Photographer’s Note

One of the beaches around the city of Torrevieja on Spain's Costa Blanca.

Too busy for me but clearly lots of people enjoy the sense of community

You're good at showing crowds...
I don't feel like spending my time on this beach.

As for the shot itslef: good use of curve:
it seems that you made a picture of a half of a lake.
The second half is as crowded and surrounded with buildings. Rrrr! Feels claustrophobic :)

Hi David,
I like you question :) I would not like to be there indeed despite of coming winter :)
Nice daily life picture. Good composition and colours.
TFS,
Oleg

Hi David,
This is crowded indeed! And your title is well found, remindingthe Pink Floyd song, but in an interrogative way... my personnal reply is... NO! it is too much for me! But the scene is ell caught from a good POV. Good overall quality.
Regards
Laurent

Hello David,
Great place for holiday but too busy for me. I really like this graphical effect with colorful umbrellas. Very good composition and light. Well done my friend!
Regards,
Darek

Good capture, thanks for sharing. You captured well the suggestion of crowds (that wasn't difficult - looks crazy), but in a very creative way. A higher angle would have been more conducive for the eye - although the very single woman without umbrella above caught my eye :) - and exactly because is summer, I would have saturated a bit, to emphasize the umbrellas. love the photo !
