Photographer’s Note
Third of my Beach Life serie. I wanted to put the stress on the contrast between youth and maturity, how people change with the time passing by. I hope you wont find the photo ofencive, sexist or bold. Cheers!

Bonjour ben
Cette photo n'est pas plus audacieuse qu'un voyeur sur la plage, le cadrage est sympa, les flous de profondeur donnent à la photo ce côté qui peut faire croire à un espionnage ou voyeurisme j'aime beaucoup très bonne idée instinctive!! ;)
Hello Ben
This photograph is not more daring than a Peeping Tom on the beach, framing is sympathetic, the blurs of depth give to the photograph this side which can make believe in an espionage or voyeurism I like very good instinctive idea much!! ;)

Ben very interesting contrast between the left and right...I love the pole cutting through the frame to emphasis the difference between the two women. Perhaps you should have taken two photos.. this one for the young men to enjoy and a second photo focusing on the chubbier woman in the distance...NOT.... good stuff!

Hi Ben,
Well, its the mission of TE to portray the world as it is, not as we would like it or pretend it to be. The contrast of images here is stark, but effective and not at all offensive. The POV is well chosen, and perhaps the tumbling of the foaming waves represents the constant change in life and passing of time in our lives. Superb lighting. A fine capture.

What a lovely contrast you are providing here! The woman of your dreams versus the one who she may turn into later.

Great shot Ben. Aside from the pretty girl, the photo's real attraction lies in the obvious contrast here, as you pointed out in your note. Good colour and light too. Well done!
Regards,
Ryno
