Donostia - Concha Photo

Photographer’s Note

San Sebastian, Pais vasco.
Second shot posted of my week end in the north..
One more time a picture of the famous Playa de la Concha, perhaps the most famous beach of the whole country. This beach, located in the Bahia de la Concha, is almost long 1400 mt.
In this picture I upgraded and balanced contrast, light and saturation.. and added frame..

Ciao Andrea,
This one is definitely one of the best in your gallery, has a perfect crop with geometric proportions well set. Half empty, half full with figures, the frame is divided into two, and i like this idea of division. I am not %100 sure about the vigneting result, it makes the photo look a bit dark, but this is your selection and i respect it. The parabolized shore and the wet part are just superb. Complimenti,
Deniz

Ciao Andrea, molto bella questa lunga veduta sulla larga spiaggia di S.Sbastian, con un contrasto molto forte che trasforma le persone sulla battigia come tante ombre.
buoan luce e buona qualità, ottimo il POV.

Hello Andrea! Now, this is definitely different. I like that you can acutally not recognize the people but just their shape and that you kept them pretty dark. I find the different layers of water very attractive and that bit of beach on both sides. Amazing capture, I really love it. Have a good evening, Barbara.

Hello Andrea,
Very nice composition. Silhouttes of the people and the contrast of the tide on the sands look very nice.
best wishes

The strong contrast has brought out the reflection on the wet sand and created mystical silhouette of the people on the beach is nice.

Hi Andrea,
I like the silouhettes of the people on this contrasted image. It looks quite surreal.

Hi Andrea,
I think your contrast adjustement worked out very well! A graphical beauty! Really good, with a lot of curves ! Almost abstract! Nice to see a beach this way...

Hola,
very nice beach, yes,...I know well this region. I like a lot your composition, i think is original and very estetic, giving a graphic composition with the different lays of waves. But I think that there is a little too much contrast light. I would prefer a soft light, because the white part of the wave is overexposed as a little the sand of the top of the picture. But it's just my opinion, in any way, I like a lot the composition.

Best regards,

Javier

Hi Andrea. Spectacular work with the curves, the incredible colours, contrasts and light. You have everything working for you here. And then there is the enigmatic shapes of all those human beings- individuals, family groups, friends, lovers. Very nice. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Andrea.

Very nice idea and composition. You have a similar picture, but I prefer this one.
THe composition is good, but for me here the exposure and the white balance is better.

Well done.
