On the Rambla, a photo from Montevideo, South

Photographer's Note

Montevideo's waterfront is dominated by the Rambla, a long series of beaches and promenades on the Rio de la Plata. This shot was taken just to the east of Old Town, where the beach section of the Rambla begins; west of here is a sea wall with rocky outcroppings and the remains of older piers and wharves.

This is a nice, representative shot of the Rambla as we saw it on a particularly nice winter day, with children and a dog playing on the beach at low tide, while a couple talks at the end of an old pier, bathed in late afternoon light.

Hello Andrew,
This is a fine composition with a strong and dominant foreground and an interesting background with lots of details to watch. The brown and blue make fine contrasts and the couple on the pier are very nicely situated against the blue.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Andrew,

Thank for presenting us another great area of Uruguay. Your picture is sharp and well lit as usual, I should add. Great framing and composition. The blue colour of the water is impressive.

Hello Andrew - The thing that attracts me to this shot is the strong FG composition with the stone jetty jutting our into the water at a good angle and the couple well placed on the 3rd. The BG detail is also full of DL and beach activity. Well seen and managed. Warm regards Rosemary

Your Uruguay sereis is very intersting, that makes me know this country I have not yet been to. Another impressed shot indeed. Perfect vertical framework and best combination of the front and the rear. Wonderful atmosphere! Thanks for your sharing with the finest shot and have a good Sunday! Best regards,
