[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was taken in the southern part of Lanzarote, Canary Islands, a volcanic region where the beaches are made out of black sand.
In this area ancient volcanic eruptions have covered the land by a thick layer of lava.

Very nice composition!

I love the blue and white water washing up on the black sand; it creates a very graphic looking shot. The tan skin of the beach goers stands out well and complements the deep blue water. Cool shot.

Hi Marcellini,

Beautiful highlight of blue with black and composition also very good.

Senthil

Nice choice of vertical frame
Good contrasting colors.
Only if the sharpness was a bit more...

Bellissimo gioco di colori delle onde che dopo il bianco, ritornano ad essere azzurre come il cielo! Perfetto il contrasto con il nero della sabbia.
Complimenti!
Carlo

Hello stefano
the contrast of colours is very good. The see is well bluie coloured with good saturation and light. Very unusual this black sand.
Best regards

Ciao Stefano,
un contrasto stupendo :) bastano tre colori per farla perfetta..
Ciao Christian

Hi Stefano,
Absolute great composition in vertical format. The blue from the water and the white edges on the beach from the waves create a beautiful contrast against the black beach.
Even without the people it would be good, but adding them in the frame it really lifts this picture more to a higher level...very good work.
Regards, Henk

very nice colour composition.

Hi Stefano.

Molto bella composizione dove il contrasto è molto interessante.

Grazie.

Mi piace il numero ridotto di colori: bianco, nero, blu...
Bel grafismo, tratto da un luogo sicuramente stimolante.
Un saluto
Renzo

Hi, Stefano
A very impressive portfolio you have. This shot is especially attractive due to the strong color contrast, the graphical element provided by the water line and the way people are perfectly placed in the image.

Ciao Stefano,
Mi piaciono i colori cosi intensi. Una immagine molto energetica con forti contrasti.
Auguri,
Mirari.

Ciao Stefano,
Molto bella anche questa! Il punto di vista et la prospettiva sono eccellenti! Bravo, Léonie

Great contrast, composition, unusual point of view.

Fantastico contrasto tra i toni chiari e blu dell'acqua e questa sabbia nera, da riempirci la memoria della macchina fotografica... ottima anche l'inclusione delle persone, bravo Stefano, complimenti.
Ciao
Vinicio

Stefano bonjour.

Ce sable noir fait beaucoup pour la beauté de la photo, il fait ressortir le bleu de la mer et le blanc de son écume ainsi que les silhouettes des baigneurs. Une très belle photo.
