hello Alexandre, I remember similar scenes from Egypt, with the people snorkeling on the coral reef. Nice picture. Were the fish colourful?

Happy New Year

Hello Alexandre,
A simple composition, but one that is both attractive and effective. You have made the most of the strong graphical lines offered by the reef and the scuba divers exploring it. Agreeable lights and colours and very good clarity complete a fine presentation.

Hello Alexandre,
It's amazing to see people swimming in what looks like a light blue "road" surrounded by the darker water on the coral reef. It's a fantastic and beautiful natural wonder. The upper part of the photo is also attractive with all these nicely shaped clouds.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hola Alexandre.
Una imagen ideal, con ese mar de varios tonos de color, la gente disfrutando del agua, da un buen toque vital y un poco de envidia, pues aqui estamos con frio y nieblas. Ideal cielo que añade encanto a la imagen.
Muy bonito colorido, que junto con buena nitidez y óptima iluminación, da gran atractivo a la imagen.
Ten un buen dia y un feliz 2017.
Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.

Hello Alexandro,

I can't believe that you have managed to have such an effective diagonal in the sea!
The diagonal leads from the bottom corner, to link with the horizon, and is containing all the swimmers.

You have captured and conveyed the happy social mood well

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

rychem (72187) 2017-01-05 8:38

I can imagine this warm and shallow water, what a fun, beautiful color of the water and nice sky with cotton couds

Hello Alexandre,
Great view of the vast sea with a lot of different patterns created by the waves on what seems like a rather calm day. The heads of the many people in the water look very nice too and they make a nice diagonal in the foreground. The shapes of the clouds add interest to the background too.

Hi Alexandre,

This remote island lagoon looks like an idyllic place for snorkelers and swimmers. Good color and sharpness and the people frolicking in the water add context and scale. Tfs!

abmdsudi (95869) 2017-01-06 20:00

Hi Alex
Wonderful to see this type of image in such great light, I think this hits like a steam roller! It's so good, it has it all, foreground interest, colour, sky and most important for me, the people. Amazing saturated colours and good angle this was taken from. For me the textured water is the best bit of this picture. Wonderful shot and thks for sharing, Congrats.
Best wishes
