Photographer’s Note
Praia da Rocha
this is one of most beautiful beaches in Algarve, as you can see in a summer day afternoon its crowded even much people already left. In background is the Arade river mouth and top left some hotels and apartments buildings. Rgds - J.Carmo

Hi Joao!
I´ve been there about 25 years ago,it was busy, but not crowded like your image shows it.
It`s a great shot,taken from an excellent high POV and I like the composition with ths curve of the shore.
Someone can donate me two weeks there,I would never go there,But I `m happy that soooooo many peeople do so and I can find peace and a calm atmosphere at other more exotic destinations.
Regards,Leo

Wow this is very nice. Also the first time I see a picture of a beach with this view. You stood at a good place, capturing the whole view from there. Well seen. Sothy

Gosto de ver o formigueiro humano nesta praia mas não a trocava por nenhuma das praias desertas, ou quase, da Austrália. Nem que me pagassem!!!
O Algarve é uma das regiões em Portugal que eu não conheço. Talvez um dia isso venha a acontecer.
Mas, gosto do PdV e de todos os pontinhos coloridos na areia.

Hello Joao,
I think that the subject is interesting, but I would have zoomed over the crowd, isolating them from the rest. Just a portion of beach with people. It would have been, in my opinion, a more interesting composition. This way it is rather normal.

Olá João,
O PdV é magnífico, proporcionando uma compo muito atraente, com imensa profundidade e dinamismo. Gosto de como a curva da praia se alonga na diagonal. Aquele imenso formigueiro humano muito colorido torna-a ainda mais atractiva visualmente. É admirável como sítios como este ainda conseguem ser bonitos apesar de tão explorados turisticamente.
Curiosamente é a primeira vista deste tipo deste sítio aqui no TE. Suponho que um certo preconceito contra este tipo de turismo explique isso, mas ainda bem que alguém colmatou a omissão.
Um abraço, José.
