“I liked the vivid colors from the parasols and the towels, the curve of the waterline, and the bathers across the scene,” says Joe Navin, who took this shot from a road above a beach in Ortigia, Sicily. “The road gives an unusual perspective for a beach shot and it worked well with a wide-angle lens, so it was quite quick to frame and shoot.”
