Photographer's Note
Andilana beach, in the extreme north of the island of Nosy Be, is undoubtedly the most beautiful of this island. This part I show you is still a meeting place for the local people, while at the far end there is the most luxurious resort on the island. The Andilana beach resort was the first tourist resort to be built here about 30 years ago. When I came here in 1996, the village was closed for bankruptcy, the difficulty of reaching the island in the absence of international flights, had decreed an immediate end. Today it has been resurrected thanks to a famous Italian tour operator that also operates direct flights from Milan and Rome.
La spiaggia di Andilana, nell'estremo nord dell'isola di Nosy Be, è senza dubbio la più bella di questa isola. Questa parte che vi mostro è rimasta ancora luogo di incontro per il popolo locale, mentre nella punta estrema vi è il più lussuoso resort dell'isola. L' Andilana beach resort fu il primo villaggio turistico ad essere costruito qui circa 30 anni fa. Quando venni qui nel 1996, il villaggio era chiuso per fallimento, la difficolta di raggiungere l'isola in mancanza di voli internazionali, ne aveva decretato la fine immediata. Oggi è risorto grazie ad un famoso tour operator italiano che opera anche voli diretti da Milano e Roma.

Bonsoir Luciano,
La distance entre la plage et l'horizon donne de la profondeur à la composition. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails du palmier et de la plage. La lumière donne un bon rendu aux couleurs de l'image. Bonne soirée.

Ciao Caro Luciano,
It must be very tempting for you if there are direct flights from your home town straight to Madagascar. This beach looks very beautiful, and it would be even more attractive if it was a meeting place for local people.
It is surprising just how important that tree is to your composition. It is a strong focal point and its lean helps to guide towards the boats and the wider scene.
My warm regards,
Bev 😊

Hi Luciano
ohhh...ahhh...very nice! lucky for you its an Italian Tour Operator...now I know why you travel here, it all makes sense now. its a lovely scene with the tall extended palm tree reaching out, as if its trying to reach for more sunlight. and it appears you have the entire beach to yourself, you can walk around naked if you want hahaha. Very pleasing visual here for obvious reasons. sweet. cheers

Hi Luciano
Unfortunately there are no direct flights from Australia - you have to go half way round the world and back again.
Great photo featuring all the local boats and the very leaning cocnut palm.
cheers

Ciao Luciano
spiaggia, mare e la classica palma inclinata, tre elementi che attirano l'attenzione, ma la foto offre molto di più, le barche pronte per la pesca e una bella esposizione di pitture locali.
È proprio un bel quadretto.
Saluti Carlo

Salut Luciano,
Une belle composition avec la vue de cette plage, du cocotier penché et des bateaux sur le sable qui donnent un aspect très dépaysant à cette présentation.

Bonjour, cher ami Luciano,

Le plaisir est grand de contempler un tel paysage, et cela réchauffe les yeux et le corps.
Très jolie réalisation.

Ciao Luciano,
Of course, the paradise beach from you. The bent palm tree looks very picturesque against the sea and sky, some nice boats and no people. Charming view.
Have a nice day

Hello Luciano,
A beautiful picture with a number of attractive details. In the first place, of course, the almost blown palm tree, but also the boats on the beach and the fish fowl and the sale of paintings make the photo extra attractive.
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Hi Luciano
This looks similar to El Nido in the Philippines. Good sharpness and the coconut palm adds a suitable tropical mood. Excellent sharpness and lighting. Tfs!

Hello Luciano,
What a beautiful photo of this white beach and the overhanging palm tree in front of the calm, clear blue sea. I looks like paradise. The boats are nicely scattered around the foreground and the shades add a good contrast as well.

Hello Luciano,
You must have been happy to find this beach, just to your taste. Fine sand to walk and rest on, and beautiful photogenic views. The only drawback would be to find yourself in a crowd of your own fellow-countrymen. At least I wouldn't like that. But this palm leans nicely into the picture, above the horizon, and the small boats are good eye-catchers. The light couldn't have been better.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Luciano,
This is no doubt about it a beautiful composition. The palm tree bent by the wind makes an excellent natural frame and I like the light and shadow contrasts. Perfect exposure with superb colour contrasts and impeccable sharpness.

Hello Luciano,
The palm tree leans beautifully over into the good direction.
It's almost possible to walk on its trunk to the top.
The sea has a very pretty blue colour and lots of fishing boats are spread over the beach.
Perhaps you should go back once (you have direct flights, I understood) when the fishermen return from the sea with their catch.
Best regards, Paul

Ciao Luciano,
This is another lovely view from the beach of Madagascar. I like the play of light and shadow, and the small boats resting on the sand. It looks like a very tranquil place. That one palm tree adds a nice focal point, too.

Ciao Luciano,
Good choice to add the palm bent tree upon the 'empty' sky space. It added extra color & dimension to the beach scenery.
Boats with nets waiting for yet another fishing session.
Saluti e arrivederci,

Ciao caro Luciano,
I do believe that this picture was taken on the same beach I visited with my daughter in 2001, but yours is a much more beautiful photograph with lovely light and fine colours and excellent details.
An idyllic place indeed!
Beautiful!
Kind Regards,
John.
P.S. Interestingly, when we were there, the "lady in charge" was a French woman who called herself "Mme Veronica": she had also met us on our arrival at the airfield in Hell-Ville and thrown garlands of flowers around our necks! The only Italian we met was a man who ran a small grocery store in Dzamandzar - he was a very pleasant man but his store had very limited provisions.

Ciao Luciano,
you are so lucky to have direct flights to such interesting destinations!
I think beaches are quite important element of the travel, a place where you can get a well deserved rest after all the intense sightseeing, so I am surprised that some people like emka are laughing at it, showing it almost as if not worthy a photographers time.
But here you have well combined both worlds: some local boat touch and the beach in one.
Lovely composition with the bend palm tree.
Very well done,
M

Hi Luciano.
a wonderful composition of this beautiful solitary beach, only with those curious boats, ideal the effect of that palm tree inclined in the image.
A beautiful color, as well as a magnificent management of brightness and sharpness, to enjoy the details.
Well seen and done. I like it.
I wish you a Merry Christmas, together with family and friends.
Very best regards.
Luis.
