[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The beach called El Golfo is in Lanzarote, Canary Islands. It is an ancient volcanic crater now partially invaded by the sea. The sand is black, due to its volcanic origin. The surround is red-grey-yellow colored, so typical of volcanic rocks.

Hi!
Interesting composition and a very good one!
Nice texture to all the three different parts of the picture.
The persons in the top left is of course a very important focus point for viewers, and I think they are in the right position.

Hi Stefano,
gran detalle de las rocas y arena volcánicas. La composición es muy bella, con el gran efecto visual producido por esas diagonales del mar, de tan diversas tonalidades azuladas y que dan dinamismo a la imagen.
Salut, Jordi

Hello Stefano,
A very attractive composition with the distinct fields of various colours.
Regards,
Gert

ancora nuove strisce... e anche queste mi piacciono. Colori bellissimi, mi piace la successione verticale con la foto orizzontale. Forse mi disturba un po' la presenza umana, anche se è necessaria a dare le dimensioni giuste (ma è fondamentale comprendere le proporzioni?)
ciao, buona giornata
Carla

Hi Stefano!

I must say that I am really impressed of your "special eye" in photography. You really are on of the most "original" photographers in the whole TE. Fantastic framing and composition, perfect positioning of the people and excellent light managment. Congratulations!

Ciao, Hercules

Hello stefano. Lanzarote. Black sand of the volcano, waves with different blue colors, - and finally the pair. Very successfully composes. The beautiful photo pleases me very well. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hi Stefano,
Nice shot, very graphic.
Great lines. Very artistic interpretation of that beach.
Well done, congratulation.
Cheers from Hong Kong.

Brilliant idea, simple but different, the addition of sunbathers is definitely a plus, though the contrast is a little high, making the wave foams and the bodies appear overexposed.

Ciao Stefano,

un bel POV che hai trovato e una bella composizione a tre colori...
complimenti,
Christian

Ciao Stefano,
bellissima composizione, le diverse zone colorate sono spettacolari, l'inserimento delle persone l'arricchisce ma secondo me sono un pò troppo vicino al bordo.
ciao

I like this composition in beautiful ligth. Great work!! Regards. Carme.

Fantastica foto, per il pov e per come è stata fermata l'onda.
Ottimo lavoro.

Ciao Stefano,

mi ha impressionato molto questa spiaggia di Lanzarote, ne ho postato uno scatto tempo fa. Mi piace molto questa immagine, soprattutto la "pellicola" di acqua sul basgnasciuga tra la linea dell'onda e i bagnanti

Bravissimo!

Stefano,
print this photo! and print it on metallic paper. it will look gorgeous: someone will get a lovely present:).

Great catch of nature showing shades and forms and colors. The couple gives the right perspective and leaves some thought to "man and the world" or something like that. Very nice reflections, but maybe too much highlights in the white of the waves. Great shot though and good compo. Regards Jens
