This has an exquisite ethereal feel to it....it is not of this world. A human hand blurred in a soup of blur that is holding a sphere to show us the entry into the real world in focus. I also love the glow. Did you put a glow filter on this or is it natural ?

Thank you for talking to .....wish more members would engage and discuss images, that way we could all learn. Appreciated. Please feel free to critique my images (which you don't know which are mine because it's all incognito, but never mind)....ahhhhh

Congratulations to you on this win.

Coming from Canada I know this scene and it does spell paradise for snowbirds and for others who suffer through lousy weather in their home country. Nicely composed.

thanks olga

I like the way you composed this including that long long strip of sand leading our eyes to the hotel. At our Photo Club, one of our members took a similar photo of a beach property and sold it to the hotel for 800 USD, copyright and all. Just a suggestion! It could use a touch more saturation to make it sparkle and the horizon line is dipping to the right.

thanks olga

Wow you spotted these and shot them...good eye! I have been looking everywhere for triangles and driving myself to drink. This evening shot with long shadows cast is sharp and well composed. The horizon is dead straight, ....a solid entry.

thanks olga for the good comments,actually taken during the day

Good eye there....like this one a lot.

thanks again

Contrats Brian, well done
