Flickers and Dances Photo

Photographer’s Note

I stayed in Taketomi-jima(Taketomi Island), a pretty small island near Ishigaki-jima. People who stay there usually look forward to seeing the beautiful sunset. And on that day we were waiting for the sunset by the beach. No clouds... Then the sun was going back to the behind of big island beyond the sea. People seemed to feel something great from the beauty of the big sun. And I realized keenly that the day of today was made up of the continuation of the pretty and precious moments.
This photo shows just a piece of the beautiful world, I think.
Such a thing fascinates me anytime.

Great abstract.

I can't remember the last time I managed to do this, just look at a sunset. This picture reminded me I am missing something, so I'll try to do something about it and book a good holiday. Thanks!

Your note provoked a lot of thought too. I must have been too busy to really live! Big mistake!

Konnichiwa Noriko-san!

A beautiful abstract image. It is not the usual sunset or sunrise photo, as you have focussed your attention on the water rather than the sky. That has been a cool and interesting choice.

Lovely colours. Nice effect made by the sun on the water.

Good composition, and well framed. Having the sun's reflection not center frame is a good idea. Well done!

I like your stylish signature in the corner, too. It fits the image quite well.

Thanks for sharing!

Gambatte!

Richard
