Playa Espadilla Sur, a photo from Puntarenas, West

Photographer's Note

Playa Espadilla Sur is another beach side by side with Manuel Antonio Beach I presented earlier. They never get too crowded there as the number of visitors to Manuel Antonio Nature Reserve & Wildlife Refuge is limited.

Hello Kari,

This looks to be a most idyllic place to spend a holiday, especially if, as you say, the numbers of visitors to this reserve is limited - so I presume it will never be allowed to become overcrowded.

And I 'm pleased too that you enclosed a map - even from that this beach looks wonderful, densely surrounded by thick forest.

A very fine photograph with lovely light and colours and exceptional detail and sharpness.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hello Kari,
A very nice view of the beach in a pleasant sunlight and with the dense forest running up to the sand as a fine backdrop. The woman enjoying the beautiful day is well included as well.

Hello Kari, Nice view of this idyllic beach, just the nature, without big hotels or umbrellas. I prefer such places. The woman found a nice place in the shadow. But what is she doing? Looking at her mobile? In such a place?

Have a nice weekend

Hello Kari,
This looks like a perfect beach during a pandemic. No problem of keeping a safe distance to others. I actually prefer pandemic beaches any time. The dry tree is a nice feature which also provides some shade in case the lady would feel a need to get out of the sun.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Kari,

This is the sort of beach that I like, away from the lines of sun-beds and umbrellas.
The land and the sea meet naturally.

Your photograph reveals the natural beauty of this beach, where there is a calm atmosphere.
The sunbathing lady and the elongated tree branch seem to fit together as well balanced focal features.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Kari
I like this view not just because of the sun bathing woman, but because of the strange looking tree that's kinda scary but not during the daytime hours. its great to see the branches reaching out across the frame, that's my fav part. good one
cheers
Craig

Hello Kari,
I've always had a soft spot for beaches with dead branches or stumps.
They give me a feeling of pureness and being unspoiled.
Wonderful how the lush vegetation reaches the beach.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Kari,
very well spotted beach scene.
Such low hanging trees are very photogenic and the lady enjoying the sun bath adds some life and interest.
Great light and resulting colors,
Excellent work,
