A group of locals on the beach of Long Bay. Local beach time means bringing a lot of food and drink and 'pasa dia' , relaxing and drinking and eating and just spend the day talking and swimming.
A great place to do so.

Hi Gerrit,
Wow what a wonderful tropical scene with the vivid blue sky and its intricate clouds above the lovely turquoise ocean.
The folks on the beach really give this one a warm feel to this lovely landscape.
Regards, Tom

Hi Gerrit,
Your photos from Jamaica look like photographic interpretions of Gaugin paintings. Especially this one, with brunette ladies surrounded by lively color tones... The only think we need more here, is a horse :)
Cheers,
Deniz

Hi Gerit,
Interesting story about how people can spend their nice time on the beach, colourful and artistic sitting place, good pov to show the blue sea and sunny sky, thanks for sharing.

Bonjour gerrits,
contrastes forts et couleurs fortes, c'est tout la Jamaïque cela, on connait leur gouts pour les teintes puissantes et vives.
Une scène tropicale bien agréble et de tous les jours qui nous plonge dans le rêve.
Best wishes.
Daniel.

Hello Gerrit,
very pleasant scene on the beach. I like the broad framing.

Hi Gerrit,
Well composed image of Jamaica daily beach life! The framing of these beachgoers puts them in first view with nice beach BG to the image
Bright colors and correct sharpness
Greetings
Laurent

Hi Gerrit,
Pleasant beach scene, strangely nobody swimming but still a good place to chat. the clouds are nice to add *D feeling to the view. To improve picture quality I would reduce the ISO to 100 and not close the lens so much, on this lens the quality probably starts to decrease beyond f/13 and it's best between f/8 and f/13.
Have a nice day JY

Hello Gerrit,
A happy and animated scene with lots of colour and all under a lovely tropical sky. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Gerrit,
What a great lifestyle ... a wonderful daily life capture. Interesting cloud formations and dynamic waves. Well captured and composed ... I like the natural vibrant colors. Tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Great colorful line in FG, Gerrit. Wonderful human mood, very diferent from our beaches...The painted wall adds a lot of color here. I recognize the mexican blanket where the lady on the left is sat on - I have one just like that one.

ric

Hi Gerrit.
A pleasing daily life shot, full of colour, and a great feeling of the sea. One can almost feel the breeze and smell the sea. The sky is a little grainy, but DOF is very good. I would, however, recommend a larger aperture and lower ISO for this kind of daylight shot. I think you could get the same DOF with f8.
Regards,
Andrew

HI Gerrit,

another colorful scene from Jamaica. I like this choice for the strong saturation. Its fits pretty well for this coastal landscape. Great job!
Regards,
Carlos

Hi Gerrit,
colourful beach scene of leisure with a good background by the peninsula. A nice daily life one, maybe a bit dark.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Gerrit,
The colors in this vista are so rich, looks like a Velvia print. I like this unposed scene. Looks like the crowd is having a good time on a beautiful day. Greetings! Danilo

Lovely beach scene with a difference. No lines of sunloungers and umbrellas for a pleasant change. Just local people enjoying a day out at the beach. Well composed on the diagonal.

Hi Gerrit,
I love the saturated colors here, looks like quite a relaxing place. I hope you enjoyed your time there.
Thanks for sharing this shot.

Hi Gerrit
I like the saturation of colour here. I also like the clouds as they add a visual interest.

Hi Gerrit,
Tropical sea, tropical colours, and a well composed shot. The image seems a little grainy perhaps due to the higher ISO chosen. At 35mm focal length and 1/500 at f/16 you probably could have cranked down the ISO a lot, opened up the aperture and still achieved the same shutter speed, but you would have a sharper image. Good shot though, and thanks for showing.
Regards
Lee

hi Gerrit

Fun time at the beach is clearly shown in this capture. Very nice landscape view in this capture. Perhaps the exposure is just a tad UE or there seems over saturation? But overall, this is a fine shot with great colorful contrast.

tfs, bill

Dag Gerrit,

Eten en wat drinken en lekker niets doen dan achteraf wat zwemmen moet wel vrij goed gevoel geven voor deze mensen.
De stenen zitbanken dragen enigzins bij voor het mooie kleur gevoel.

De zee en de hemel dregen hun steentje bij voor een prachtige foto, lichtjes schuin maar zeker geen drama.
Mooi werk opnieuw. Bedankt.

Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John.

Fantastic shot, it's like a street fotography on a beach. Interesting scene, good sharpness and beautiful colours.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hi Gerrit,
great atmosphere of joy of life in this composition! I also like the phantastic colours. Really a pleasure for the eyes!

hello Gerrit,
the colours are fantastic, this is how I've always imagined Jamaica :) I especially like the deep turquoise of the water, it feels clean and fresh.
I see that others have already remarked about the noise, especially in the sky, so I will not comment on that. compositionally (if that was possible) I'd try turning to the right a little, to have the colourful element of the tables (?) and people throughout the scene. but that's nit-picking :) the photo is great.

regards,
Kristine

Hola Gerrit.
Wonderful daily life shot this time at the beach, I like the great scene of the women chatting and having a good time, as you said, a good "pasa dia". Strong colors and good POV.
Well done.

Hi Gerrit, friend,

I passed some nice moments in front of this lovely and colorful photo. Looking also for the details, so I like the wall. All color and everywhere are welcome. Nice and calm photo, despite the wind.

My felicitations and best wishes for the summer holidays,
