[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
A sunny afternoon at the seaside; some like to lie in the sun on the beach, others prefer to sit in the shade.

Fouras is a French commune, located in the department of Charente-Maritime, 34 kilometres south of La Rochelle.

It lies on a peninsula, bordered by five beaches, 20% of its area is covered by forest known as Le Bois Vert (the Green Wood). At low tide a causeway connects it to the islet of Énet, on which a defensive fort was built. Boats can be taken from Fouras to the island of Aix, where Napoleon spent his last night in Europe before being carried into exile to Saint Helena.

The south coast of the Fouras peninsula forms the north side of the mouth of the River Charente. A little farther south lies the island of Oleron. Between the islands of Aix and Oleron is another small island, on which is built Fort Boyard, made famous on French television by a programme of the same name.

The vogue for sea bathing in the nineteenth century contributed to making Fouras a major tourist centre and seaside resort.

Hello,

Très belle recherche du cadrage, avec ce mur et ces gens qui se protège de l'ombre, puis la belle plage, mangigique.

Bravo et amitiés
Nicou

This one really makes me smile. Cute, and the angle your shooting from showing these people huddled in the shade. A really nice beach! Have a great day!

Bonjour Stephen
Un angle bien choisi pour nous faire voir à la fois les adeptes du soleil et ceux qui s'en protègent. C'est simple mais bien pensé.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Nice idea and an excellent shot! Sharp, correct exposure, beautiful composition.

It looks like they should put more seats in the shade.:D. Unusual composition with the three elements in the frame; it works well. Reminiscent of resorts everywhere. Well done
Kath

Salut Stephen,
nice composition with a great perspective and POV of this side of the beach.The best i like, are the people that sit in the shadow of the wall, when the others take a bath in the sea or enjoy the sun.Informative your note too.

Have a nice weekend,danos

Hello Stephen,
I think I would prefer the shadow, but it is crowded there. A good juxtapositioning with that small shadow space and the more sun places. Good textures.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

This one follows on from yesterday. I like the contrast between the sun worshipers on the beach and the sun hated under the shade. It makes a nice picture. regards kevin

Salut Stephen
L'ombre ou la lumière, tu t'attaques à un grand thème de la vie de l'humanité.
J'aime beaucoup ce pOV surélevé et ce contraste entre ces gens qui se font bronzés et ceux qui se cachent du soleil en leur tournant le dos.
Très bien vu!!
Amicalement
Hervé

Hi Stephen

Good capture of the small crowd of 4, taking refuge from the sun, in the shadow of the wall. Excellent sharpness, sidelight, & pov. Tfs!

Hi Stephen,
Splendid impression for this seaside. I like the creative composition and the expressive details. Lights and clarity are excellent, Very well done! Have a nice weekend
George

Bonjour Stephen,
C'est une très belle composition, avec des types de point de vue et cadrage que tu n'utilises pas habituellement. C'est une belle image de Fouras. Bravo.
Bonne journée et bon week-end
Cordialement
Joël

Hi Stephen,
Excellent shot, very good strong colors and contrasts.Excellent summer composition,
Georg

Salut Stephen,
Comme quoi il en faut pour tous les goûts ;o))
Et dire que je recherche le chaleur ici dans les terres du Québec !
Aussi ta prise de vue date d'avril ! Ici, tout était encore de glace et neige.
Merci pour ces rayons de soleil... et un peu de mer.

Bonjours, comme je vais sans doute être absent pour un certains temps, je vais visionner beaucoup de photos et celle que je trouverais jolies, je mettrais un commentaire copié collé et ma femme essaiera de mettre les points pendant mon départ de la maison.
J' espère que cela vous fera quand même plaisir car moi pendant mon opération et mon temps a l' hôpital, vos photo vont me manquer.
belle photo, bonne netteté, belle vue plaisante a visionner.

Amitiés Thomas
Je reviens.
