  …well, this is not the beach – I took the picture in Pamukkale – so this is a rock made of chalk with little pools from where the water runs down the rocks…
  
  …I also don’t like to lay on a beach – but like to walk by the water.

    Yes, you’re right.
    I remember that it was raining that morning – so we had the place nearly to ourselves for half the day…
    …but then all the tourists arrived at once in the afternoon, and we left 🙂

Really funny shot; somehow the overdose of white gives a Pop-Art-feel to the scene, together with the way the figures are posing. Very nice!

  When I came to Pamukkale I first thought it was too crowded – but then I noticed that the people there were very funny – and so I took the picture.
  Thanks for the compliment!

Seriously cool effect! Care to share how went about doing it? Either way I will surely try to mimic it 🙂

  Thank you.
  Well, that was very simple – as the basic picture was already very white due to the chalky rocks I made a monochrome HDR and later reduced the blacks with the histogram and a few other tools. (I probably didn’t use the right terms – my photoshop version is not in English so I’m not sure how they call it there.)

My impression is that this is a winter landscape and the bathers look a little ignorant of it. They have a great time and the guy’s swimsuit is very interesting.

  They must be very tough if they go out like this in winter…
  …I did’t the photography in Pamukkale – so it is chalk and not snow – and the temperatures were mild, as far as I remember.
  
  But yes, one can see it as snow as well.
