About How lucky I am, this panorama was made with my camera that was once full of water falling out of my kayak.
The water is out now but left plenty of dissolved substances which I cannot remove myself.
Didn’t yet clean up the internal lens system but with a strong beam of natural sunlight … no worries.
Using the 12 x zoom to make a sunny beach panorama, I also did an experiment to make the world a little bit more beautiful than it really is.
I’m going to tell you two of my secrets :
First the industrial plant at the horizon, Corus-Hoogovens a big and respected steel maker, I rubbed it away with the clone stamp basic processing software.
Then next, the lovely girl was surrounded by her boyfriend. I could have simply having cut him off :-) , but decided also to use this clone stamp to preserve a maximum of wideness for this seascape panorama and simply removed him with some buckets of fresh seawater. It was a harmless way to get rid of him :-))

In real life it is much more difficult to fight the competition, either in industry, or also a clever and handsome girl probably will never accept this, next showing any interest in taking a bath with a mad photographer like me :-)

Un grand merci chère Nicki.
The seagulls were certainly also happy with all appreciation. Not only fish which counts.

Don't get jealous Peter. The girl even didn't notice the photographer. And if she had seen me it would have been a very cold bath for me.
cheers,
Paul

Thanks a lot for your appreciation Tommaso.
The title was maybe suggesting "better" as good steel, employment and happy girls actually make us also a better world.
Seagulls do not care, they are mostly interested in fish.
cheers,
Paul

It was my pleasure dear Michele to take you to one of my favourite beaches with seagulls. First I had to clean it up a bit for you but I apologize with the garbage I removed your friend by accident,
hugs and kisses from Paul

Glad that you liked all leisure activities Arif, including making the picture.
Rarely I remove these type of artefacts without girl's permission, but here she only considered him as one more crying seagull :-)
cheers,
Paul

Thanks Harry,
glad that you could enjoy better without ugly industry, idem dito boyfriend. However do not forget the merits: excellent steel+employment and further the girl was happy as well: He took her to the beach in a Porsche cabriolet :-)

You are wise man Paul :-)
Much, much beautiful image without industrial plant on the horizon and this shot reminds me so much on shots of our Michele from Oregon and you know her work ... will only bring back her boy friend ... but that is me and my vision of a better world :)
So very beautifully detailed and captivating image full of mood and love really every single detail about it (except needing her boyfriend) and this is where I am going to stop or I am going to become much poetic :)
Morning hugs and wonderful day dear Paul,
srna
