Allô Krzysztof!
Merveilleux endroit et très jolie piscine naturelle à travers les rochers de pierre volcanique. J'aimerais mieux me retrouver là qu'ici en pleine tempête de neige. La place est bien animée et les couleurs sont superbes.
Toutes mes amitiés et bonne semaine,
Emilius

A very curious place with these natural swimming pools. Excellent presntation of this place with a framing well selcetd and the details well collected. The peopels give life to the view and too an idea of the scale. Great depht too with, in the BG, a beautiful chromatic contrast between sea and sky.
Have a nice week,

Hi Krzysztof.
You've captured these wonderful pools idyllic marine environment, which is what normally should be. I say this because when I visited this place had a terrible time and wave jumping all these volcanic rocks and had nothing to do with the the quiet and delightful picture for us here.
Good handling of light, with a fantastic color. Well done.
Best regards.
Luis.

Hi Krzysztof. The place is beautiful and you chose a great point of view to show it. Natural colors are very nice, clarity and sharpness are great too. I think that it's too much sky and made a workshop that I hope you like.
Have a nice day.

That's a new concept of natural swimming pool. I would call that a hybrid version - part natural, part artifical, but beautiful nevertheless. You show it from a well chosen angle, which gives us a good idea of the shapes and dimensions, also because of the inclusion of the people. Good work, congratulations!

nobuikehonda (3846) 2011-06-02 11:39

Hello Krzysztof,

This is the kind of sun I would love to have indeed. You have chosen here a great Pov. What a place to have a swimming pool. Different tones of blueness is very pleasant to the eyes. You have captured a great summer day in this photo for years to come. Congratulations Krzysztof.

Very best regards,
Nobu.
