Fraser Island

After walking the long beach shown on my last posting we arrived at Middle Rock, one of the only three volcanic outcrops in Fraser Island, just to be persuaded by a magnificent set of natural pools called Champagne Pools. Let me tell you, nobody can resist such temptation!

These stunning pools provide a very popular swimming hole at low tide with the ocean crashing over the rocks into shallow sandy pools. The foaming water is where the name Champagne Pools comes from. Due to extremely strong currents along this part of the island swimming around the rocks is dangerous and not encouraged at all.

Amazing Picture with strong lines and beatiful natural colors. I like to see the difference between the beige of the beach and the light and deep blue of the sea. Great Photo !! Bye Alex

Hello Antonio! Fantastic lightness. Beautiful colors. Good POV. Amazing seascape. Original composition. Good luck!

Hi Antonio. Yes, very inviting and relatively safe also. I love the colours and clarity you have captured in this shot. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hi Antonio, this is another area I would love to visit, but somehow I don't think we'll have the time. This is a beautiful spot, looks like an awesome place to go for a swim (in the pools that is). How's the weather up there now?

Thanks, John

Hello Antonio,
Gosto das cores do mar assim como da areia da praia. Um lugar encantador.

Abraço,
Magui

Very beautiful seascape full of light and with and extraordinary quality. Perfect composition showing the green at your feet and very nice contrast of blue tones. Fantastic!

Happy weekend.
JR

Olá António,
Mostra-nos aqui uma imagem com bom impacto visual pelas belas cores que apresenta. As piscinas são realmente tentadoras. As silhuetas diminutas das pessoas passam a impressão da imensidão do mar - tal como quando estou numa praia, a visão do oceano não deixa dúvidas sobre a nossa pequenez.
Um abraço,
MCV

Hi Antonio, You are showing some wonderful beachscapes which as an old retired surfie still enjoy seeing where the land meets the sea. Perfectly level horizon at a good ratio. TFS. Murray.

Hello Antonio, Beautiful spot very well captured, love the colours.
Well done

Abraço

Ola Antonio
Este POV e as cores sao verdadeiramente fantasticas, um paraiso !
Excelentes detalhes e manuseamento da luz
Um bom fim de semana
Aires

Hi Antonio,
That's a very instructive note and a nice place to discover. I bet you too swam in those champagne pools ;o)
Though i like the beautiful scenery and the blue shades, i am quite disturbed by the high grain (maybe you pushed sharpening mask too high).
Have a nice week-end!
Pris.

Hello Antonio
Des couleurs superbes avec un mer d'un très beau bleu. Un endroit qui doit être effectivement être très sympathique pour se baigner!!Une très réalisation sur un endroit de rêve.
Amicalement

Ciao Antonio,
Amazing Picture with beatiful natural colors.
exceptional POV seems to me to see people in the sea.
nice work
Giorgio

You have wonderful deep blues here, Antonio and nice ,rich textures. The beach is nicely caught in the arc of the sea and the people add scale and interest. It is nice view of a Fraser Island beach. regards kevin

Hello Antonio, I must salute you for the accumulated marks you collected. Its an honour to view my thought on your great photo.
i almost did not notice the people on the scene, luckily the rules of the third that you apply works well here. great sea and dramatic sky is your real strength here. Your composition is excellent and great sharpness.

Great shot and a manifestation of a skilled photographer. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

regards,
Foozi

Olá António,

Bonita vista paradisiaca, muito bem composta e que só de ver também dá vontade de ir tomar um banho nessas àguas lindas. Nestas praias não existe uma espécie de medusa muito venenosa?
Júlio Jardim

Antonio, this is an interesting shot, the scene is obviously beautiful but the coloring is almost a cold color set. Despite the people in shorts it looks like a winter beach scene. Well seen and presented as usual and it is great to see these views of Oz that we would not otherwise see.

Você compôs muito bem, Antônio. O galho em primeiro plano destacado sobre a areia e o verdadeiro espetáculo de azuis ao fundo, que quase nos faz usar óculos escuros! Uma beleza! Aqueles sortudos nas pequenas piscinas também fazem bom detalhe.
Abraço,
Zeca

Yes another beautiful beach view with fantastic nature colours, i like how you include the people on fg and that pools really inviting people to swimm. A nice compo Antonio, i like it. tfs

daniel

This last series of pictures all have superb color!! The lighting is excellent and the scene is very lovely!! Have a great day!

hi Antonio

Nice view of the coastal scene and high contrast in color, perhaps a little bluish green. Really a great place to relax and visit. I am not sure if the strong color saturation is due to pp work.

tfs, bill

Wonderful shot. This sea emerald is of any beauty.

Olá António,
Que cores! Aquelas piscinas ainda me parecem mais fantásticas que as de Porto Moniz, na Madeira, por terem areia. Aquilo deve ser o máximo para a miudagem (dos 7 aos 77 anos, como o Tintim :-).
Gosto muito do enquadramento, muito bem arranjado, com as pessoas mais uma vez 'bem arrumadas' ao canto.
Um abraço, José.

Olá Antonio,
una hermosa vista marítima, con unos contrastes de tonalidades excelentes y los colores parecen tomar vida. Nos muestras una imagen paradisíaca con una amplia variedad de azules - verdosas tonalidades de la mar y la blanca arena. Un gran POV, con una profundidad de campo excepcional!

Un abrazo, parabéns, Jordi

Ciao Antonio,
beautiful image, where the yellow and the blue one are mixed in thousand tonality. You have really captured the beauty of this suggestive landscape. Compliments.
Ciao
Paolo.

Oi, Antônio
Bela tomada bem composta, trazendo para o primeiro plano parte da vegetação que deu um excelente contra a areia da praia e o belo azul deste mar. Bonita mostra. Um abraço, Consuelo

Bonjours, comme je vais sans doute être absent pour un certains temps, je vais visionner beaucoup de photos et celle que je trouverais jolies, je mettrais un commentaire copié collé et ma femme essaiera de mettre les points pendant mon départ de la maison.
J' espère que cela vous fera quand même plaisir car moi pendant mon opération et mon temps a l' hôpital, vos photo vont me manquer.
belle photo, bonne netteté, belle vue plaisante a visionner.

Amitiés Thomas
Je reviens.

In this photo, the mixture of the blue tones in the sea and their contrast against the rocky golden sand is impressive. Inclusion of a few people at the foreground added life to your photo. Well done !

Hello Antonio,
Excellent composition here with great colours. I like the FG greens set against the blue sea and sky. I notice a couple of people in the pool where it appears to be pretty safe to swim.

Best regards
Alfred

Hello Antonio,

Hi Antonio!
Great shot of this nice place.I loved it swimming there.Good high POV and good composition with the green top of the cliff in the foreground.I like too the deep blue tones of the sea.
Regards,leo

Olá António, não há dúvida que têm um aspecto fenomenal e se eu fosse lá experimentava de certeza. Engraçado que a cor do Champagne está lá, de facto. Está bonita a tua foto com a composição em camadas a começar com o topo da escarpa. A luz não devia estar muito favorável, mas as cores ficaram boas e eu gosto dos contrastes fortes. Nem sequer está muita gente...
Ricardo

Wow.. great POV AND WONDERFULL COLORS IN THE SEASCAPE.. CONGRATS!
