My entry in Reflections Hunters - Round #52

avatar

There is a little window of time in the late afternoon for spotters to see reflections of whoever or whatever standing or sitting at the very edge of the ocean waves as the tide rhythmically goes in and out.

Conscious of people's right to privacy I am very careful and surreptitious when taking these photos.

This is my entry photo and a favourite of mine. I love lots of things about it, the Golden Retriever sitting contently near his mistress at the water edge, the striking colour of the lady's orange top and the calming atmosphere in surrounding ocean and sky.

The other two photos I am sharing were snapped on the beach near the end of another day during the Christmas holiday season. Not only did the reflections catch my eye I was also struck with the contentment coming from the visitor beach goers standing at the water's edge. It was all so peaceful. The extended family seemed very contented to stand soaking up the view and atmosphere before heading back to their home away from this beach.

It is only some days when the right weather conditions on the beach create picture perfect reflections.

I don't like taking photos of people, but I like your images a lot, Angie. The reflections are lovely and the weather and light is great 😀 The first photo is also my favourite - it shows so much peace and calmness.

It's a really lovely reflection post 😊

What a lovely compliment from you Hannes, it has tickled my ego a little.
We have a very pretty beach that presents the best photo opportunities. I can only imagine what fabulous photos you would take here.
I agree with being circumspect in taking photos of people, I always feel I am imposing on their privacy so am very discreet and try only to take shots that do not identify them.

All my pleasure, Angie 😊

I think this year I will take beach photos again from the Mediterranean sea, but there are certainly not as beautiful long beaches as you have, but I will see 😉

Yep, if I can't avoid having people in a photo I also try to have their faces not recognizable or I edit them accordingly in post.

Hope you're having a great week 🌞

!PIZZA and !BEER served with !LUV - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Your pictures are really awesome, @angiemitchell 👍❤️. To be honest, I am on @johannpiber 's side about people on photos, but they look absolutely integrated into the whole atmosphere of your top picture.
Thank you for participating in the contest 🤗
