Taken in September 2007 in Daytona Beach, Florida. During those days, the beach had a beautiful haze to it. I took this photo of the people because they made a nice grouping and I liked the hot pink bathing suit and umbrella. They were looking straight at me, but nobody said anything.
Originally, I was going to submit this to the Impressionism challenge. However, I was staying at my mom's and couldn't get the computer issue straightened out in time for the deadline. So it landed in my portfolio.
This is a reedit: crop, levels, resize, sharpen, levels, color balance, Virtual Photographer soft filter.

a stunning image alicia .. it really is quite beautiful .. love the soft pastel look .. very dreamy .. wot a shame it didnt end up on your profile page .. bummer .. it would'v looked so good there .. :)
Oh I must have voted too fast because I do not remember this while voting. I love the dreamy, soft effect. It looks like the people there are floating on a cloud. This is so cool!
what a beautiful array of pastal colours and the reflection of the group of people in the wet sand works wonderfully. This has the feel of an impressionist painting, so full of light. Super shot
Your title at least conveys that you purposely processed the image the way you do, however, I unforetunately do not like the result. Also your angle is not the greatest as it brings in the buildings in the background. With your title, I would have changed the angle to come more from the left where the buildings would not be in the image and you would be looking out at the ocean like your subjects. The processing may have worked better for me from that perspective. Good Luck. 4.
I like the perspective of the string of buildings, and that the only really bright color is where the people are. The foreground seems kind of washed out, and I feel like the image needs more contrast all the way around.
