It's hard to believe places like these still exist. ;-;

Thank you for this picture. It's so pristine and calming. I could stare at it forever :]

The contrast is great and the colors are so.... *sob*

Blue, blue sky and ocean, white, white sand with a splash of green coast and a detailed tree... ;-;

You envy. ENVY.

The trees look so out of place, which I think makes the photo better. The white sand and blue sky of course look great - the typical vacation fantasy.

This pic is great, the colors are great. The tree looks like its on a island of fog. Looking out to the ocean. The way its composed is great. I have nothing bad to say about it, great shot!

Wow This is amazing I love the white sands and the ever so beautiful waters, I haven't been to Fraser Island, I've been to Dunk Island, I think this will have to be the next one.

The rule of 1/3 is done wonderfully with the sand sea and sky.

Well, where do I begin.... OK, I'll start with the blatant...I LOVE THIS

This standalone tree in such an odd place, makes me realise why so many people want to flee boring Britain, it's absolutely gorgeous, as is the general setting. You have dfinitely chosen the right time of day for this picture, the intense light of midday really pounds the sand and illuminates it beautifully. The melange of colour is simply irreplicable elsewhere, the intense greens, blues and whites are so aesthetically pleasing that this could well be close to paradise. And that little orange thing beside the tre... I don't quitre know what it is, but that's irrelevant, cos it breaks up the uniform beach nicely with a splash of strong colour. The sea is also very exciting with an entire range of blues lapping up on the shore. I can't stop praising this picture, but I'd better stop before you can;t fit out the door. One tiny teeny weeny criticism though i'm afraid.....the horizon isn't quite straight which is a basic skill and should always be adhered, unless going for an arty approach. But regardless of this, this is still a phenomenal picture, and I want to it more than once, but unfortunately, I can't, so once will do

PS This'd be a GREAT print, and I would buy one in a second

wow, thank you so much for taking so much time to comment my work!!!!! it means really much to me

what do you mean with straight horizon? the sand on the other side of the lake? the sand in the foreground which isnt a straight line? (well, this one is because further left were so many people swiming -> i was forced to take this angle *ggg*)

but once again, thank you very very much!!

No the horizon is the line the top of the ocean takes, i.e a natural horizontal, natural vertical points to the centre of Earth and the horizon is at a right angle to this. Your picture is slightly tilted (as if you were turning to the camera to a portirait orientation instead of a landscape orientation) get it?

You thoroughly deserved it, it was a terrific picture
