Service at Sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

One thing I loved about Velas Vallarta was the overhead unbrellas for shade. They were all around the pool where guests could order food and sit under all day till sunset. Here you can see a server under the unbrella. There are guests on the left and on the bottom right you will see little odd shapes sticking up. These are the grass roof tops that are on the beach. Zoom lens tend to bring distant things closer. OF course the sun is behind the unbrellas which is a favourite habit of mine. Enjoy.

Gorgeous image Paul! The silhouette is wonderful, and I'm glad you explained the shapes on the right (I was wondering!). Nice capture of a wonderful day on the beach.

Hi Paul. You just keep one-upping yourself with these sunset shots. I can honestly say I've never seen a sunset quite like this. This shot alone was worth the entire trip! It's really something with everybody's head at a different angle and posture. Awesome shot Paul!

Hi Paul, A beautiful golden color picture. I like the silhouette view of the people under the umbrella. At the first glance, I though that the noses on the top of the straw roof top are some people’s heads. Then, I see them carefully to realize that those are there semi-permanent. A very interesting view. A nice looking picture.
