Description
“One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach; one can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few”
- Anne Morrow Lindbergh
**************
For Akemi (nongo) and Dave (Punaguy), two wonderfully sweet and talented people, here at RR, who asked for another 'beach' shot on my last upload:
"The Swell Season"
With my deepest thanks for your friendship and most generous support of my efforts. You're both such sweethearts. :^)
Have a wonderful day/evening all.

Such a beautiful portrait and a very sweet dedi to these two great people! I love the way she is posing... definately a feeling of "Freedom" here! You picked a great title for this one my friend!! :-)
Perfect exposure on this, wonderful detail, good composition - maybe a touch too much headroom- but that is not a detractor.
very lovely shot of her. cool looking beach too
Excellent shot.
Genial compo, superbly done and beautiful ! Pic and model.
Awwwwww Marlene, she's definitely feeling free in this image. Thanks for the sweet dedi, you're a sweetie yourself!!!! I really know this feeling of just soaking it in... the smells, the sun, the wind, the peacefulness... How wonderful this mood, captured!!!! love the clouds too!! and thanks for remembering... Hope you're having a great week!! hugs...
Outstanding expressive portrait - as others have said the pose and the quality of capture give this one something special the viewer can feel the sea breeze, smell the salt and feel the warmth of the sun. Great work Marlene :)
perfect, just perfect
outstanding capture.you know how to work the camera
Great shot...
Fabulous POV, DOF, vivid colors, clarity, lighting and an awesome background in this beach capture, M! Oh, did I mention that this blond marvel is HOT!!!!

I have not figured out how you do that yet but I will be picking your brain. and when I do dont be bragging about the beach and oh how nice it was we did this and that and oh when we......... AAAGGGHHHHHH lol 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++ hide that damn rate button on me again did ya?
You so rock!! Man what a quality looking shot here Marlene...of course your daughter just rocks in this shot against the beach backdrop. Big Mahalo's for the sweet dedi here...I think it's time you had your daughter start appearing in magazines she's got the poses and attitude down...Great looking shot that really pops, amazing work girl! I know I'm being greedy, but...more por favor! A pleasant and relaxing week to you! Aloha~
She should have turned towards the camera and the wind should have caught her hair flowing, providing it a better pose... Btw am expected to hit America once again, let me know which state you are in...
Such a fitting title for this beauty. Perfect composition and light. You are very gifted sweetie! Wish you a great summer! Sometimes, but only for short moments, I can wish me young and beautiful. But that does not last long. I love my life as a little old lady, and would not change back. Years adds so much to your life, of the small good things, and the gratefulness they give.
Beautiful! The sky looks fantastic, not at all washed out! Oh and the girl is not bad either ;)
