Coconut trees in Juan Dolio Beach Photo

Photographer’s Note

This picture was taken at Juan Dolio Beach, same place that I took my last picture but this time areas with coconut trees and white sand beach were included. It's a nice place to rest and spend a relaxing weekend.

Hope you like it.

Hej Emile,
A relaxing view over the beach with all the palm trees. Their shadows on the ground are very nice as well. The sunlight is also great and I like the colours. Good work!
Hilsen,

Hi Emile,

Indeed, this looks like a beautiful place to spend some time and relax! I am always a little cautious about sleeping beneath coconut trees though! Lovely colours and light in this photo, and the pier in the background adds depth to this image.

TFS!

Regards,

Steve

Hi Emile,
Sometimes you find pictures like this one which makes you feel like going on holidays away from the stress of the life in a huge city.
I like the feeling given by the bent palm trees.

Good evening, Emile,

I never thought about how slender and graceful a palm tree was until seeing them all together like this, reaching for the sun. I like their shadows on the sand, balancing out what almost seems like top-heavy foliage. The curve of the beach, the glimpse of water and the little huts (pavillions?) all add to the breezy relaxation of the scene.

Regards, Lisa

Hola Emile.

Tu sigue poniendo fotos de estas y al final conseguirás que me de un infarto o algo...que rabia. Aquí todo el día encerrado pasando un calor de la leche y otros en unas playitas que son un lujazo. Que rabia e injusta es la vida... :P

Sobre la foto, un poco lo dicho, una sensación de descanso buenísima. Me gusta.

Un saludo, Oscar

Hi Emile,
What a lovely spot this is ... absolutely a dream place on earth ... if you do not look the other way to the huge hotels ;)
Great shot

Gerrit (37596) 2006-07-13 4:07

Hi Emile,
another fine shot of this fine place. I've been there for a short stop between San Pedro and Santo Domingo and it is very relaxed and quiet.
I like the play of sun and shadow between the swinging palms.
regards, Gerrit

sergio1 (12150) 2006-07-13 4:33

JOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH Yo quiero estar ahí !!!!

Emile este es un gran trabajo, de verdad lo digo. Me gusta mucho la composición y el impacto de generan la inclinación de las palmeras que parece que se quieran dar un chapuzón. El color del mar es genial y los bulbalow o cabañas del fondo está ideal.
Es una gran trabajo aunque me das enviadia jejejeje
Saludos amigo
PD: Pegate un baño en ese esplecido paraiso por mi, vale.

Si hay algo que extraño de la isla es eso: las playas. Aqui no tienen idea de que es una buena playa. A todo lo quieren comercializar y ponerle un superhotel... como dice Oscar, no pares de postear esta serie.

Saludos,
Enrique

Hi Emile,
Indeed a restful spot, with sand, beach and shade. I like the shadows of the palms here. Your POV is quite effective, as you concentrated on the shore more than the ocean. The little beach structures in the distance promise additional respite from the sun and also help balance the frame. Good exposure level.
John

Hi Emile,
What a happy place for a lovely holiday, under the palmtrees with a good beer or a other beverage, this is a really holiday picture but without much people, splendid composition.
Have a nice day,
John

Hola Emile,
Cuando veo esta magnífica vista de esta playa con los cocoteros, me vienen unas ganas tremendas de transportarme en el espacio/tiempo y aparecer aquí como por arte de magia, a disfrutar de este paraíso. En Barcelona hemos llegado a los 40ºC estos días, ahora mismo, a las 21:15, estamos a 30ºC. Por lo tanto entenderás que me encante esta foto, me refresca aunque sólo sea virtualmente.
Una foto espléndida, amigo mío.
Un saludo,
Josep

Hi Emile
Looks like a tourist haven with idyllic sandy beaches. I can't help remembering Cuba when I see a picture like this. But you're virtual neighbours so the landscape is likely to be similar. Nice shadows from the palm tress and a good, field of trees effect. The blue sky is, as usual, stunning. Great work.

Excellent postcard of this fantastic land, your land. Great beach view with palm trees and transparent water.
Very well captured my friend.
Have a nice weekend, Aires

USErin (445) 2006-07-14 12:10

I love it, it looks like a lot of unsharp mask was applied though. I could be wrong, but nonetheless a beautiful photo.

rozy975 (3047) 2006-07-14 15:08

Dreamy beach with palmtrees and blue waters of Carribean.
Good composition.
Well done!

PJE (19697) 2006-07-14 19:55

Emile did you day a weekend? How about a month of relaxation at a beach like this? I like this place Emile. It reminds me of a holiday with the family in Hawaii a few years back. Gorgous ocean colors and wonderful warm breeze through the palms. Thanks for sharing!

ChrisJ (72276) 2006-07-14 22:51

Hi Emile,

I like the graphism of the coconut palms against the blue sky. It looks a lot like Ko Samui in southern Thailand. Tfs!

feather (51050) 2006-07-16 11:13

it looks like a true paradise. I love all thte coconut palms leaning towards the sea and all the shadow patterns on the sand.

Hi Emile, Very pleasant composition. To see such a tropical scene during our winter is good to see for sure. Your perspective is idea from under the trees looking out to the sea-cabins and beyond. TFS. Murray.

weswang (18223) 2006-07-23 14:03

Hi Emile, You have well captured this paradise picture. Beautiful view and nice contrast. The palm tree on the beach together with the pier made this a very attractive relax place. An impressive picture.

oochappan (22050) 2006-07-25 20:13

Hi Emile
I like this one a lot, a fine sunny holiday atmosphere you got here with the sinlight and shadowplay of the palms on the very white sand towards the curving beachline and the hits at the horizont and a fine blue sky, very apealing shot.
Henk

elmec (12194) 2006-07-30 4:52

Hola Emile!
Superbe plage de sable blanc et les palmiers sont magnifiques. Avec l'ombre des palmiers on dirait preque une photo en 3D.
Je crois bien être passé par là lors de mes vacances dans ce coin.
Merci de nous faire voir de si belles photos,
Emilius

maphoto (8076) 2006-11-24 19:21
