hope (floats)

Well, I am that soul awake! This is just beautiful. The red is so vivid and bright up against the black sandy shore. Just stunning.

Very cool. Excellent perspective.

...and drifts away with the ebb of the tide. best...jerry

The angle of this shot is dramatic and unique. The black sand sets off the red floats: Superb Image!

fantastic capture 5 stars

I do not know the proverb! Nice picture with just the right colors and shapes in contrast!

Dramatic and full of impact. Love it to bits.

Waiting for the Tide......................What colours and angle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like hot peppers on their black plate, love the perspective and that colony of big red heads hoping for the tide to free them... But maybe they fly away instead of floating if hopes open up to real dreams... Love the play of red and black a lot*

wow
its great ...i love it
the reds is great and wonderful perspective...
bravo dear sharon***

stunning atmosphere , i love the red on the black , well , no doubt , your mind and your soul are very awake ...

Very strong image!

Beautifully composed, nice vivid red!

Fine DOF! Impactful!

what can i say. yes. awesome :) love the colors and composition.

Excellent composition and processing. A great image!

great compo and perspective ! I love your angle, the colors and texture ! I follow the lines of your dream ;-)

Some signals that they invite to follow the line.
Excellent.

Warm greetings

I cannot decide whether to float away with the delight of the image or the wisdom of the proverb . . what a delightful mix they make ! Mega posting.

The ground to another planet. A path strewn with red dreams like small pebbles to show the path. But I wonder what these strange things, drugs? I do not know, you float in an unreal world that reminds me of the MRG! Have a nice day ..

Gorgeous low key light, I love it, mind you I thought I was looking at a bizarre string of red peppers first of all!

wonderful! Great color contrast!

composición de lujo total!!! me encanta esta foto, excelente!!!

Mysterious and sublimate image.
Perfect centring and dreamlike colors.

magique.

I'm wide awake now. And what a pleasure to be woken up by such a beauty. Brilliant, Sharon! If I'm looking at it long enough I think I can see the sky reflected on the beach, smell the salty air & run free. A pearl that goes straight to the heart. All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

drole d'ambiance !

A stunning shot Sharon! The contrast is superb...... ;-)

lovely colors! I like it!!

SUPERB shot Sharon... Love the line of the floats - the red really stands out against the dark sand.

A great angle of view and a strong visual impact with these 2 contrasted colors. Well done.

For me it has the bloody red look of them boxing gloves that carry also a lot of hope for those who are engaging on the vast and unknown ocean of undisputed but so disputed glory.

I love this colorful and wonderful composition. The angle of the shot and that long line of floats is really fine.

Hey, I love the composition in this shot! and the gorgeously saturated colors! :)

Neat capture. Marvelous leading line; draws you right up through the photograph. Love the red. Excellent quote.

Spot on on every detail. The angle, the line leading trough the image and the red color is great.

I know you have a preference for B&W but its nice to see you work in colour, this still packs a melancholy hit.

Simply great, the colors of this photo! I like this.

What amazing colour blasting out.

Very strong red, turning the whole scene to almost 'bloody'
Nice

blue, red terrific.

really love the shot, good strong line of red

A lovely luminous red and a black with sheen all the way to bright.
I hope you did not get your feet wet!

The shot is very interesting.

I love the water effect. The color of the float is superb. It really shows up in the pic.

Fantastic shot, very good compostion, light and color, I like the title very much :)

notre vision accroche à ce rouge écarlate, une compo délicate et réussi, bravo ^^

Una composicion de lujo. El juego de tonos es fantastico!

Saludos

It is good to have so much bright red hope on a rope.

lol they look like a string of stuffed red peppers, but that wouldn't make sense to float up on a beach :) hehe... i like to see you using color!

Wow! Nice idea and nice RED!!

Stunning ... the light's the red's .. realy a great shot and idea

Siperiour processing as usual. Amazing framing as well.

Brilliant use of color and perspective.

A powerful compo, with this wide angle. Colors are nicely saturated and textures enhanced by the sharpness. Great shot Sharon.

Stunning with this processing!

Beautiful depth

I like the contrast in this. thumbs up.

Très chouette image, jolie couleur!

A masterful bit of composition and post....very very well done:) The quote as always is well chosen!

this is awsome, i love it. Great job

This red is magic, I like this dark subject and tonic at a time

This red just pops. Excellent composition.

Great vivid red against the greyish surroundings.

wonderful shot. love that red.

Great pop of red. Stark and alarming. And hopeful...all at the same time!

Great perspective and color. Love the title, too!

great composition - love the mood!

Impressive strong color ! And perspective. Nice processing and nice title with five stars.

looked like read beads of a necklace to me.
somehow the mood is less of hope, but of.. longing. the water's run dry, nothing to keep it afloat.

really like the colours, light (water reflection) and the lines in this photo

A photo full of imagination and creativity, which is what has gotten into the art world.

Superb perspective composition. Well done indeed!

5 stars !

great perspective and minimal mood

Beautiful mood and red fishing balls.

wow, this is a great shot with fantastic colours and a special frame!

les bouées rouges de l'espoir... Superbe!!
Bon dimanche.

Wow - that is fantastic! The color of those buoys are stunning. Did you get wet taking this one? :) Hope you have a great Sunday - cheers - John

Hello Bluechameleon,
Quelle géante a perdu sur la plage son collier de perles rouge ?
Superbe impression.
Amitiés

Outstanding work! The tones and the bold colour red are stunning! Well done *****

yes stunning. really very appealing with that hot red and the soft and cool blues of reflection.

Great shot!!! I love the colours

I would not know how to say what attracts in this image !
It 's because you dare the color in your universe NB, it's the photographed subject, it's the excellent composition !
The set is completed !

fantastic image. those reds are so deep.

Lovely shot...really leads your eye in. Love the contrast and mood too :)

outstanding, love the composition and constrast.

Wonderful composition and the red in this is fantastic against the darkness. All I can say is "amen" to the quote today!

beautiful selective colors here! look at that awesome trail and angle! =] excellent.

Ohh dig this, the colors, composition along with the dof and angle... very nice.

very nice!!!.. .love the effects on this.. bravo.

ooh beautiful work BC!!! these remind me of licorice chews, with a red candy coating!!! YUM! :) but more seriously -- a lovely frame with excellent color and detail!! love the title too of course!!

Really nice, Sharon. The red and your low angle are terrific.

Love it!

Love it too !

wow ! what a what colours ! perfect

So distant in concept from the movie of that title though.

Wow!!! Impresionante composicion, el punto de vista es soberbio... junto al tratamiento aplicado.
Enhorabuena, saludos.

wow! not sure what i'm looking at ... but i like it! looks like a bunch of rotting red peppers! but i'm sure its a buoy or something

Great composition... very well placed objects (deliberately?) although I'm not sure what they are ;-) Great colours

Excelente captura. Un contraste magnífico. Muy bien de texturas.

Its about time I saw some color here! Very well composed shot, you used the 3rds rule and showed depth very well. Very engaging.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!!!

FANTASTICA!

Great picture! with really interesting composition and colors. :)

Absolutely beautiful shot. Well done! The saturation is great.

très bien vu, avec de bien belles couleurs saturées.

i really like this picture.... nice colours!! best wishes... sebastian

Hope Floats, Joy Rises, and this Photo is amazing! The red buoy on it's own a great picture - having it as a repeating linear unit - very eye catching!

That's cool and remarquable again (so scarce to see colors here) and I like it a lot of course, love that oversaturated red gainst that dark sand (almost looking like concrete). Thanks God, we're not lost. :-)

thats a really nice photo with the over saturation of the red!
