[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Photo was taken on Abu Dhabi Waves Breaker, another angel of a previous shot, the sun was almost on top so you can see the blue water reflection on the buildings as well. the temperature was 37 (too hot) with 50% humidity.

Most of the days here are not great for landscape photography as the heat generates blur with the sand storms and dusty weather, on top of that comes pollution, and this situation continues for 8 months of summer a year and then 4 months semi-winter.

Hi Sam,

Amazing landscape.. i like the turquoise color of the beach water.. and I remember those boats..from your previous photographs..

Did you use polarizer or filter.. i see the blue shade on the top left corner..

Hello Sam,
The sparkling turquoise water and white sand on the empty, very clean beach look inviting. Your POV and composition are excellent. It's just beautiful.
Warm wishes,
Betty

Hi Sam,
I like the contrast between the green with the wooden boats and the regiment of skyscrapers. The beach and calm and nice blue sea attract to swimming (if it wasnīt that hot).
Thereīs some vignetting that could have been corrected, but itīs not a major issue.
Nice colors and very nice composition.
Best regards,
Adrian

Hey Sam,

A beautiful shot of the beach, with many interesting elements, fine colors and sharpness. I personally can`t stand greater temperatures either, at least for long periods.

Best regards.
