Living the dream...


That azure blue Mediterranean, a beach, a palm, a glass or two of wine - this man would seem to be living the dream, wouldn't you say?

  1. Very nice!
    I love the composition and the "framing" too.

  2. He is someone to envy! Are those extra glasses his....or did he have company? :)

  3. He must have had company, Bibi. I rather wondered the same at first.

  4. Oh Jilly I was thinking of this photo this morning, hoping you would post it soon. I just love it!
    Your composition is just right.

    Living the dream yes... but it gets even better in good company and that's what I had when I visited Menton. I lived the dream!

  5. And I can see you did crop the photo to give it a "wide screen" format.

    It works beautifully. You get a feeling of being at the movies when you see this photo!

  6. Nathalie, I so agree about the good company - meaning you! But no I didn't crop the photo. I remember your saying you liked it as it is - that feeling of a wide format so apart from a fraction - barely a centimetre - taken off the left, it stayed as it was.

  7. Oh and what a beautiful dream it is --- and yes it is nice to share the dream with other like minded people. Glad it had extra glasses. Can one really take a bad picture there, I wonder? Have not seen one yet and probably never will.

  8. You've captured this so beautifully. Whether he wakes up from this dream or not, there will always be this moment because you've preserved it.

  11. Jilly,
    We photographers can second guess ourselves can't we! I agree with Nathalie, it is just right. He seems pretty content. Perhaps his life is as good as it seems to us!

  13. Ah, I missed the extra glasses upon first glance and only realised when the comments drew my attention to them. My first thought was that he was dreaming his dream alone. I do hope that was not the case ...

    For me, it always does.....
