Seaview II Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is meant as a pendant to yesterday's posting of houses with seaview. It occured to me that there many different ways of lodging with a view over the ocean. Some are architecturally more pleasing than others, But it is interesting to point the camera away from the sea for a change and towards the reality of a great part of the Mediterranean coastline.

Resized using the Lanzos filter in IrfanView. I had trouble avoiding stairstepping when resizing.

Hejsa Per!
Hmm, bagsiden af medaljen. But somehow it still spells summer to me, and when you know what the inhabitants see when they draw the curtains in the morning I would probably live there aswell! Funny idea;o)

Nice sunny picture with bright colours. It could be a postcard or borchure, but it's maybe to orginal for that, because of the dynamic and unusual lines.

Very good POV! Very good colours and composition. Very well done!

You must visit also Portugal. I live near Oporto at 18 km South and you can shoot good SEA photos and FISH, and also a Oporto wine.

Alicante is good and this shot capture is also nice, but here you have also "SEA BASS", "SARDINES", "FRUITS DE MER", "SURFING", and all the details cropped or uncropped to have a nice holidays for a weekend or a few of days.

This are comments but also a signicant way to tell you that your job is also good, and so my friendly observation.

Well done and a little of "Surfiii..iing".

Beautiful beaches bordered by ugly buildings, what a conundrum. So as long as you are inside looking out it is a good thing, but wow, that is not very attractive as a building. I like your use of perspective to make one feel like the building is rising up and over top of the viewer!

Well composed, I mean the lamp and the building.
Sun is there, colors and perspective. This is realy according to this architecture a popular place for holidays. TU for the reality.

Hi Per. Good work with the offbeat framing on this one, keeping the lamppost vertical and having the housing complex in more of a leaning position. It ain't exactly pretty, but it sure affords a good repetitive and graphical component for your photo. Good shot.

A special view - I like the way that mountain top seems to be a part of the building - Yes its seems that the seaview a "need" for people around the world - same here as well. Thanks Per - never heard about Lanzos filter or IrfanView - may some to try out.
