Photographer's Note
I don't have much to say about this photo. Late summer, the Mediterranean water still lukewarm and people enjoying their vacation.
I took this from a street in the old town of Rab overlooking the sea. Rab is a town on the Croatian island with the same name. Here is a larger version.
I have added two workshop photos from the same place of people enjoying the water or just lazing in the sun. All photos are digital and all of them are truly nothing special.

Hello Gert,
You waited until exactly the right moment before you took your shot, to capture the different examples of water lovers, on a fine diagonal. These are the two extremes of effort! I wonder if she had some means (besides her hands) to propel herself had she drifted too far from the shore!
It's a simple composition, well executed but, I do prefer your w/s where the lady is topping-up her tan! There, the rule of three is well executed and there are some attractive contrasts of colours and textures. Still, life would be so boring if we were all the same!
Have a lovely Sunday,
Bev :-)

Hi Gert,a very professional and original way to show something of summer vacation in Croatia. Minimalistic compositions,but i disagree with your for the choice of the main post. For me the second WS is absolutely fantastic,the water transparecies are amazing...but no problem,it's still OK...ehehe..great quality as usual! Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

Hello Gert,
A lovely and relaxing photo with a great holiday mood. You included the three people floating on the calm water in the different ways very well. They also stand out very nicely against the blue background. Very well spotted.

Hi, Gert.
The island of Rab is a privileged place for a vacation, great this diagonal composition with the canoe and the woman on the pneumatic mattress and between both a wonderful blue of that Mediterranean sea.
Excellent POV, with very good lighting, color and sharpness to enjoy the details.
Very good work. I like it
Enjoy a happy sunday
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hello Gert,
Nothing special in the beach version. I would love to be there and swim in the warm clear water. It is so salty that one can be on water without any effort. I forgot that you were in Croatia in 2010. I enjoyed the rocky beaches there in 2011. I like the funny pictures in Workshop. A bit like Jasmis style with the fat people lazing in the sun.

Hello Gert,
the three scenes you've included in this little series are familiar, interesting and amusing, the subjects totally oblivious of your lens and that is what allows us to get a glimpse of their private selves. In the main picture, there's a contact between the two rowers and the lady, there is definitely a story in this scene. I like how you placed the people within the great spaces of your compositions. The sunshine and the colours are lovely. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

Hello Gert,
I like this minimalistic composition. The red kayak is counter-balanced nicely with the person in the tube.

Hello Gert
I missed a lot of remarkable and interesting pictures to comment that you posted the last weeks. I will certainly find some time to comment some of them in the next days. A remarkable series showing the past and also telling something about the world we live in today. In this picture you make clear that there also must be a time to relax.

Dear Gert
Glad to see you in your gallery and digital photography.
As a child I'm on vacation on the Croatian coast, which was then part of Yugoslavia.
There were some very good memories and later all the memories of the war that broke out there took place.
Very nice minimalist composition, relaxed atmosphere typical of a holiday.
Also two stunning photos in the workshop.
Kind regards

Hi Gert
Superb minimalism and also great combination of colours. I really like red vessels on blue water (if you look at my photos from Canada you will find a proof of that...). The dramatis personae nicely placed within the frame.
The WS photo of the two men in water is really funny and also another perfect example of minimalism.
Greetings from the flight, eventually delayed by 2 hours.

Hello Gert,
I think that this time my preference goes to both pictures in the workshop.
One for the excellent capture of the beautiful colours in the transparent water and the other one for the composition that pleases me a lot.
Strange place for you to go on a holiday :)
Best regards, Paul

very beautiful this sample of minimalism in a photo. I liked the way you framed the boat in a corner and the girl in the other side with these beautiful blue waters dominating the compo.

Suveränt minimalistiskt och dessutom komponerat på ett synnerligen välbalanserat sätt. En enkel och självklar bild.

Hi Gert
First off, i got your email, thank you. I hope my drone doesn't get attacked like that! I have had seagulls divebomb it, but not actually GRAB it with claws! cool photo.
simple scene, simple photo, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy it. the space in between the two sets of people is what makes the shot, at least in my opinion. it extends the scene side to side. also, the girl on the tube looks so lonely! lol
but in a funny way, her disposition suggests she's thinking...can I just go home now haha
Cheers

Hei Gert
Less is more. Dette er et fint minimalistisk bilde der kajakken og den badende kvinnen er perfekt plassert i hver sitt hjørne. Den røde farkosten står fint fram mot den blå bakgrunnen. Ser man på de vedlagte bildene i WS, ser det ut til at vannet er svært klart. Veldig bra:)
