Not quite what I expected....the colours don't seem quite as distinctive, and very hard to pick out figures on the beach...I thought it was because I was looking at a small version far away of the picture...but a bigger version very close up is the same.  Still the colours are soothing and the idea still comes across...probably will hang it in guest room or bathroom...you know how we do that with the ones that aren't awful, but really not up to 'main house' scratch. I gave it four stars because I think any disappointment was due to my expectation...silly because it's very inexpensive, and pleasant enough as I say.  I think I got what I paid for:)
