Tempted

[Tom Dunne]

Now for a real holiday shot.
Taken on the long end of the 50-200.

 

[Pete Askew]

You've got some blue stuff in your Cafenol Tom!

What a brilliant composition and colours. Love the limited palette with the umbrella matching the sea. That wave is just right too.

 

[Brian Moore]

Nice one, Tom. The apparent isolation is quite wonderful. And the woman in the surf adds so much interest.

 

[Nick Lukey]

Lovely rich colours the figure in the surf adds to the comp and provided some scale, not sure the umbrella does. Can't make my mind up.

 

[Dave Farnes]

Very good, as others have said, has a feel of great scale.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Excellent Tom, some great patterns and colours. Like this a lot.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Thanks so much lads for your comments.

 

[Douglas McMann]

What a huge scene Tom, you really have nailed it in my opinion....and I think the "brolly" and windbreak area make the image...take it out and it loses something...

 

[Tom Dunne]

Many thanks Douglas. I saw the inclusion of the brolly and windbreaker as a little sanctuary from the hugeness of the ocean.

 

[Rense Haveman]

Excellent capture! The emptiness.....

 

[Beth Carter]

great comp., i like all of the negative space and the strong diagonal line made between the ocean and beach. excellent work!

 

[Tom Dunne]

Beth and Rense; thank you both very much.
