Phantastic pic and choice of title. Sharpness and light is difficult to top. Very well done.

Great picture Fernando! Great DOF and sharpness, nice natural colours. I would like to see the runner in the motion (I mean little smudged) . It could show a dynamic of the scene and contrast between calmness and majesty of the beach. Rgs, Wojtek

I like this! A beautiful beach scene with a good composition. I like the way the lines of sand between the water pools changes texture from smooth to rough. This balances the detail of the runner on the left. The light is good and fairly well handled, but I find the burnt out sun a little distracting. It would almost be better if it wasn't there (i.e. clone away?). Could it also be that the horizon is dropping a tiny fraction to the right? Or is this just an optical illusion caused by the distances involved? Very good image all the same. Thanks for sharing! Regards, Patricia Ann

Exposure is very well controlled and the photo is nicely composed. Maybe the runner is too far into the frame? It's a minor quibble though and not enough to give it less than 3TUs.

Really nice shot! There are only two issues with this shot. It's slightly tilted (horizon shoud be flat) and there is minor amount of barrel distortion. Fix those two things and you have a flawless shot.
