  1. Love the way that person appears to be ignoring the view – like an elephant in the room!!

  2. I was at the beach last weekend, but unlike this chap, I couldn’t take my eyes off the water!

  3. Now this looks like a perfect spot to relax. Beautiful image!

  4. very nice situation!!! the maximun of relax, special atmosphere in good light

  5. Almost dramatic to see that old man with 2 seats.. that’s a nice “mise en scène”!

  6. Martina, I like the tension elements in this image…the empty chair and the gentleman absorbed in reading a newspaper in surrounds which would have others daydreaming of far away places. Nice impact.

    Hummm…definitely clandestine photography taking place in these last three posted images. :-)

  7. Great horizon lines. The mix of colors is amazing.

    Thanks for your visit;)

  8. fantastic colors. i wish the another chair is for me.

  9. Simplicity and precise placement of detail in the scene have made this just perfect!

  10. Nice view here, and not a bad place to take a break :-)

  11. Wow, totally love it! The play of light is great.

  12. Great shot Martina!!
    The time to relax is — when you don’t have time for it…. It fits perfectly!

  13. Great composition. Where is the second person gone? Lot of interpretation….

  14. jolie composition, qui évoque les vacances.

  15. A brilliantly seen image that captures a sense of fun and also bewliderment that the character could ignore such beauty of the crashing waves that threaten to envelope him at any moment. Really well captured.
