I could spend so long daydreaming with this. I might just have to do that too. It feels so idealized in one sense and then you realize how possible a set-up it is. It just doesn't seem possible with the chaos of normal, day-to-day life.

Beautiful, captivating photo.

Gorgeous shot! I had to have a nice look at the full view! The beach almost looks deserted and it's sunny but the clouds are so low... Awesome capture!!

Usually sunny skies and beaches in combination give me the creeps, but I like this picture a lot. The clouds look so majestic in the ultramarine sky and seem to engulve the beach like a giant snow-globe. I know I write this quite often, but you really make the most wonderful photographies.

The deepness of the colours is incredible. The angle you used to capture such a vast amount of the beauty of nature is excellent. The girls looks like she doesn't belong, but she isn't even aware of all that surrounds her. We are such fortunate creatures to live in a world so marvelous, and we are fortunate deviants to experience your work. Thank you, Lorraine.

Most of my comment has already been said. Do you read every single one anyway?

Composition perfect, the clouds are incredible. How these things always work with you is beyond me.

the girl with the umbrella is a nice touch.

What I like most is that there's space for the eye to breathe, but without too much blank space. I think it's the horizon that does it.

You're incredible. You're one of my favorite photographers on DA.

i'm not one for beaches, however, this is a great shot and it captures what a beach has to offer... beige sand, clear blue-green water. the clouds give you something to look at in the sky while you're just lying there relaxing... and the haziness of the horizon. i like how this picture doesn't focus on you sitting there, you seem blend in with the rest of the shot... to be honest i noticed the clouds before i noticed you

in all fairness... this shot makes me wanna go and just sit there taking it all in, like i said, i'm not one for beaches

Wonderful shot the clouds look surreal. The greens of the ocean came out magnificent. Did you use any filters for this one?

The shot is so tranquil in the foreground, but it looks like trouble is brewing in the sky...
