CC: To me this seems like two pictures - the top half is a great cityscape/ mountains behind etc, and the bottom half is a colourful, crowded beach scene - lots of life and people and great colours, contrasts and the sea. I'm left a bit confused as to which bit is really the focus of the picture - the mountain is solid and stately, very statically placed bang in the center of the frame, and there is this busy riot of people below - I feel it somehow needs to be linked together, either by similar shapes, or positions of pieces to join these two, maybe with the shapes of the umbrellas mirroring the mountains ?

I love this riot of colors! And those tall buildings look so meek beside the towering mountain. Awesome!

Nice photo, but a little too bright, busy and washed out.

I get the feeling people might rate this down having so many people in it, but i like it. The background is great, with nice rolling hills and great rock formations, compared to the very angular buildings. Great shot. 9

Yeah, this is what summers all about. Lovely colourful image! This would look great as a BW/colour mix. Take a look at my BW/colour mix album at www.picturetrail.com/freezethemoment to see what I did with a shot I took of a crowded harbour in Cornwall.

Nice shot. Really meets the challenge. That is one crowded beach. Focus and lighting are good. 8 waltoml.

Very pretty. Nice combination of landscape, city scape and people. I just realized that the beach extends across the whole picture is is full up crowded the entire length! Wow, that's alot of people on the beach! Nice puffy clouds! Good color. 8 Swash

This is a wonderfull scene, which lives from it's stepwise buildup: the beach in the front, the ocean, the houses behind it and then the wonderfull hills and mountains.
Also that everything is alligned and oriented to the the left side is great. You might have moved closer to the colored sunshades though, making them an surface on which the rest of the scene (ocean, houses, mountain) are rested. Would have been a better choice as the white tent in the front. Sharpness and colors are great. I hope you were able to swim a little. Good luck with this.

This is so wrong... I am freezing here!! Really nice shot. I wish we could see more colored umbrellas and less white in the foreground. Good job.

I love the atmosphere here and the backdrop is fantastic. Is that a cable car on that mountain? Surpurb colours and it looks like a perfect day for the beach. Composition is great as well as the surrounding area. GL

Hey -- no fair being in such a beautiful, warm place! Great shot :)

Great contrast of colour (foreground) and scenary (background). Your focus, exposure and framing is also very good. I think the shot would have been boring if taken from the shoreline (ie: no people in the foreground) - good decision.

Too busy in the foreground for my tastes. The backdrop is stunning though, especially with the peak jutting out of the hills towering over the building. Good perspective there. Overall not a bad pic but too busy with the beach patrons - Inspzil

Great contrast with the mountains, buildings and then people. Beach shots are so great for obtaining vibrant colors. Very good!

Seems as if you have quite a blue tinge in this image - as if your white balance is a few miles off. The scene itself is nice, however. (6)
