Meelup Beach

I was waiting for this man to get out of the way so I could take this photo, then I actually liked him in the shot, I think the red jacket was actually a bonus.

You're right. The red works and enhances the depth perception of the shot

[Simply Amanda]

Fab mood and colors.

[Annamaria]

Great choice! The red works perfect! Fav

[julia]

Definitely makes the shot..

[Diane]

Great leading lines, shadows, layers and dof. The man brings something to the shot. Nice capture.

[narayani]

The golden rule - "if you see red, shoot it". Definitely makes the shot.

[Jane Martin]

Oh that looks such a lovely place to live! One photo opportunity after another! Love the heavy sky. Oh no! Here I go...on about skies again!

[Margo]

Very nice capture

[Dawn]

Lovely capture

[Babs]

I agree he does add interest to the photo. Love the shoe prints on the steps too.

[Merrelyn]

Ditto on Babs comment 😀

[Tunia McClure]

I agree. He adds something to an already beautiful picture.

[Paul]

I love the way the steps lead the viewer into the frame, and the beach looks lovely. The clouds look a little heavy. Was there a storm coming? I'd have waited for the guy to move too, but you're right, the image does work with him in it 😌

@paul10 thanks Paul, it looked like something was coming, but only some light drizzle in the end. When ever I see skies like that I go into a frantic panic, gather up all my camera gear and head out hoping for something special.

@janemartin Thanks Jane, sometimes I feel like I'm showing off this area, with this being the middle of winter and still beautiful. I'm with you on the skies, I cant help but head out for a shoot when I see the sky like this.
