Hi Kenan! Yes, why not? Very beautiful girls, they posed for you? Nicely off-centered composition with good background (although that wasn't the first thing I looked at...;-) Two points for each girl, for which I'll come back.

Gorgeous :)

A good shot for "humor" Theme as well. No more comments able to hurt some feelings ..

Well, that's exactly what I would expect to see on a beach in the Middle East... Excellent capture with an inspiring subject, good background and composition. Thanks for presenting a less known side of Oman.

nice composition and pleasant view.

Very nice Kenan, beautiful waves in the back that we must not forget :-), the girls pose looks natural, beautiful beach scene, nicely framed, well done.

wooow nice shoot sure and lovely girls keep the good work

Wow...! So are women allowed to wear bikinis in Oman beaches? I didn't know. That's great! Thanks for sharing and letting me know. Regards.

Wonderful, wonderful. (Claps) Nice frame.

Wowwww...beautiful gals...

NIce shot. Beautiful girls. I like the way the light touched thier bodies

I agree with most of the good things that have been said about this photo. I like how the girls are posing - not directly to your camera, but on angle.
But (damn), I have to say I'm bothered by the cut-off legs of the girl on the left. If you just had lowered the camera angle a bit, the result would have been superb.

Hi Kenan
Sorry, I didn't noticed your exotic shot until it was posted in the upfront page.
A well taken image with three beauties.
The background of the waves crashing ashore is well captured in a little slow speed that gives the softness effect.
Well done, Kenan.

Oh yes, just what the doctor ordered. Excellent exposure.

What more can you say........ very well done sir!

This is a beach for cool breeze. Great, I hear also the melody voice of the singers.

i have to say that i don't like this photo. there are a few reasons.

firstly, the frame is horrid. i think a more simple frame would be appropriate.

secondly, the focus is a little soft for my liking.

third, the girls' legs are cut off from the shot and by the shadows.

fourth, i'm not a big fan of 'posed' photos ... there's no doubting that they are cute though.

The frame is distracting. I suggest using no frame, or a blank frame which does not distract the eye.

As for the image itself...

Composition is good, but you have cut off the girl's foot, and the image seems out of focus.

Nice attempt.

While I enjoy the subject (beautiful women are a wonderful thing to see) I agree with some of the other postings, the picture seems a little unbalanaced. The shadows and the the feet being cut off are alittle distracting. Also it could be a little sharper of an image.
Over all good try, just try to pay more attention to framing the picture and not the frame you out on the picture
Greg

HOT!!!!!!!!!!!

WooooooooooW!!!!
But I am sure they are Russain, as they have one of the best dancers in the world. I heard that Rusisan Rock'n Roll dancers are using some tricks that are dangerous so they are not allowed to the Rock'n Roll competitions.

Hi, after haveing read the variety of comments on your photos it was intriguing to see that NO woman has made a comment maybe because the image makes you think of a semi naughty holiday resort postcard! it was interesting to read one comment regarding the fact that they were suprised that bikinis were allowed. Oman is a very tolerant country, though people will stare gawp(men especially) if you use one on a public beach(though that happens in most countries when the girls are slim and pretty.) there is so much more to oman than this photo... What is interesting about this photo is that you said it was taken of another persons models, thats an nice idea that indirectly we take images of things and people who are unaware of our image taking.

They looks even more beautyful here, on this composition, which - I think - is very good.
BUT: The frame is ugly and the Lower right part of this shot doesn't look good!

Cheers,
Pawel

Hot girls.. hot weather.. hot beach.. hot water.. awfull color on the frame! Nice comp!

PeCO

totally overrated shot with three girls in a dull and unsharp setting....

Dalgalar cok cekici olmus. Guzel bir manzara.

This picture is lovely and fresh. Those hot chicks and the waves of the sea made this picture powerful. However, it lacks of sharpness. Good work. Sothy

Merhaba kenan
Do you have any address of these nice and hot girls.??
:)

wow very nice

Very nice beaches!

Hi Kenan,

I have to agree with Lennart, I like everything about the image apart from the shadows above the ankles. When I first saw the thumbnail I thought they were wearing boots! A good effort though, well done.

Regards

Stephen

Bonjour Kenan,
très jolie photo . Que dire de plus si ce n'est que j'aurais placer les trois modèles à gauche , ce qui aurait pour avantage de les laisser "respirer" , leurs regards ne seraient pas sortants du cadre de la prise de vue .

çok sanatsal bir çalışma...tebrikler..

Not sure about this one. The frame is very badly chosen.. the pics lacks sharpness .. well.... what can i say.. the only good thing here are those girls...
it's sad that only this seems to have have given you all those points.
too bad it came to this.. but this is reality, and this is what sells...
It's just a very bad, bad picture and why am I even wasting my time commenting it. Who knows. It must have been the.... (censored):).

The wave is ok. otherwise, in any Russian or Ukrainian Black Sea resort there will be 10 times more girls like this per square meter

hi Kenan!

very real Oman girls, aren't they :)
I consider they from Russia

Thanks for sharing the photo. Interesting place and a nice wave capture in the middle.

On a personal note, I have been to few places while travelling have seen familiar scenes of entertainers who have no connection to the place they are at. Many of them are clueless of where to go in life and are short of descent opportunities back home. I found it pretty sad.
I am not a politician and neither an anti-globalization camper. But the possible story of these individuals reminds me of the possible dark side of globalization.

Again, thank you for sharing the photo and for allowing me to give my opinion.

Well,

A nice beach shot with for sure some nice girls, hehe! And that in Oman, wow, I didn't know that..so I can say, I've actually learned somethnig.
Well composed, the girls nice off center flanked by the sea on the left. Some high waves there.
Some things for improvement:
a) adding more sharpness, the photo is a bit soft
b) adding more contrast
c) don't use a purple and green border which distracts, if purple and green are not (or barely) present in the photo.

Further, well done.

hello kenan
tout est bien laisse tout comme cela perfect

Excellent shot Kenan, I bet you don't see this pleasant scene often in the Gulf Region!

This photo is teaches me something because I never would think women could wear bikinis in Oman. I would have thought this would have been a criminal act. I am actually glad to see Oman is not what I thought it was.

kenan sahil dakgalar bir ayrı güzel hele sahildekiler ayrı bir güzel

bu güzel kızların adresi varmı kenan. :)
sanki başka birilerine poz veriyorlardı sende bu anı fırsat bilip işini yaptın..:)) keşke baktıkları yeride göre bilsek..:))

Nice...waves ;)

All this praise for this picture. It teaches us one thing, when the subject is attractive the picture doesn't need to be good.

Very strange to see these women in Middle East..
I never believed till i saw ur pic...
Anyways, a good pic..

good composed shot :-)

a bad photograph - unsharp, a horrible frame and probably out of focus. the ladies are beautiful though. the best part is such high ratings !!

this frame just irritates my eyes. absolutely not necessary addition to an average shot, with good models, but nothing else extraordinary good. you should take care of focusing, it's pretty loose too

marko

très beau trio , le flou es bien présent , on ne doigt pas trembler quand on voie ces belles filles j'aurai fait la même chose ci non plus !!!! A+ jpphoto

This photo has caught loads of attention and points only for the hot girls... If u wanna see these kind of photos there are thousands of sites on the net, but for the standards of TE this is a crappy photo...bad composition, out of focus...nothing special! 73 points hahahaha... Bloody points system, it does not truly reflect if a photo is good or not

I'm sorry, this photo needs a lot of improvement. It's out of focus and unsharp and the frame is very distracting.

It's sad to see that this shot is a favorite of 7 people yet, and that it got points just because of these girls...

Thomas

C'est nul cette photo de fille sans rapport avec le site.

Very beautiful shot, I mean girls hehe :))

Congrads

whew how i wish i'm with them... i can teach these girls how to swim... for free!

Hello !

For a change in comments on TE, lets just forget appreciating POV, composition, light, colors....

But....Still, a 'picture-perfect' for all of us !
regds,
Prashant

nice shot... nice girls!! :D

The funny thing is, they arent even posing for you Kenan...bad snap shot..bet the photographer they are posing for got a better shot than this...i hope...
good looking they may be..but then they deserve a better shot than this.
Regards
Paul

Hi Kenan,
to be honest, this picture is far from being perfect, in fact it is far from being even good. The high rating is something I do not understand. It seems sometimes it is enough to show some fine female bodies dressed in swimsuit to gather much attention. Silly indeed.
You could have done better, but I believe your hands were shaking at the time :)

Oh, and one more thing - this frame is definitely the most disgusting thing I have ever seen on TE. You should be prosecuted for it...

On the other hand, your gallery shows that you really are capable of taking good, and even very good pictures. Maybe this was just not your day.

Best regards
Michal

Selam Kenan.Her şeyiyle harika kare,tebrikler.Hadi

Wow 30296 views for this dull shot!!
Great pull to this image in TE !!

Heh, that's TrekEarth! 84 points for bad picture. Sorry Kenan, it's not personal, hope you won't be offended. the thing is that unsharped and not well contrasted shot can't be treaten as good or superb. I see that some others also realise that.

I am frankly tired of seeing as featured ones, critiques relative to this image, which I consider absolutely disgusting as it has 84 points without having anything special, but on the contrary, it is unsharpened, it is tilted, and even the girls are not spectacular. I'm sorry but I cannot understand all the madness that a mediocre image like this one has originated.
