Hi Elzbieta
that light in the distance is lovely, quite bright and adds dynamics to the water. Also like how you opted for more water than sky, which is good for the textures of water is lovely. good shot.

Hi Elzbieta,
It is a sight of a wonderful landscape, and is true, looks like the paradise. I like the setting and the depth of the image, and especially, the fantastic tones of color turquoise of the sea.
A great shot.

Ale kolor zar±biasty! Jak drugi raz pojedziesz w tamte strony to zabierz mnie ze sob±. Bêdê ci teczkê nosi³. By³em ju¿ w wielu krajach ale nie w tak egzotycznych. Bardzo ³adna kompozycja. Stateczki, góry, morze. I te kolory!

Hi Elzbieta!
It realy looks like paradise and the color of the sea is amazing.I`ve been to the carebian sea in Guadeloupe in 1988 and your photo brings back good memeories.Nice arrangement of the sailingboats a nice beach ,where I would like to be now,and a nice view at the mountans in the distance.
Regards,Leo

Hello Elzbieta,
Wonderful photo with this fantastic colours on the sea's surface. I like the diagonal made by the hills on the left side and the view of the palm trees on its extremity. The boats calmly floating adds a lot of character to the photo.
The colours and light are fantastic.
Cheers.
Paulo

Hi, Elzbieta. I like the different tones of green in the water. Tis provides a very good contrast for the boats on the right of the picture. The mountains make a very good background.

Hello Elzbieta,
The colors of this sea are really incredible. This is really what I think like being a paradise... The emerald sea and the beaches covered with coconuts trees, it is just a symphony of colors.
Have a nice evening,
Best regards, Christian

Witaj Ela,
Very nice scenery. Superb colours and good light. I like the composition.
Well done,
Ahmet

Hi Elzbieta.
Une mer avec une couleur incroyable, cela donne envie de partir pour ce pays. Le ciel par comparaison paraît moins intéressant. J'ai fair un WS pour donner plus de force au cliché.

Hi Elzbieta,

Hello Elzbieta,
la couleur de l'eau est assurément l'élément vedette ici, celui qui dépayse. Un horizon qui penche un rien sur le gauche, mais cela se voit.
Les bateaux donnent cette impression de vacance et de plaisance.
Bien à toi, de Liège.

Hi Elzbieta,
What a paradise you have revealed! The lighting and shadow effects on the water really enhance here, and the light striking the sailboats is an extra bonus. I like how the slice of island juts into the frame on the left, revealing rich foliage and a dream sand beach. You managed the exposure here very well by eliminating glare. Well seen and captured. Cheers.

Hello Elzbieta,
Again a summer smelling picture !
The water color is so nice, very tempting.
Well done,

Hi Elu - excellent scan quality as usual, and beautiful tropical scenery, I like the many different shades of turquoise.

Hi Elzbieta,
just now I realized that this is not a digitally taken picture. That makes it quite special. I wonder how much you really lost in the processing moment and how it really must have looked in reality. Well placed boats in your composition.

Hello Elzbieta
Love that slice of green, bright & attractive. Lovely textures in the water, with boats just at the junction of the two greens. Paradise for sure!

Hi Elzbieta!

You 've been away for some time (again!) and I was missing your beautiful pictures! Thank god, you 're back and here we have an excellent landscape, greatly composed, with beautiful colours. Congratulations!

What stunning colours in Paradise. The light on the water gives an amazing effect; it almost glows. Well composed with the two corners of land jutting into the frame to balance each other. Beautiful.

Serwus Elzbieta,
This is a place I've always wanted to visit. I'm jealous; the light color and framing makes it look like a magical place. I really prefer your version to either of the WS, the bright shaft of light turning the foreground hill almost red against the misty background mountain feels true to me. HLJ, Pat

Another interesting setting of this place Elzbieta. Faboulos color on the water, interesting details of the place. Maybe a bit more offcentered placment of the compo had worked as well for this one. i.e. by cropping a little in the lower part.

Helo Elizabeta
WoW.........paradise again, i love to see this place completly.
Masterwork
Bravo Elizabeta

Ojej jakie zielone, przypomina mi to co¶, ale nie bardzo pamiêtam co ;). S³odziutkie w ka¿dym razie i budzi chêæ do wskoczenia w monitor :).

Olá Elzbieta, what an attractive paradise image, no doubt about that. The color of the water and the incredible placement of that beach surrounded by a dreamy landscape makes this photo a success. Good shot with a nice inclusion of the boats, giving us the information that in spite of all, we are not alone ;-)
Best regards,
Ricardo
