  • Darren Sharp

    Nice mate the balconies and angle makes a good shot!

  • Arzu

    Arzu, 7 months ago

    Great angle, tables and chairs are perfectly arranged, great shot

  • victor

    victor, 7 months ago

    lotta different pictures in this one Paul, they come together wonderfully

  • Juilee P Pryor

    Juilee P Pryor, 7 months ago

    wow this is more like a painting than a photo to be honest…. like an early David Hockney or somesuch thing. I really like this.. its flat and mute yet some how still bursting with a barely restrained vigour…well done.

  • Rod  Adams

    Rod Adams, 7 months ago

    Nice work Paul!!

  • Mel Brackstone

    Mel Brackstone, 7 months ago

    Looks like a building especially built so you could photograph it in your personal style. The repeating patterns and magic colour schemes work so well together!

  • JayVee

    JayVee, 7 months ago

    Very well shot Paul, the pattern is there and you made a fabulous use of it.

  • Antoine Dagobert

    Antoine Dagobert, 7 months ago

    Fantastic shot!

  • SylviaHardy

    SylviaHardy, 7 months ago

    I love this scene Paul, and those people on the balcony looking down to the pool!

  • Suzanne German

    Suzanne German, 7 months ago

    I can’t believe these people are in the pool in December!

  • David Barnes

    David Barnes, 7 months ago

    I think this appeals because it’s like you’ve just used four colours, and not even shades of those colours. Such sparing use of colour is amazing. Have a great trip, Paul!

  • Suzanne German

    Suzanne German, 7 months ago

    ooops…hemisphere confusion!

  • Adrian Donoghue

    Adrian Donoghue, 7 months ago

    Love the elements here Paul, the chairs ,top people, bottom people ,the windows.

  • Paul Tupman

    Paul Tupman, 7 months ago

    I was just thinking that it’s very unusual to see so much work posted from you, but great to see.. This shot has the style that you have really made your own, with the great lines, warm tones and masterful composition. Great stuff!

  • iCandor

    iCandor, 7 months ago

    Excellent pic, warm (how else?) shades of colors. I guess, there was a brief hi level business meeting taking place in the pool w some other key employees participating remotely …from their balconies. Never a dull moment!

  • justimagine

    justimagine, 7 months ago

    Great comp and tones I can really sense the laid back environment here. Well done!

  • Michael Douglass

    Michael Douglass, 7 months ago

  • TalBright

    TalBright, 7 months ago

    perfect !

  • Gerijuliaj

    Gerijuliaj, 7 months ago

    I love the way you take a fairly ordinary scene and give it an almost surreal finish. The lines and composition of the few people on the balconies juxtaposed with the 3 in the pool is perfect. The empty chairs and their placement seem to be beckoning them to come and sit a while. Nice one Paul!

  • BillyLee

    BillyLee, 7 months ago

    Thanks for uploading them all, I enjoy looking at each one. This is a great one.

  • annacuypers

    annacuypers, 7 months ago

    Brian Puhl IPA, 7 months ago

    Great perspective!

  • billyboy

    billyboy, 7 months ago

    Paul, this is unreal. I don’t know how you do it, like I don’t know how you did that Kangaroo and that picture of Rhana and for that matter virtually all of your stuff. I just hope you keep on doing it because it is a major driving force behind the karma of this site. Kudos to you for amazing us all!!

  • billyboy

    billyboy, 7 months ago

    ... Grant got it right… technique is so good I can’t see the processing. There. That’s 2 from BB!

  • Enrico Bettesworth

    Enrico Bettesw..., 7 months ago

    I agree Lindsay… pure magic from the Vanzella master… I love the illustrative graphic nature of this paul and the juxtaposition of rectilinear and the curvilinear and of course the toning is just superb as usual! top job mate!

  • midzing

    midzing, 7 months ago

    Tammy Soulliere, 7 months ago

    This is reminding me of the 60’s for some reason.. That perplexes me.. maybe dejavu.. Dunno But this is great.. Love the colors

  • christophe

    christophe, 6 months ago

    Very nice. I feel both happy for these people enjoying life and sorry because the height of the building tells me there are too many people living at the same place. Your picture tells many stories. Nice composition!

  • Albert1000

    Albert1000, 6 months ago

  • Jodi Tweed

    Jodi Tweed, 6 months ago

  • Justine Carlin

    Justine Carlin, 6 months ago

  • nick board

    nick board, 6 months ago

    Excellent, even without the people, but the way they are balanced in the frame, absolute class.

  • sharrukina malek

  • Birgitta

    Birgitta, 5 months ago

    I love how tiny everything is.
    Totally messes with my head…
    and as always, I knew it was yours because it was on the HP..(haa)
    nah..I knew it was yours within 2 seconds of seeing it there. Your colours/tones
    are unique. :)

  • Mark Ross

    Mark Ross, 2 months ago

    This awkward yet wonderful composition works so well. The figures were so necessary for this to go beyond sheer compositional skill- to bring the entire work alive. You’ve pulled this off well Paul!

  • Carmelh

    Carmelh, 25 days ago

    As they say a picture tells a thousand words….this image makes you wonder all the conversations that are taking place…..in the pool…..the two leaning over the balconies and the two higher up….both couples no doubt wishing they were in that pool….
    Love the colours…...

  • Anette Tyler

    Anette Tyler, 24 days ago
