NEGATIVE SPACE SUN IN ATHENS

While laying on the beach I took this photo. I do not know if it will qualify due to the date. I share it anyway.

[Bep]

Very special.

[Mary Siegle]

I love the various tones of blue and the rainbow effect. FAV

[Louise]

Stunning!!

[Allie]

Love this.

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

Hands down a wonderful fav, for the superb composition.

[Joyce]

Lovely shades of blue and great negative space.

[Gillian]

It's a good one for the technique.

[Sylvia du Toit]

@kwiksilver @thistle @aikimomm @cheekylulu @mcsiegle Thanks!

[Stephanie Swift]

I like the composition and the halo effect, if that's what that curved line is.

[Sam D]

Very cool - The pattern on the umbrella (?) gives it some extra interest.

[Sylvia du Toit]

@tristansmum Stephanie it was not a halo, It was a kind of weather thing that happend. Something about the moist and the temperature. It happend in South Afica and I do have a cut out of a news paper. Must just check where it is and I will report.

[Sylvia du Toit]

@sam_i_am Thanks.

[Nitrogene]

@sdutoit Ohh? That's very interesting, I can't remember ever seeing such a thing.

[Sylvia du Toit]

@nitrogene Thanks I will have a look to see if I can find the nespaper with the article.

[Sylvia du Toit]

@sdutoit I @tristansmum I had a look on the internet. The clouds are called cirrus clouds. The ice particles in the sky reflects the sun and then you see a rainbow effect in the form of a circle. This is the best I can explain. (ha ha in English!)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool shot and I like your pov.

[Sylvia du Toit]

@mittens Thanks

[MoyaC]

@lisamccloskey Thanks.

[Sandy]

Lovely capture and composition. I like your POV, but have no idea what negative space is. It is a FAV though.

[Sylvia du Toit]

@skstein Thanks.

I think they call those circular light orbs "sun dogs", but I'm not sure as most of the ones I've seen were taken in snowy conditions. Usually the challenges and themes require that the shot be taken during the designated time frame, but it's good to post an old shot if you don't have a current one. This works well for negative space- good shot!
