About I am back from my vacation on the island Ameland. It was very cold for this time of year (no sunbathing for me this time) so I made a lot of long walks, even when I had to face up the sandstormes, when I took this picture. Yes it was cold, however, the view was beautiful, with the dark clouded sky. No editing on this picture, besides the crop. Enjoy and leave me your comments.

Hi Diana,

This is a really pretty photograph. I've never heard of the island Ameland. What a pretty place to vacation.

Beautiful white sand, and those whitecaps/rolling waves seem to GLOW!!

EXCELLENT capture!
Lori :)

The composition here realy draws you "into" the image...very peaceful and lovely.


Kees and Carolyn    {K:15193} 9/2/2004
Incredible photo! I could look at this one for hours and never get tired of it. Heavy looking clouds! They make the earth and sky look so close together. I'm putting this in favorites!

Hi Diana,

lovely emptiness;
excellent colors - they emphasize the atmosphere of this place


B:)liana    {K:30945} 9/2/2004
wow. really cold atmosphere dear Diana!
Nice to see you back sweety!
Kisses, Biliana


Diana Wiersma   {K:26404} 9/2/2004
Hello Klaas Jan,
Thanks for your comment, but... the horizon IS straight. What you see on the right side are dunes (sandhills), and, ofcourse, much higher then the sealevel. These sanddunes are surrounding the whole island, protecting it from the sea. The tides here are comming very fast; one moment you stand with your feet dry on the sand, and an hour later the water reaches your shoulders. The beaches here are very broad. What you see here is only half the broadness of the beach and when you come a few hours later, the beach is almost gone. I wished you could see this picture in full size, then you would see the straight horizontal line of the sea better I think.
greetings,
Diana.

Great view Diana. In spite of the bad weather it is really beautiful. Must have been very refreshing to walk here.

Hallo Diana,
Je bent weer terug van Ameland
Jammer dat je niet zulks mooi weer hebt gehad. maar gezien jou creativiteit denk ik dat je van de situatie een deugd hebt gemaakt.Dat kun je zien aan deze prachtige zeegezicht wwar je de wind en regn van af kunt lezen,Ik had denk ik iets minder van het strand gecropt
Maar niet te min een prachtige foto en er zullen denk ik wel meer volgen
Beautiful Seascape
Teunis

Hi Diana,

very beautiful image, with great light and mood.
Beautiful white beach and fantastice clouds.

Best regards,Winfried


Diana Wiersma   {K:26404} 9/2/2004
Hallo Teunis,
Speciaal voor jou de originele versie. Zelf had ik voor deze crop gekozen om de wijdsheid van het landschap te benadrukken.
Especially for you the uncropped version.
Diana.



Pamela Fitz   {K:385} 9/2/2004
What an excellent capture of the coldness and wide view! It is fantastic! Nothing more to add.


Hugo de Wolf   {K:184981} 9/2/2004
Hi Diana, Amazingly strong image, with the threatening clouds and the wid swept beaches. Well composed, and I agree, the horizon is perfectly aligned (horizontal), but I can see Klaas Jan's initial thought; the dunes give the perseption of a slight counter clockwise slant. Well exposed, and a very impressive image.

Cheers,

Hugo


Klaas Jan van Egmond   {K:121} 9/2/2004
Hi Diana,

When i opened the image in photoshop i needed to rotate it -0,3 degrees. But maybe it is different in the original file. Like your crop of the image.

Klaas Jan

Don Loseke   {K:32503} 9/2/2004
This has the feel of great emptyness. The slight bit of dark on the right helps the composition. Don. Glad you are back and all rested up.


Gregory McLemore   {K:25312} 9/3/2004
Lovely contrast, the tones and beach, lovely capture,almost hypnotic.


Craig Garland   {K:27077} 9/3/2004
Hi Diana; I think this is beautiful. You've captured a wonderful mood here-- and yes it does lot cold and windy-- much like the Oregon Coast USA where I live. I like this very much-- the dark sliver of land on the right provides a meaningful contrast to the rest of the photo. Very nice! Cheers. Craig

Voici une magnifique image, bien cadrée et bien exposée comme toutes vos photos d'ailleurs, avec un ciel un peu ombrageux qui flotte sur ce plat pays qu'a tant chanté Brel; mais ne vous attristez pas trop car ici aussi il fait souvent froid. Merci pour votre commentaire à propos de ma photo.

Beautiful capture. This is really a great feeling of space!


Carla de Louw   {K:268} 9/4/2004
Great view Diana! This must be a wonderful place to get some peace and rest.


Menno Naber   {K:3567} 9/4/2004
We had a bad summer this year..
Your picture shows it all, a cold beach
The clouds are nice. For me i always find it more
interesting when there is a subject in the picture.
Anyway you got nice portfolio!
Groet Menno


Stephen Bowden   {K:64519} 9/4/2004
Wow what a dark moody, foreboding sky you have captured :-) It looks a beautiful place to visit the island of Ameland (I will have to get my map out lol).
The composition is magnificent, the clouds are great but the sea and smoothness of the sand are really spectacular.
It is a great landscape photo Diana and a lovely choice of frame :-)

Best wishes,
Steve


Jan Symank   {K:15755} 9/4/2004

G.H. Denton   {K:410} 9/4/2004
Very moody landscape. I can almost feel the cold and the wind blowing. Great capture, very spectacular!!


Kim kyungsang   {K:14135} 9/4/2004
Truth superior composition with it is a cool ocean photograph. It meets again and glad. Friend


John Hatziemmanouil   {K:40580} 9/4/2004
Very nice this ona Diana, great darkness at the so heavy clouds, emotional image because of that weather, it effects very nicely. So long beach, fantastic coastline! Great fealling of depth.


Harry Jasper   {K:2910} 9/4/2004
I love it, great perspective it shows the wideness of the sea. If you had chosen a lower position it would have improved this effect But it?s still a perfect image.

Regards Harry


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 9/4/2004

Phillip Swanson   {K:7013} 9/5/2004
wonderful image, remindes me of the Jersey shore when a storm was coming, rough water and wide beach, love it, very great colors and wonderful focus, even though there was probably sand blowing all over, very well done

Jimmy Payne   {K:21163} 9/6/2004
A lovely expansive view of the beach. Even though you could not sunbathe, it must have still been very peaceful and relaxing walking along the beach. I hope you had an enjoyable time.
Regards, Jimmy


Jorg Reif   {K:16020} 9/6/2004
This looks like a wonderful painting itself. Like those subdued colors accentuationg the quiet space ad the contrasting dramatic clouds. Well composed, great effort. Regards Jorg

charlie f. kohn   {K:25475} 9/7/2004
dear diana,
even as i don't feel the cold in your exceptional picture, i very well have a strong feeling of upcoming strong and bad weather. excellent use of technique making a strong impression.
after checking various times i tend to jan's opinion about the horizon. even though it might not be measurably tilting to the left, the impression does. but what the heck, it is strong, excellently seen and captured and the rest is peanuts. congratulations!
un beso

Peter De Rycke   {K:39357} 9/11/2004
SU-PER catch this one .. the wide landscape, the menacing sky .. good choice of long landscape format .. regards, PEter


xy x   {K:41915} 9/12/2004
perfect panorama view and splendid sandstorms effect, gorgeous pastel colours and tones, so beautiful place, even it's cold worthed to be there, awesome moment and scene, incredible captured, congrats, best regards...add to my favourite


Absher Rashid   {K:617} 9/12/2004
i just have two thumbs, if i had more, all of them would've been "thumbs up" at such a wonderful capture. (rate 7+)
you're very lucky that you do get time to visit so many beautiful places so often. otherwise, i m thinking to visit the beautiful northern areas of my country since last two years..:)
anyways, i think the uncropped version is better.
best regards.
absher.


Ilona Krijgsman   {K:10445} 9/14/2004
to me the crop is perfect, wonderful beach and mood..I like it very much


Donna Johnson   {K:9906} 10/12/2004
Wonderful image!! Love the feeling of everything converging - the lines on the sand, the clouds int the sky, the line of waves narrowing toward the point of convergence. Very nice image!!


Nitish Kanabar   {K:2628} 11/8/2004
Wonderful!! I like the panoramic crop and the subtle colors. This is excellent work!


Gustav Miller   {K:309} 11/11/2004
Marvelous sea/landscape image. One of the best of this kind I have ever seen here. Composition,colors,DOF and last not least beautifully framed...it is just perfect IMO. It is pure nature and nothing manipulated with filters or other tools. It sure deserves a higher rating than 5.8...It's a GREAT photographic painting.7+++
Regards,
Gustav


Diana Wiersma   {K:26404} 11/11/2004
Hello Gustav,
Thank you for your nice comment. To be honest.... this is my most favorite picture of the island. The colours didn't need any manipulation because they were just right as it was. I don't care much about the ratings because I know people like more spectacular colours in seascapes and to feel the right atmosphere is so very personal. I am glad that you like it, you know I admire your work and your opinion is important to me. Thanks and greetings,
Diana.


Kristina Kohut   {K:49990} 11/14/2004
Amazing atmosphere! It looks wonderful! I would not have thought it's cold if I didn't read your text. More like warm, but a dangerous storm is on it's way.


Gust@vo Sch3v3rin   {K:121353} 12/20/2004
Hermoso paisaje Diana!...Felicitaciones!
Y gracias por comentar mi foto.
Un abrazo!


Abel Minnée   {K:3769} 12/31/2004
