All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. We need to work to pay the bills, but we don't want to work all day, every day. Every now and then we need a break. So, we look forward to, and take vacations!
Take a shot of people who look like they are on vacation. You might pick a crowd with one who stands out, or simply an old couple on a cruise. Are they on a metaphoric vacation (sleeping in all day, surfing the internet and eating cold pizza and warm beer)? If it's not obvious, please give a description why it's your definition of 'on vacation'. Animals in the shot are ok, but you must have at least one person. Have fun!
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!
jerostone: To avoid misunderstandings and embarassement, please clarify whether pictures of people swimming, sunbathing , and/or involved in water sports would be consider on topic ( 5 years and 3140 days ago )
Contest Moderator: People swimming, sunbathing, and/or involved in water sports would be on topic so long as they appeared to be ordinary people on vacation. A shot of professional swimmers or water skiers performing for a crowd, for example, would be considered off topic. ( 5 years and 3134 days ago )

Just a suggestion author, having the subject (the umbrellas) dead-center in the image creates a less than interesting composition. In the future, try shooting/cropping so the subject of interest is on the upper 3rd, lower 3rd of off-centered...it should help the composition greatly and create a more interesting image.

thank you for your comment itsmymoment, i think it is better now.
We were visiting Cancun, Mexico and rented these little one man submarines. They were kind of like motorcycles with a bubble for your head that had air. They didn't go very fast, but they were FUN! (5 years and 3136 days ago)
Yeah, fun, till the moment a huge great white appears out of the blue!!!

That's ok. In that case, it's just like if you're running from a Grizzley Bear. You don't have to be the fastest - you just don't want to be the slowest!
.... and besides you can always push toward the dastardly beast that... kinky contraption of a submersible to have it for a snack, while you swim the heck away. Now, author, you beat us all to the punch!

yes...the peacefulness of solitude on the water is quite the vacation that I envision...this is in Maryland at Pretty Boy Reservior, actually the water source for all of Baltimore City
