Deserted Beach, a photo from Cebu, Central Visayas

Photographer's Note

This is a scene from the eastern part of Bantayan Island. This part of the island is frequently visited by tourist because the main resorts are situated in the northwestern part.

Hi Renier,
Lovely vertical presentation of this beautiful tropical beach. The rocks, palms and glistening ocean all lead gracefully to the brilliant blue sky to create great depth and soothing peace to this fine image.
Regards, Tom

Hi Renier,
a lovely composition with wonderful scenery.
The POV is very nice seeing those palm trees from top shows them in a different perspective.
Great colors and wonderful division of space.

Hello Renier
Deep perspective created by the shoreline & the row of the palm trees, lining the shore. This is perfect in vertical framing with a part of the sea on the left. Fine colour tones in good light.

Looks like a lonley beach that way. You mention it is frequently visted by tourists but it does not seem to spoil the beach at all.

Hi Renier,
it looks a bit windy in that lovely beach view. Good lines overall and good patterns by the small rocks on the beach. They look a bit being volcanic? The palm forest gives a good background together with the nice clouds in the sky.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

A marvellous tropical beachscape, with good sharpness & colour. I like the repetition of the coconut palms. Tfs!

Great view of the beach. Good low POV and the vertical composition works very well. Lovely sunny atmosphere, enhanced by the appealing colours. I like the inclusion of all the stones in the foreground too.

The low POV works really well here. I like the vertical frame, the color of the sky contrasting with the sand is also pretty to look at.
TFS,

A wonderful shot of a "Paradise" island. The diagonal shoreline leads us nicely into the scene. The palm trees almost make a triangle that works well in the composition. Well done

This beach really looks deserted! The low PoV, the soft waves reaching the beach and this beautiful sky makes the scene looking like Robinson Crouse scenario! Very good exposure my friend.
Warm regards,
Athanasios.

Hello Renier,

I like the depth in his image. The beach is nice and clean, with the few rocks adding a nice touch to the greyish sand. Excellent perspective to capture the palm trees on the right. Light, colours and sharpness are very nice. Thanks Renier.

Roberto

pablominto (53746) 2008-04-24 0:34

Hello Renier,
I can feel the fresh breeze here, and the summer sky is very attractive!
Nice to see beaches that is not developed at all, even that is no problem in the Philippines...
This is a well composed presentation, and the shimmering reflection in the water adds to the mood!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Renier,

nice beach shot. I love the way you focused on the beach showing only a little bit of the sea. To be honnest, I'm once more a little bit desapointed by the overall technic quality of this photo. I mean, the compo would have deserve a sharpest picture... What camera did you used?

Cheers,

Loïc

danos (110407) 2008-05-03 1:54

Hello Renier,
nice this desert coast that is empty of tourists and i think that is more interest for viewing.The coast that is bestrewn with stones, create a great depth of field and in combination with the palm trees in the background, make an exotic scene.Well done.

Have a nice weekend,Danos

bakes888 (18499) 2008-05-17 2:09

Hi Renier. Nice photo. Good use of the vertical format to give it depth. Good colours and sharpness also. Thanks for sharing.
