Hello Tony!
This is so nice-looking!
Sharpness is excellent! Exposure is perfect! Colors are so natural and beautiful! The viewpoint was outstandingly chosen and the composition is awesome! The sky and those cliffs on the background look both wonderful - great depth of field! But the foreground this time is the true highlight in this image, with the vegetation, the breaking waves and the dog that were put together so superbly! Pleasant! Inviting! A very good one! TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

belido (16899) 2009-02-26 8:29

Longroute (9875) 2009-02-26 8:33

Hello tony!

wonderful idea to take the dog (perhaps is your dog?), it constitutes a fine focal point which complements an enriches this fine long beach. Very gay atmosphere and a soothing light.
I like the distribution of the space: well balanced.
Best greetings,
Donato

Gerrit (36313) 2009-02-26 8:39

Hi Tony,

vmf-214 (1624) 2009-02-26 8:48

Hi Tony,

This low level is a great POV and like the dog who's also enjoying a great view. Nice details with the blue sea meeting the blue sky. Wonderful wave action hitting the beach and nice green vegetation on the hill and in the foreground. Great hob Tony.

Cheers
Jason.

Hi Tony!
I write,because I realy like this image.
There is no need to reply or give points in return.
I do the same ,when I recieve critiques and points.
Some moderators may think this is a petimage and delete it.
I hope not,because I like the composition with the dog.Could be me straing at the sea for hours.I did so in India.
Great depth and a nice view at these rocks at the horizon.
Regards,leo

ElAprendiz (7370) 2009-04-14 9:48

My dear friend Tony:

A beautiful composition, without a doubt.

The landscape within the depth of field is wonderful, by its coastal tones and elements. The mascot is a great complement, and its espectante position towards a determined point, has been caught by your lens of a very opportune way.

Greetings from Colombia, John
