Hello Gunnar,
All alone except for the photographer ;-) An interesting layered effect adds to the composition, which is otherwise rather minimalistic. Thanks for sharing this rather humorous image.

Hej Gunnar,
A fine composition according to the rule of four: Sky, building, water and beach. Maybe not the nicest place to get a sun-tan, but probably efficient. The nicely curved tracks from a car provide a little aesthetical bonus.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Hello Gunnar,
I wonder how long it takes to get suntanned there? :) and how hot it was when you took this photo...
Very good perspective view! Good colours and composition!
But the man really looks lonely..... anyway, I guess, he's enjoying this solitude :) I wish I could find myself there, instead of him... to get some rest AWAY from crowds of people!
warm greetings from Moscow,
Elena

Hallo Gunnar!
Yes, that's it!!! I like the composition here in several "layers" of colours. This lucky man is the real main character in your photo. Enviable ... really enviable!
Greetings from wet and cool southern Westphalia!

Hi Gunnar,

I like the sort of grainy real photo feel. I suppose the man is looking at the Pelican in the water. I also like the hard beach light. I wish I had the time to be at the beach (albeit in the shadows)

Hej Gunnar,
It s good to be alone some times. I like your composition with the pier in the back and the empty beach. The question is if it is warm weather or not...

Hej Gunnar,
Bra komposition med dessa lager av färger på varandra. Satt han verkligen helt ensam på den här stranden eller finns alla andra precis utanför bilden?
Hälsningar
