A decent frame with slow shutter speed giving an ethereal look to the flowing water. But a little warmer tones could have helped?

The vastness of the scene is very well illustrated; I believe the sea recedes from the coastline a great deal on low tides and the receding figures, from foreground to background,  convey that amply. Congrats.

I like the framing, overall. Wonder if it was possible to frame just the one tree, instead of two. That way, could have got a panoramic view of the brilliantly lit sky.

Every year in January the herits (sadhus) from all over India (and

abroad) gather in the confluence of the river Ganges with the ocean (bay

of Bengal). A dip early in the morning is considered holy.This picture is

one of such saadhus who has travelled hundreds of miles to be at the

confluence.

Very creative use of window light. I like the purple hue on the shadow areas, while the skin tones are near perfect on the highlights. But the eyes appear eerie. Natural? Thanks to you for visiting my page.

This surely tells a story. I like the cropping. Thanks for sharing.

The shot taken in West Java, Indonesia. Comments welcome. Please

view the enlarged image. Thanks.

I would categorise this as a great abstract image. Very balanced composition in matter of contrasty tones. Thanks, Tarek, for sharing

Thanks Tarek and Sorin for your suggestive comments. It really goes a long way to provide the necessary encouragement to go forward.

This light situation only comes once in a while.What sets up the frame, I believe, is the contrast between the sky tones and that of the vegetation. And the patch of light has been spot on, to draw attention to the simple frame. And thanks for visiting my page and the encouraging comments given. Look forward to more offerings.

Please view the image on enlarged scale. Any comment, constructive

criticism will be welcome.

Thanks for the comments, Ricardo. That was inspiring indeed.

Excellent capture, Alpo. Hope to see more from you in the future. And thanks for visiting my page and crtiquing meaningfully. I have one frame of the same scene from an angle that you advocate as proper.I had taken the particular frame for posting here because I thought the crashing waves add an element of dynamism to the picture.Thanks a lot.

The formation of the waves on the ocean fascinated me. This was shot

on an execissively overcast day.

The image was taken on a stormy day in the souther coast of Java,

Indonesia. Comments welcome.

The shot was taken on the Southern coast of Java, Indonesia. Would

welcome reviews and critique.

What I like about this photograph is the timing. Had the boy been in the brighter patch of light, the impact surely would have lessened. The form conveys the feeling of playfulness and the stripes on the jacket harmonises well with the patches on the stony stairway. Very nice. Thanks for sharing. 

A pretty good portrait with excellent details on the skin texture. I wish I could see an enlarged image. I like the man's happy expression, the balance of the frame appears a bit disturbed with so much of negative space on the left of the frame. Thanks for sharing, anyway, Jaina.

This works super in b & w. Overall distribution of tones is excellent and the water flows have been rendered ethereal. Great shot and thanks for giving us the viewing pleasure.

I guess this is a self-portrait. And very craftily done. The expression is intense with the eyes reflecting defiance. The highlights on the potion of the face and arms are also very creatively dodged giving the image a warm feel. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.

Thanks Pierre and Wim for taking the time to visit my page. Regards.

Thev quizzical expression on the man's face has ome out very well. I also like the skin tone - very natural. Best regards.

I like the effect. A very creative presentation indeed. Regards.
