COME ON IN, a photo from Sao Tome, Sao Tome

Photographer's Note

The beaches in São Tomé and Principe are almost desert little paradises. The coast has a lot of beaches.One can walk along miles and might see a fisherman going out to sea. If you like to have a beach for your self, this is the right place for you.

Hi Rui!
A good shot from this not often shown destination.
Not the perfect day to spend at the beach,but I like the composition with your low POV and the footsteps in the sand.Good depth,too.
Regards,leo

Not today, thank you. This menacing sky makes a good contrast to the colour of the sand, but maybe one will get wet without going in to the sea!

Hello Rui,

The dramatic sky and the white surf indicate this is not the best time for swimming!
The composition is well done with the curving beach line, and the colours are attractive and match well each others...
The tracks in the sand add attraction value!

Hello Rui,

Again, I am grateful to be introduced to sites on Principe Island, where Einstein's theory of general relativity was first tested in 1919. And your note is especially useful, to put it into perspective.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Rui,

A really well composed picture. The diagonal line and bend of the shore line is really attractive and the sky and lighting is really exciting. Beautiful natural colours. TFS and have a nice weekend!

Cheers,

Ulf

Olá Rui,
O céu carregado acentua ainda mais a característica do local, longe da "civilização". Boa foto.

Olá Rui,
A vista e perspectiva é fabulosa, com a linha da praia a entrar pela imagem adentro partindo do canto. A luminosidade é fascinante. Certamente um belo convite!
Um abraço,
José

Ola Rui,
You really captured the feeling of a tropical storm with the threatening sky yet still a bit of sunlight in the foreground. I also really like the way you emphasized curves in this well-composed work; the curving footprint paths intersect with the curve of the beach and the with the curve of palms.
