I just wanted to sit in that chair….and take in the view …funny but you just don’t notice the absence of colour in this. Really loved the reflection on the water only one thing missing me thinks….Me in the chair relaxing with a pineapple drink :)))
Matt Penfold replied

Thanks KarenSue, I reckon that would be a lovely place to sit right now though I lean towards a rum instead of the pineapple juice :-)

Matt Penfold replied

Martini sounds OK, or a rum (though we were drinking far too much duty free gin) Thank you S&ra :-)

:))
Matt Penfold replied

Thanks Ding, you would have loved it there, they had small catamarans# that you could just jump on and take for a sail almost out to the open ocean. And it was warm too :-)

Jordan Busson

Very relaxed, and a great capture.

Mel Brackstone

I like the fact that he’s naked, and looking to catch those dying rays….the light is showing his form beautifully. :)
Matt Penfold replied

I knew it, I always tell people “that Mel Brackstone, she sees things that everyone else misses” Do you think I should put the not safe for workplace filter on?
dinghysailor1

yes i think i would have loved this place too.. hope you had a blast!
sandraellen

@ Mel….....omgosh…you are correct….on the far (out) right, the sun is shining out of his seafront exposure ….and that pointy thing is a brilliant tantalizing touch….be still my heart ….contemplative alright!
Maaaatt…you are genius (comic)

Sometimes the NSFW filter being on brings em running….worth a try, Matt. Meanwhile, I’ll just sit back and enjoy the view ;)
Danielle Knight

How i wish i was sitting on that chair. A very beautiful, peacefull shot, love how you can do a 15sec exposure at that time of day with the IR filter, Really love this Matt.

Yep, that IR filter really does enable some long exposures, thank you so much Danielle, you would have had a lovely time in Fiji snapping away, no time to sit and relax :-)
