[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Quite a warm sunny day yesterday, so I went to the beach in the afternoon.

People there were enjoying the elements... and then the big black bird came, very close to me, just above the horizon line.

For the main post, I hesitated between this, the original color version, and the converted B&W version, which has a different feeling, an ominous, "Hitchcock" effect.

I've included it in the Workshop, I would have actually posted separately, but the "Terms of Service" do not allow me to do so.

Bonjour Daniel
Cliché intéressant qui sent les vacances avec tous ces gens qui prennent le soleil sur des sièges qui ajoutent de la couleur à l'image et cet oiseau qui plane sans attirer le regard du chien.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.
Nicole

Hi daniel

Wonderful repetition, of the angled yellow deck chairs, along the beach, which contrast nicely against the blue sky. The bird is a good addition, that provides a surreal touch. Tfs!

Hi Daniel.
the crow does not seemk to have a lot of interest in the sunbading crowd and vice cersa. Your the observer bringing them together.
Regards, Gerrit

hello Daniel,

you make things difficult for us :D difficult to choose : the color is great because of it's light and the b&w is indeed more like a moviescene ... as long as it's not my bird that flew away to come here to attack the people ;DD
great compo, very strong, you clicked at the perfect moment !
greetings, inn

this is one of my favorite places to sit at when I'm in Tel-Aviv. Thanks for the memories! I like the size of the bird and how the scale of it makes the people look smaller.
Smechah sheh haya cham!

Hi Daniel,

A nice of image of the people enjoying the beach and the sea. The presence of the bird does not seem to disturb the people. The point of view is giving depth to the photo. It is clear and precise. The picture is receiving a good luminosity which brings out the colors. Have a nice day.

haha...

really enjoyable....

Hi Daniel
You got this combination of motifs just great - the bird or the beach alone wouldn't have done it.
The people dosen't seem to be scared yet - but perhaps they should be.
