Photographer's Note

this photo (taken at around 2pm near the Cocodimama resort on the western coast of Eleuthera) just about sums it up for the first day of this year - the day that went by as in slow-mo with every moment cripy and perfect.

Simple but effective compo, Those clouds are superb on the dark blue sky. I like the green line of the sea at the horizon.

hi kristine, welcome to TE. Stunning colours, could almost be an abstract paining with the swirls of the clouds. It would be amazing to have been somewhere so beautiful and hot in January!

Hi Kristine,
This is a simple but beautiful composition. Cloud formations on a polarized sky look very nice. The turquoise color really cathes attention. Very nice relaxing, vacation photo. Makes you wish you were there :) Well done.
Have a nice weekend,
Ahmet

Olб Kristine, welcome to TE. Good begining with two beautiful minimalist blue images of the paradise. Wonderful painting on the sky and incredible sense of peace, since this paradise seems empty of people. Very well done!
Best regards,
Ricardo

Wonderful clouds. The sky is so beautiful and the water and is so clear up front yet so so blue in the back. Beautiful Beautiful and more beautiful.

Hi Kristine,
Excellent capture - it is full of depth and the vastness of the skies with their deep blue color is great.
This sure is the pace to be for a new year!

Bonsoir Kristine,

Ce ciel est une vйritable peinture et je trouve particuliиrement judicieux de lui avoir donner autant de place dans la photo, c'est trиs agrйable а l'oeil et cela donne une belle profondeur а ce magnifique paysage marin. Un vйritable avant goыt de vacances, merci Kristine.

Avec toutes mes amitiйs et une trиs bonne soirйe,

Jean-Charles

Great sky / beach / Bahamas photo Kristine. Colos and composition are excellent. The differing cloud typs look great in the sky and the "wispy" one going through the top adds a nice dramatic touch to the photo. An overall great looking photo.

A very interesting point, for me at least, is that I remember exactly where I was at 2:00 PM on the first. I was sitting on a stone in the front of Ta Prohm in the Angkor temple complex in Cambodia finishing off a freshly cut pineapple...interesting.

Great work.
Thanks for the memory.

Hi Kristine. wonderful canvas of a minimalist nature.I can imagine it large and hanging in a house with white walls. Such pure and vibrant blues. And how precious are the hints of the golden sands. Regards. Klaudio.

mikeo (12129) 2008-01-10 8:08

Oh dear!
What a place, what colours! seems its aparadise on the Earth...
Great sharpness and excellent composition with the 'painting' created by the clouds.

Good job!
greetings

Hi Kristine,
I'll bet that you would like to be here right now after your New York winter! You had a tough one this year. This is a great photo and I love its simplicity and the dominating blue tones. I like your composition with the amazing sky dominating the scene. You should get this englarged and have it framed in your residence or office and daydream about being here the next time that you get snowed in. This is a wonderful image and would make a good seller at an art gallery or gift shop! Superb!

Truly beautiful! I love the line of the clouds. You captured a great shot. The colours are amazing..... how do i get there?? This photo makes me want to visit this place.

plimrn (21344) 2008-04-23 10:02

Hi Kristine,
I'm captivated by another 'oldie but goodie ' from random...at least this time i know what I'm doing.

There really are no words to describe this perfect cloud sculpture ove the endless transparent water over the white sand except to say, I'm so glad you had such a perfect day.
HLJ, Pat

Hi Kristine,

Though it is one year and four months .. but i think it is better late than never..

Salute for the amazingly beautiful photograph of nature.. I like the color of sky blue and cobalt blue at the depth of Horizon...the design of the clouds are par excellence..

Cheers

Hi Kristine,
What beautiful delicate wispy clouds seen populating the vivid blue and turquoise sky above the silver blue sea.
The colors are quite unique to go along with the wonderful sharp details to this fine tropical image.
Regards, Tom

Nice shot. Brings back memories. This is actually a shot of "Alabaster Bay" and I spent several summers there while my uncle built the naval base for the American Navy and the airfield (Governor's Harbour). The old house was washed away by hurricanes. One of the most beautiful places to swim on the island in the warm, calm waters. Paradise as the phot makes clear.

bostankorkulugu (42832) 2009-04-01 13:35
