Photographer's Note
An overview of the seaside resort of Budva, looking north & taken from the citadel of this walled city. Probably the best spot to go swimming is from the end of the pier. The water is deep and there is no risk of treading on spiky black sea urchins, which are a risk if entering the water from the beach at right.

Hi Chris, neighbour today
If we ignore the very resorty buildings this is a good photo of a picturesque area, especially the very old area in the foreground with what looks like an ancient chapel that looks along the lines of the tiny one in Kotor. Glorious blue water.
cheers
Ian

Hello Chris, I have planned to go to the Croatian Coast (Ulcinj) in autumn this year, it was not possible. Will be it possible next year? Marvellous composition with this old stone church near the sea. Fantastic colour s, The beach too filled up with the umbrellas but probably one can find a more quiet place. Wonderful composition.
Best regards MAlgo

Greeting.
I was in Budva, she remained in my fond memory.
Beautiful beach and roofs, well shown with beautiful colors, contrast, perspective and good text.
Nice place to relax and socialize on a beautiful beach.
I wish you all the best for the weekend.
Paja.

Hello Chris,
It's a nice view from a good angle, but I enjoy the brick roofs a lot more than the crowded beach. But the water looks good. My first time in Montenegro I spent one week in different places mainly along the coast and decided to spend the entire second week in Budva, just enjoying the local beaches. But every day it rained so hard that I could hardly get out of my simple room except for running to the nearest restaurant for lunch and dinner. So my memories of Budva are a bit dull.
Best regards,
Gert

From the height of the old town walls, Chris, a beautiful bay and beach scenery.
The water color is amazing turquoise, and the sheer cliff has a imposing effect on the photo.
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

Hello Chris,
This high vantage point has allowed you to very clearly reveal the contrasts between the new and the old buildings. The protective nature of the old buildings is sacrificed for luxury and fine views in the new ones!
Lovely sharp exposure and a vast sense of depth.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)
What is the line in the sea? Is it to stop boats intruding on the swimming area?

Bonjour Chris,
Les falaises cadrent bien l'endroit. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails des immeubles et de la plage. J'apprécie les différentes teintes de couleurs d el'eau. Bonne journée.

Hello Chris,
The charming houses with the orange roofs in the bottom right hand corner make a great colour contrast with the clear and calm water. Also the contrast with the modern buildings, the hotels and the crowded beach is striking. Well captured from a good viewpoint.

Hi Chris,a photo of 5 years ago but with many differences compared to my visit in 2006, when some buildings were not there and others were under construction. I thought about doing a WS to see the differences. Obviously the photo is very beautiful and this perspective from the Citadel is very attractive. Have a nice Sunday!

Hello Chris,
A nice contrast of the buildings along the coast.
In the foreground the attraction for the tourists flow and beyond the hotels where the tourists stay and the beach where they rest when they have visited the castle.
Well done
Have a nice Sunday.

Hi Chris,
interesting contrast of the red roofs of the old town in the foreground and the modern style buildings across the bay.
Lovely beach, I remember walking around it towards the famous sculpture. Very original presentation from this lovely town,

Chris, that seaside resort contains old buildings occupied by the residents and modern constructions where the tourists stay. The cove is filled with parasols and beach chairs. The vantage point offers a stunning view. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hi Chris,
A charming photo of a scenic spot, on a lovely sunny day. Lots of interesting features, such as the old buildings in the foreground, the cliffs and the colourful water. But, man, that beach! It would be considered a travesty in Australia - completely covered by umbrellas, chairs and people. You can barely see any sand!
