[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken on Christmas Day, I think, at While Point Beach Resort on Nova Scotia's South Shore which some of you may be getting bored with. I just wanted to share this one (and possible a few others...) because I like how it shows that the place can be beautiful even when there is no snow or greenery and it just seems to be sitting between seasons. It truly is an amazing place. I have been off TE for awhile because I am having bunch of health problems and trying to get these settled away, but I have found coming back does relax me a bit so maybe I'll be a bit more active in the next little while.

Hello, Sarah,
I absolutely love the lighting in this. Those long shadows. The wonderful warm tones. The waves coming in. A beautiful curve in the coastline. I was happy to see you post this. You do great shots and do great critiques. Many thanks and best wishes for all things good,
Shelly

Hi Sarah
You have handled the light really well but yes the WS is better with more contrast and sharpness.
Well done.
Phil

Hi Sarah,
Long time no see.
No, I am not bored yet with these beautiful views of this wonderful place. The compo is very accomplished and you also chose very well the time of the day, when the tones of the winter sun already got those warm tones but the light is still enough to get a photo with plenty of details. I confess I didn't notice the lack of sharpness, so I guess it wasn't that grave, but I confirm that the WS is indeed much more achieved.
Regards, José.

Thank you for the review of my postings. I thought then I would look at some of yours. I like this one as it reminds me of the Oregon Coast and also urges me to visit Nova Scotia some day. Prof. Thomas

Sarah,
Beautiful light you captured here. Though very simple landscape but with your great composition, it evokes sense of relaxation and peacefulness. Sometimes, an image doesn’t need to contain major subject to be beautiful. Really good rich and soft color with good sharpness and clarity. Simply beautiful. Thanks

Sarah's Hello
When I see this picture I feel cold bracing wind, pinching in cheeks frost and I hear sea-gulls' shout. Splendid work.

Hello Sarah,
thanks for liking the market place post. It was taken using my Nokia N-70 phone. Glad you like it and I do admit the clarity is a bit poor.
As for your shot, it is wonderful to see a very clear foregorounf of pebbles and rocks. the sea background is great with pestel rendition.
Great composition.

Regards,
Foozi

Hi Sarah,

I was surprised not to see snow at this period of time, I imagine Nova Scotia very could and snowy at this period of the year. Pleasent picture with a very balaced composition and soft light making tender shadows over the path and the rocks. I hope you fell better and that you ll be able to be more active here.

Cheers,

Flavia
