Photographer’s Note
Back in town, back to the office, back to the pollution, the traffic jam, the humid weather of Milan, back to the normal daily life...40 days of vacation in a moment...
A normal case of depression at work...

Hello Paolo
I know what you are feeling, just came back myself, although I was looking forward to being back in civilization.
Very original photo, looks like a copertone commercial, very nice colours and contrast regards

Bonjourno Paolo
Good colour & sharpness, but there is some oe on the shoulder. Please be aware when uploading this type of perfectly innocent image, that the vast majority of people viewing it, would not be aroused in any way, but unfortunately, there is a very small minority of mentally ill people who would. I like the simple composition.

Saludi e trigu Paolo,
Welcome back my friend, hope you fully used these 40 days to fully enjoy tutta la bellezza sarda, I'm counting the seconds now, friday nihgt I'll be in Livorno again :-)
This is for sure a fun photo that you framed well, I also like the fact it is an interesting variation on the popular children theme for I don't remember having seen such one before.
Now tell me the brutal truth, how many Kgs did you add to your personal record ???
;-))
I can imagine you don't feel so well today back to reality, hope we your TE friends will ease this a bit !
Buona giornata,
Jean-Yves

Hi Paolo
Your note makes me smile. The post depression era of holidays is funny when it is shared.
I like this little boy in front of the sea, the hair in the wind. That calls back me too how much the méditerranée misses me.
Beautiful colours and appropriate compo.

Hi Paolo
Lucky you 40 days holiday in I guess constant warm weather.
Too cute ! The framing is excellent with the kid well placed to the right and his shadow. I like the transparency of the water in the foreground and how it changes colour.
Regards

Welcome back after 40 day happy holiday, I'm very glad your see again.
What a funny picture, excellent image with this small boy, without that he can see the photographer, superb, maybe one once in the year you can take this wonderful image!
Very well done!
Tanks for sharing,

Magnificent. A simple image that really depicts the summer. Just the necessary details -- a "zen" shot. Molto bella!

Ciao Paolo e bentornato, anche se so che avresti preferito tenerti ancora per un bel po´ lontano dal PC. Immagine carina e molto bella, degna della conclusione delle vacanze. Non so cosa stia facendo l'ometto, ma si potrebbe interpretarlo come: e pi......ci sopra sto mare limpido, si torna a casa finalmente!
Stammi bene e buon risveglio dal mondo dei sogni!
Ciao.

Hi Paolo,
You forgot to add "...and back to TE." (Your one consolation.) I like the clarity of detail here, the simplicity of the scene. A little boy as natural as he will ever look surrounded by the beauty of the sea. The textures and hues of the beach and ocean are most alluring. But then again I very much wish to visit Milan...Have a good week.

Paolo,
Welcome back.
I think you should have had a fantastic time...
Your shot here is a kind of starting note in grandeur!...
The timing, placing & the light are all fantastic.
Cheers,
Prem.

Nice title that goes very well with the end of summer and he express himself very well saying goodbye to the sea. Nicely captured with great colors, sharpness and POV.
Well done Paolo.

Well well well,
welcome back Paolo, you were missed. Had a nice vacation? Such a simple shot but so powerful because it takes us back to those days of our childhood when we ran around naked and peed in the sea:) As usual you give us great colors and well composed image. Where was your holiday anyway?

Brilliant lighting, brilliant positioning, a superb and delightful shot. I love the tonal variations in the water. I also enjoyed the Bush-isms on your intro page. No one could write that stuff deliberately, therefore Bush is a genius and an idiot at the same time.
Anyway, great photo.
Regards,
Andrew

Great shot Paolo, I love the innocence and care free attitude of kids running in the nud at the beach, its something that I'll never be able to do again I don't think. Great composition here and the blue of the water looks good.
