CC: To me this seems like two pictures - the top half is a great cityscape/ mountains behind etc, and the bottom half is a colourful, crowded beach scene - lots of life and people and great colours, contrasts and the sea. I'm left a bit confused as to which bit is really the focus of the picture - the mountain is solid and stately, very statically placed bang in the center of the frame, and there is this busy riot of people below - I feel it somehow needs to be linked together, either by similar shapes, or positions of pieces to join these two, maybe with the shapes of the umbrellas mirroring the mountains ?
I get the feeling people might rate this down having so many people in it, but i like it. The background is great, with nice rolling hills and great rock formations, compared to the very angular buildings. Great shot. 9
Yeah, this is what summers all about. Lovely colourful image! This would look great as a BW/colour mix. Take a look at my BW/colour mix album at www.picturetrail.com/freezethemoment to see what I did with a shot I took of a crowded harbour in Cornwall.
Very pretty. Nice combination of landscape, city scape and people. I just realized that the beach extends across the whole picture is is full up crowded the entire length! Wow, that's alot of people on the beach! Nice puffy clouds! Good color. 8 Swash
This is a wonderfull scene, which lives from it's stepwise buildup: the beach in the front, the ocean, the houses behind it and then the wonderfull hills and mountains.
Also that everything is alligned and oriented to the the left side is great. You might have moved closer to the colored sunshades though, making them an surface on which the rest of the scene (ocean, houses, mountain) are rested. Would have been a better choice as the white tent in the front. Sharpness and colors are great. I hope you were able to swim a little. Good luck with this.
I love the atmosphere here and the backdrop is fantastic. Is that a cable car on that mountain? Surpurb colours and it looks like a perfect day for the beach. Composition is great as well as the surrounding area. GL
Great contrast of colour (foreground) and scenary (background). Your focus, exposure and framing is also very good. I think the shot would have been boring if taken from the shoreline (ie: no people in the foreground) - good decision.
Too busy in the foreground for my tastes. The backdrop is stunning though, especially with the peak jutting out of the hills towering over the building. Good perspective there. Overall not a bad pic but too busy with the beach patrons - Inspzil
