Hello Jean,
I shot somethng similar to this in
Goa. Excellent landscape and they are beautiful. Sharp picture and good composition. Well done ganesh

Hello J.P.

This is like one of your other shots but with the light switched on! Now it is possible to see the colours and textures of the trees.

I do like how the trees sweep out to sea as if they are searching for someone!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi JP,

A beautiful scene - just beautiful. I love looking thru the wonderful palms to see the water and the greenery on the opposite side. The colors are magnificent. It struck me when I was in India how different your colors are from those in Arizona.
