Snow and Sea Photo

Photographer’s Note

Early Spring in Antibes, Cote d'Azur, a sort of Summer for the central north Europe!
In the foreground the deep blue sea in front of the La Salisse Beach, a small bay between the Vieil Antibes and the Cap d'Antibes, then the view of the southern part of the Vieil Antibes, with the Safranier District on the extreme left side and the castle on the right side.
On the background the Nice conurbation and finally on the background the Alps, yet covered by some snow.

Out of the image, on the lower side a crowded beach, full of white pale guys taking the first sun of the year.
Too much white/pale skins...i've cropped out theme!

Un panorama a cui, fortunatamente, sono "abituato", assomiglia infatti alla vista che si ha dalle "mie parti" quando nelle giornate limpide di vedono le Alpi Carniche con le cime innevate fare da sfondo al mare Adriatico, a parte questo la foto è riuscitissima con un taglio che ne esalta la bellezza, complimenti!!

ciao,
Fabio.

Great view combining snow and sea, the pano format fits here well as it gives a feeling of vastness, the dominant blue is so refreshing.

Cheers
A.

Its really a blue planet, don´t you think Paolo? And you've captured it all here, with nice framing.

Ciao Paolo.
Ho una simpatia particolare per la Francia mediterranea, continentale e insulare, e questa foto tocca corde a me care.
In questa foto non conta la definizione, ma la composizione e il bel colpo d'occhio "mare e monti".
Ciao, Bobo.

Hi Paolo,
I like the snowy panorama of mountains in the background, just a pity for the sharpness and I can see some noise in this shot.
Regards

Paolo,
This is a very pleasant and refreshing image. I like the pano view, giving the impression of the vastness of the city. Great composition. Clarity and sharpness can improve a bit I think. Other than that really good job. I enjoyed it. Thanks.
Way

Hi Paolo Very nice sea view, with splendid blue impresses and the composition has a impressive point with the houses above in the rock. Good impressive work
