Morning Walk Photo

Photographer’s Note

I wanted to visit this place since I read a story in a portuguese newspaper about it, a few years ago.
In 2003 I had the chance. The guy in the newspaper took 3 days to visit it so I decided I would do it in one, after driving from Sydney to Melbourne and from Melbourne to there...I'm not sure but that's over 1000 kms for sure...you guys down under tell me :)
Anywway, it was an adventure...first time driving on the left, one way streets on the wrong way, a speeding ticket...and so on. It's funny to talk about it now but it wasn't so funny when it happened.
It is indeed one of the most beautiful ocean drives you can take.

Beautiful image Mauricio. I like very much colours of sand and sky. Very fine composition with the girl on the first plan creating point of interest...

Very nice shot with this woman and the footprints...
The sky is beautiful and the ocean too.

Hello Mauricio,
A really great shoot this one, nice compo, good point of view, perfect light.
Weren't the Gibsons steps to difficult to climb?
We were obliged to do it in a hurry because a big big rain was coming and we arrived just in time at the car, not so happy weather as yours.

Hi Mauricio,

Good compo with the big part of sky, beautiful morning light.
I like the waves !
Well done

Très beau paysage avec un très belle saturation du ciel. La verticalité du cliché s'imposait avec la présence du rocher en arrière plan. Toutefois, pour ce type de photo, j'urais aimé que les pas dans le sable démarre dans le coin inférieur droit et nous laisse vois un peu plus de cette plage qui semble magnifique.

Bonjour Mauricio
Très Très belle photo, un cadrage parfait, cette jeune femme dynamise la photo et guide notre regard vers ce magnifique rocher. La lumière est sublime, encore bravo!!

Hi Mauricio,

A very nice place indeed ! I like this parallelism between the waves and the clouds. Really well done, with bright colours and nice composition. I would have prefered less footprints, but well, not a big deal here :o)

Cheers,
Youssef.

Stunning landscape Mauricio. Very good perspective and depth here. The colours are simply outstanding. Very well done!

Beautiful picture, I like the landscape and the quality of the picture, clear and crisp.
There is also a good perspective with these footprints.
Well done
Luan

The angles of the foam and the clouds give this picture a dramatic perspective, Mauricio. The colour, to, is very attrantive. Regards Kevin

Hello Mauricios
It is a really great picture the perspective is beautiful and I remember how beautiful it was tio travel in this part of Australia.
Unhappily I think one of the Twelve Apostles collapsed.
Thanks for that
Laetitia
