That is really nice photo! Awsome shape palm tree, nice sky color (by the way did you use polarizer for this picture?), nice water color. I want to be there tomorrow!

Hi Mario,
Quality of this photo is nothing short of superb. Excellent composition. I really like POV, as well as DOF. And of course, colors are spectacular. Blue palm top stands out nicely against dark blue sky.

Regards,
Goran

An interesting perspective you chose here Mario. Typically folk want to show the overhang, but you've broke the paradigm. I like this and think the beautiful colors are very inviting.

This is the best colour for a southern island beach.
I really like this saturation with great composition, Mario.
Excellent!

Hermosa.... es la descripcion a esta fotografia, hermosa... hermoso paisaje, hermosa toma, realmente es una super fotografia, admiro muchisimo este trabajo, has captado un paisaje tan natural, tan fresco que hasta ver la fotografia se puede sentir la brisa de la playa correr, se puede apreciar el color de la playa, el sol, la mata de palma, el color del cielo azul...
simplemente hermosa, buen trabajo Mario, te felicito!

Hello Mario,
I like the set up of the Lone Tree image. It appears to grow right out of the image the wy you have positioned it. Very good depth and exposure on this shot.
Well done...

vinicio (22368) 2006-02-15 1:48

Very good image Mario, my compliments, I do not have null to criticize.

Bonjour Mario
Cela donne envie de vacances. Excellent pdv car on a l'habitude voir ces cocotiers plutôt de côté. Sympa l'ombre. J'adore la couleur de l'eau et le ciel.

Très belle photo qui nous aide à supporter l'hiver!

Hello Mario,
OK - this is a stereotype - but a excellent one. I like the good timing with the wave splashing and the visible shadow. of the palm tree. Great job. TFS Thomas

I NEED TO GO THERE! That's a great image - and it makes me upset that I'm here in the Rainy Pacific Northwest! Oh well. You did a fantastic job metering. And the circular polarizer was clutch! Perfect, thanks for sharing,

Brian

zeca (20026) 2006-03-24 18:25

What a great POV! Wonderful lights and colours! Amazing shadows! Gorgeous beach! Wish to be there one day...where in Dominican Republic is it? TFS!
Cheers!

Very interesting tree, specially taken from this angle, which leads us to the leaves. Excellent colors of the sea and sky.

fabianoleite (961) 2006-03-31 18:25

Interesting how the tree looks like a rat's hindquarters. Great perspective!

mopinia (153) 2006-05-29 14:13

WOw! Spectacular! Never thought I'd say that about a picture of a palm tree but this is a, as Henryk said,"Fantastic point of view!" My only criticism is that you could have reduced the harsh polarizer a bit just to get a nicer blue in the top part of your photo. But overall, this is a great composition! You've even got a little wave splash action which really adds to your picture. Good job! This place reminds me of a beach in La Semana. I just love the D.R. I need to get myself a wide angle lens, pronto! - Mike O.

Bonjour Mario,
Il faut cesser de nous faire rêver ! Excellent point de vue et techniquement sans reproche. Félicitations.

rafid76 (2611) 2006-08-08 13:27

fantastic pic, those wide angle lenses do an amazing job.

hitesh (594) 2006-08-08 13:43

Hi Mario'
Its a great shot, the colour of the sky looks great and tree really gives the impression of lonelyness.
Its a great shot

Hi again Mario, this is an absolutely cracking photo. Not only have you used the trunk to lead the eye into the photo, but you have used the shadow of the tree as an essential compositional element. The saturation is just perfect. I stayed at the Ocean Bavaro last summer (shortly before I rediscovered photography) and the photo captures the beauty of the area very well. Stephen

sebinho342 (18736) 2006-10-19 19:24

... et dire que je l'ai jamais commentée celle la ... ;)
Elle est merveilleuse cette photo, c'est celle qui m'a décidé de poster des photos sur TE.
Une merveille, je m'en lasse pas de la revoir

Hi.
Beautiful picture.
Great POV. Looks like a dancing Hawaiian girl - she's swinging. Palm branches are the feathers on her head, then goes the silhouette and the roots are her skirt on her hips :-) Just a thought. There's another image I see in your photo - as it is from the back it reminds me of an ostrich - the trunk is a long neck and the roots are its body :-)
TFS this beautiful world.
Best regards,
Luiza

Salut Mario,

on peut dire que le succès de cette photo est complètement mérité ! Quelle classe ! Non seulement il faut du culot pour oser un tel POV mais il en faut encore plus pour le réussir parfaitement. C'est ce qui s'est passé ici ! Une photo "carte postale"... magie des couleurs et du cadrage !
Tu fais fort ! Mes félicitations !

Aimée

Salut mario
Je crois, la plus belle photo de cocotier que j'ai pu voir.
L'utilisation du grand angle est géniale.
Les couleurs saturée nous amène dans un autre monde.
Bravo!
A+

I wouldn't usually critique a photo that's received as many critiques as this one because normally, everything has already been said.
However, I can't help myself with this one. I've got a real soft spot for shots like this and this is just such a wonderful photo.
I love the deeply polarised sky, the wonderful, snaking shape of the tree and the inclusion of the shadow underneath. It's crisp and sharp and it just exudes warmth. I feel like if I look at it long enough, I'll get a decent suntan!
Really fantastic.
