This is a pic I had a hard time proccess from the thumbnail. But I'm really glad I opened it. Great original composition: A fraction of an everyday scene. A bit of a diagonal created by the foam. But most of all: Fantastic light! Very well spotted and executed!

Best,
Mikkel

Olá Gilad,

Parabéns e obrigado por compartilhar !

Hello Gilad! Nice creative shot here! Good eye in seeing the potential in the cropped scene before you. Showing just the legs of the girl definitely creates some mystery for us.

Nice work!

An unusual shot that works quite well. The dark, blurred reflections in the golden sand forms a most captivating background pattern.
And, of course, there is that pair of smooth ladies legs in one corner, and white foamy stuff thrusting towards her from the opposite corner. Easy to decipher, no? Or is it just my 70'es public school training in analysis of advertising imagery in a late-capitalist society (i.e. exploitation of women) that is rearing its neck?
Well, the photo looks good anyway, the touch of dirty old man is just a hint, it doesn't overpower the composition, just a little spice.

So, I just finished reading over that I just wrote, and in a way it may sound arrogant, please don't take it in a wrong way. I tend to write what crosses my mind when looking at a photo. But that doesn't mean that I dislike you photo, I actually like it, it just fired of certain associations in my head and I felt that it would be most honest to write about those in my critique..

Beautiful image. Wonderfully composed. And the color and texture and geometry captured is only made that much more striking with the human element that you so artfully found a place for.

Hello Gilad, a very original and bold frame.... enchants to me. The colors of the reflections are unique and the detail of the legs of the woman gives the grace point him to the composition.

Many congratulations.

A greeting.

Great shot Gilad!
A true textbook lesson in eyecatching composition, and great subject to work with too. Colours, DOF, sharpness - all superb.
Fantastic work

So sensual! And oh, the red nail varnish. Can't think of any faults.

Je viens de noté celle a Jinju et je pourrais presque faire un copié collé de ma note...
Cadrage exceptionnel, idée original, et esthétiquement très fort
Bravo

I feel this water on my legs and I like this feeling.
I also like painting nails red. Maybe here are my legs;) No..I never had been in Israel. What a pity!

I didn't find this one before, and perhaps it's one of best photographs I have seen on TE since I begin to use.
Two points trying to keep the watch, legs and water, clear, sharp and a nice colours and light.
Very well done and interesting one.
