Hi Gert,
Nice photo. I guess they are also listening to the sodade (Saudade).

Hi Gert,
This is a good composition with the parallel lines of the bench, the wall and the waves and the crossing lines of the stick and the arms of the ladies.
Regards
Gunnar

This photo deserves certainly more smilies, I like the atmosphere and the way those women seem to be waiting, near the ocean in those remote islands...
Bravo,
Cath

Wow you have visited some interesting places. Nice blue colour on the bench matches well the blue of the ocean. Well done!

Hello Gert,

You're capturing well this scene by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's impressive to see in which two ladies are asking the sea for healing. I don't know whether it's a sound of wave, wide sea or the cliff. It tastes and is deep although it is a common scene of everyday life.

Kind regards,
