[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I hadn’t planned on posting another beach shot for a while, but given the dreary weather here and having been stuck in bed with flu for the last two days, I’ve finally found the strength to switch on my computer and all I can think of is escaping from here… In the meantime I’m planning my holidays for the year and so far none of my travels involve beaches.

This is Palm Island, a private island where we set anchor for an hour or so and swam ashore for a stroll on the beach. This shot was taken from the boat. I waited for the sun to come out from behind a cloud to illuminate the sand.

Beautifull foto, this one very peacefull.

Hello Susanna,
An attractive scenery is captured, in fact I would not mind spending some time on this beach right now... Outside here is snowy and quite cold!
Beautiful colours are very eye-catching, scenery is well framed and presented in a simple but attractive composition!
Greetings,

Hi Susanna
Great luminosity and water colors here...good sharpness and framing too..i spent 4 or 5 days in 1978 there i i was on a boat with friends of the owner.. nice people that let me sleep in their house, eat drink...everything!
Nice memories your photo brought to me!
Cheers
Laurent

Bonsoir Susannna,
une véritable carte paradisiaque cette photo ! après une journée de boulot j'avoue que cela fait du bien aux yeux. La présence de ces gros nuages est un plus pour apporter du relief au paysage. Bien joué.
Xavier

Hello Susanna!

Excellent done!
Lili

Great photo, with beautiful colors and good sharpness.

Hello Susanna,
Un très beau paysage, nous invitant à la farniente... rien faire et attendre que ça passe. Un petit coin de paradis.
Belle photo avec ce chapeua de nuages juste au-dessus de l'île.
Bein vu.
Salutations

Un paysage de rêve superbement photographié.

Hi Susanna,

oh this is like from some summer holiday catalogue...mhm perfect to look at in this grey weather...isn´t there any Lost? ;-)

Take care, Ivana

Salut Susanna,
Ben t'es pas epargnee par les microbes, toi, bon retablissement !
J'espere que cette vue t'aidera a retrouver la sante, ca fait tres Robinson comme image mais on devine que la petite maison sur l'ile n'a rien d'une cabane... Le bourgeonnement nuageux ajoute beacoup d'interet au ciel.
Bonne journee,
JEan-Yves

Hello Suzanna,
Nice composition with the white cloud well balancing the little island.

Didier

Hello Susanna,
on passe de la neige aux tropiques avec toi.
Ici, le polarisant a bien agi sur les contrastes dans le ciel et sur la surface des flots.
Les couleurs sont à l'image du paysage, paradisiaques.
Simple, mais séduisant, le POV est bien choisi.
Amitié de Belgique où il a fait beau ce jour.
Daniel.

Hi Susanna
Poor you having the flu and yesterday was definitely a day for staying indoors. Yes this does help one dream of holidays being the picture-postcard type image. The contrasts are stunning and I really like those billowing clouds.
So where are you planning to go this year ?
After the beautiful beaches of Corsica last year, we're not going to have a beach holiday this year either as it'll be winter in Australia.
Regards
Nikki

Hi Susanna

Gorgeous place, a particular paradise to very lucky people. Very good job with shade and light. Excellent colors and good POV.
Best Regards
Leonor

Bonsoir Susanna,

Un fabuleux ciel comme je les aime. Cette photo sur cette île paradisiaque est fabuleuse. Les couleurs naturelles sont extraordinaires. Ces rivages aux couleurs turquoises sont superbes. La belle lumière est fort appréciable aussi. Une très belle réalisation et merci du partage, ça fait du bien.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne soirée,

Jean-Charles

Hi Susanna - the shades of aquamarine in the water, and the alluring island are pretty enough, but that cloud above really wins the prize. Sorry to hear about the weather, its' warm, sunny and summerlike today in California :-)

Hi Susanna,

Hope you are over your flu.

Beautiful image .. In addition to the obvious beauty I feel this strange wonderful with the sea to the island on top .. from the sky to the cloud below ..

wonderful tones .. it is a tropical scene .. but kind of a darker moodier one.

take care,

John

Hi Susanna,

I've just got over the flu myself so I know how you've been feeling. That is one thing about photos, you can look at an image like this and all the memories come flooding back.

It is a wonderful idyllic scene and I certainly wish I was there right now.

Best regards,
Paul.
