Skaisti esi noķēris mirkli... laba kompozīcija... Tā ēna skaisti ieguļ bildē... ;)
Jauku dienu!

Hi Ivars,
vey nice composition, the subject gives a feeling of joy and movement, while her movement is weel rendered by the blurred towel.
The dark blue of the background is broken by the flare, but this is not annoying at all. Congratulations, Dario

Hi Ivars,
Excellent contrast of moods between the happy girl and nature ... well captured. Well composed and good color quality. Well done.
Cheers,
Renier

Very good shot, Ivars! I like the gradient of light here, and the girl looks so happy! Nice to have her reflection as well. Good work!

Cheers

Hi Ivars,

fantastic light. She is partly silhouetted, partly highlighted. You took care not to cut the shadow and you have her positioned in the perfect place with plenty of nice empty space. The colors are superb, especially in the sky. Thats for the technical stuff. The best part though is the fantastic mood here.

Hello Ivars,
Yes very beautiful and successfull shot. It looks a Antonio composition (if you don't know him, see in my favorite photographers).
Excellent sharpness. I enjoy the sky. Good colors.
Good moment, a bit peotic. Very well done.
Best regards,
Fabrice

Nice composition. Amazing sharpness. Regards, Yvonne

Hi Ivars,

wow that must have been amazing, to stand there, I can almost feel the wind from the photo...superb!

take care, Ivana

Sveiks Ivars!

The lighting in your photo is positively surreal! It's a wonderful composition and very well thought out on your part -- you even caught her shadow!

Linda

Hi Ivars,
This is a beautiful composition, lovely colours as you rightly said. And I love this combination of sunny weather and storm clouds gathering at the same time with this girl adding just that bit of 'extra' to make this a perfect picture. Well Done!

Nice light in this shot Ivars. There's a bit of flare from the sun in the middle of the image that I find a little distracting, but otherwise its really nice.

The composition if the land is good with the sand/sea transition on a diagonal. However the girl is too small in the frame, but I understand that you wanted to keep all of her shadow in it.

Hi Ivarsu,

A good POV of the person, the beach, the sea and of the storm clouds giving nice colors to the photo. It is sharp, clear and it has a good composition. Thanks for sharing.
