Description Taken: La Cusinga Resort, Costa Rica
Editing: Photoshop CS2
My Comments: The title of this photo came from a sign that we saw on a drive in Costa Rica. However, the sign was in the complete opposite of paradise. It was a run down, abandoned farm. So, if I could move the sign anywhere, this is where I would move it. This beach was amazing, a true paradise.

All comments and faves are much appreciated!

What a amazing capture...the viewer seems so close to the water and scene, because u've chosen such a low perspective; I think keeping eye close to the horizon and still having a little downlooking angle was a smart decision.
The ocean seems to have painted the rocks at this shore in a wonderful earthy colour-composition.
Must look rather wonderful at sunny days...

Thanks so much!!
and yes, I'm sure it does look amazing on sunny days... I wouldn't really know though cause I was only there for that day.
Once again, thank you

Great colours and nice reflection although I think the rule of thirds would have worked well here. To me the horizon is just a little high

I love capture of the texture of the sea. It's so smooth.

The cliffs to the left frame it perfectly and I really like the sand-bar jutting out in the middle.
