Paradise on Spice Island, a photo from Saint George, South

Photographer's Note

Beautiful Grenada, how I would like to visit you once more!
This is actually a picture from a slide that I scanned. It has lost some of its quality because it was taken almost 31 years ago on the gorgeous Grand Anse Beach. I can almost imagine myself sitting on the beach sipping a delicious rhum punch while listening to some great Calypso music.
Even though I stayed only 10 days I was able to make friends with many Grenadians. I ended up having over 10 penpals and kept corresponding with a few for over 5 years.
Grenada might be a small island but it sure is big when it comes to scenery.

It's a beauty. All the various shades of orange make for a very fetching scene. Good one!
Best, Matt

Hi Paul - the image quality is not that bad considering the age. The framing is excellent as is the position of the bat just before it crooses the suns reflection.

Paul,
I really like the framing of the photo with the palm leaves. The orange and melon hues of this photograph are quite nice!

Even if you lost quality with the scan, the composition is still good : I like the way you arrange the black silhouettes, and this orange color is just beautiful.
