[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Southwold is famous for its extortionately priced beach huts. It is a north Suffolk seaside town on the Suffolk Heritage Coast. Almost an island, being bounded by the North Sea to the East, by the River Blyth and Southwold harbour to the South-West and by Buss Creek to the North, there is just the one road in and out of Southwold.

The town offers much of interest, but it is the sea and Southwold's links with it that make this a wonderful destination at any time of the year. With its working lighthouse, beach huts, award-winning pier, busy harbour, cliff top cannons and of course the beach, Southwold is a quintessentially English resort town.

Hello Mark,

Strong repetition effect!
The vivid colours are really eye-catching, and the sharp fine details add attraction value...
A dynamic composition where the strong diagonal leads my view!

Bonsoir Mark,

Heureux de te revoir après cette petite absence... Une photo qui nous rappelle que les vacances approchent pour certains. Ces cabines offrent un bon impact de couleur dans la photo, j'aime beaucoup et ton point de vue donne une belle profondeur à l'image. Un bon coup d'oeil, bien vu Mark.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et un très bon WE,

Jean-Charles

Hello Mark,
This photograph is quite made up, the colors are beautiful and the result gives an amusing photograph : in their alignment these cabins of beaches seem lost.

Bon Week End
Marc

Hi Mark,

Quite atmospheric and quaint, great for a postcard!

Hi Mark,
good empty view on these colourful cabins in graet light.
Regards, Gerrit

Bonsoir, Mark,
Ces cabines de bain de toutes les couleurs ressortent à merveille sur le sable et ce ciel bleu griffé de quelques petits nuages.
La diagonale valorise parfaitement le sujet.
Très bien vu et très bien réalisé.
Amitiés.

Hi, Mark. These beach huts make a nicely coloured diagonal line in the image. They stand well out against both the sky and the sand. A good composition with well-saturated colours.
Have a nice day,
Philippe

Hi Mark,
Been a long time since i saw you here, busy with work i'll guess?
But your new entry here looks pretty good in perspective but most of all in colour, clairty, brightness and sharpening, really good here.....you deserve at least a D3..!!!
Have a great weekend, Henk

Hi Mark,
unusual palette of colours, fine row of bungalows. I like the perspective, too. Good work.
Gr., Aleksander

Bonjour Mark,

Un magnifique effet de répétitions rythmé par les couleurs qui ressortent magnifiquement bien dans le ciel bleu. Une belle présentation en diagonale, une netteté parfaite, de beau contrastes. Bref, une superbe photo.

Hello Mark
Une image très coloré et une belle utilisation de la perspective pour donner une belle profondeur à cette photo.
Un très sympa avant goût des vacances.
très beau travail!!

Hello Mark,
I like much the graphism and the great chromatic effect of these huts of rich colors, and its good perspective on this landscape of the beach.
You have made a good framing to catch the whole beauty and the graphical interest of these elements, under a great light.
Excellent work.
Best regards,
Josep

parfaite exposition, belle composition, la qualité est très appréciable, joli

Bonjour Mark, La lumière latérale met ces huttes bien en valeur et donne du relief,
j'aime particulièrement la façon dont tu as cadré, c’est subtil, car le bleu intense dirige notre regard vers le fond, ensuite on aperçoit le bleu intense et part déduction l’on devine sans la voir, qu’il y à la derrière une plage, la mer, les vacances quoi, bien amicalement

Hi Mark,

That are nicely colourful beach huts! Sounds like a nice place for a beach walk, one of those ten sunny days a year in the UK ;-). But no renting of extortionately price beach huts it is ;-).

Greetings!
Dennis

Hi Mark
What a cheerful and charming row of colour. Especially after a truly rainy Sunday here. The colours really sing out and the recession of the huts gives a nice perspective. Great work!
Susanna

Hi Mark
This photo reminds me of one of the beaches in Melbourne. I wonder which huts are older.
As usual, you've attracted some beautiful sunshine, something which is really lacking here at the moment if you've watched some of the football. The colours are nicely saturated.
Regards
Nikki

Hi Mark,
glad to see you posting again, I missed your great shots. This one is really a great one, the depth of field and this great color contrast! What should I say, it definetly looks great. The quality is as usual superb, thanks for sharing!

Take care
Mark

Bonjour Mark

Hey Mark,

I like the way the beach huts are arranged, the layout just makes the entire scene works beautifully. Colours like these you can't go wrong with strong contrast with primaries like the tiny single red and yellow hut!

Cheers!

Hello Mark,

Beach huts without peoples, this on Juny 8, and a very attractive blue sky, almost incredible.
The different colours of the huts make this picture very nice, also the perspective line.
Very well done.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hi Mark!

Fantastic place, excellent photo! Extraordinary, beautiful, sweet little ol huts! Great composition, great diagonal perspective and absolutely stunning colour pallete! Congratulations!

Hercules

Hi Mark,

The diagonal line made by the beach huts is an asset to the composition. There is a good contrast between the different tints of colors. The point of view is allowing to see the details and colors of the beach huts with precision. The subject is nicely frame. Have a nice day.
