Polynesian Lounge Photo

Photographer’s Note

Pearl Beach Resort, Bora Bora, French Polynesia

Waking early on my first day in Bora Bora, I noticed the sky was a surreal shade of pink and blue. This is one of the resort hot tubs and a perfect place to watch the sunrise.

PP: Image rotated 0.5 degrees left, cropped, clone tool to clean up sky and trash on deck, removed color cast, increased green in midtones, decreased brightness slightly, neat image.

(Sorry if there are still scratches in sky- can't get them cloned out.)

Paradise on earth! i'm imaging myself here, in the hot tup with a glass of fine oporto red wine.... hummm :)

Great photo, i'm wonder how's the original look like though.

Your photo and framing are amazing! Very good lines and colours. I only wish I could be there! I think that pp made the sky seeming unnatural. I am sure the original is better. Good work!

Linda foto, adorei a composição, as cores, tudo perfeito, um lugar paradisiaco. Quem não gostaria de estar sentado neste banco agora?

hi Cheryl
this is a very beautiful scene. Must be nice being there, relaxing on that chair, and capturing beautiful image like this one.

Wow, this photo makes me jealous. Think a mid winter trip to Bora Bora is in order. Love the tones in the sky.

Very nice composition and interesting intention of the image - this empty armchairs in the shadow are so meaningful... Silent witnesses of mystery of the nature.

Hello Cheryl,

Great place and beautifull South Pacific sunset. The colours of sky and water fit perfectly. Very well done.
