blik met een mooie doorkijk naar de open zee. Gelukkig zitten er flink wat wolken boven waardoor het gehele plaatje een stuk sterker word.
Prettig weekend, Henk

Hi Gerrit
I like the POV and natural framing of the beach view by rocks on both sides, giving a good visual impact.I appreciate the pleasant luminosity and vivid colors.
Greetings from India

Hello Gerrit my friend,
Very beautiful coastal scenery under a nice tropical sun!
the pov is superb with depth, nice warm colouration and details
the awesome clouds formation is a big bonus in this shot
well done
tony

Hi Gerrit. Great photo. Good use of natural features to frame your view. This scene has good life with the waves and clouds. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Olá Gerrit, strong wind and sand - not a good combination for some relaxed sunbathing...good for windsurf, of course. Nice beautiful spot. Fine inclusion of the river(?) arriving to the beach.
Enjoy the weekend,
ricardo

Hi Gerrit,
Belle vue sur la mer avec les rochers sombre placé de chaque côté, avec une bele lumiére qui fait briller la mer

Hallo Gerrit,

Als ik naar dit plaatje kijk is “Robinson Crusoe” mijn eerste associatie.
Je snapt dan wel dat ik “Vrijdag” een beetje mis op deze foto, maar dat ligt natuurlijk aan mij en niet aan deze mooie foto.
Goed werk.

Groet Rob

Hola Gerrit.
Very nice small beach surrounded by rocks and cliff producing a nice frame to your shot, good lighting and beautiful colors. Very well captured.
Well done.
Wish you a nice weekend.
Abrazos.

Hi Gerrit,
I like the way you incorporate the pond of water in the foreground to give it a point of interest. Good image and color quality. Well captured and composed! tfs

It looks like a deserted beach and little visited places where the sea what they drag. Excellent colors and contrasts.

Goedenavond Gerrit,

U heeft schitterend geprofiteerd van de opening tussen de twee rotsen om diepte te creëeren on de open zee.
Gelukkig had u ook de wolken mee om de foto tevullen met iets leuks.
Goede samenstelling, bedankt.

Groeten,
John.

salut gerrit
un angle qui s'ouvre vers la mer et l'horizon infini, une idée de partir loin, un bon POV dommage pour la netteté qui n'est pas au top

Hi Gerrit,

Hi Gerrit
The framing of the sea is well done with the small cliffs on either side. The clouds are also dramatic & add to the beauty of this tranquil place. Good work including the pool of water in the FG.

Hi Guerrit
Nice seascape
But I think that 100 ISO was sufficient for the exposure.
Interesting backlights without underexposure.
Cheers.

Gerrit bonjour.

Ce rivage sauvage est d'une grande beauté. On s'imagine volontiers en Robinson Crusoé dans un tel décor. Bien vu et bien composé.
Jacques
