Hola Tony, new image of Auckland with a brightness and special colors, of great quality. Excellent depth, and dynamism thanks to the movement of waters. The line that forms the bridge crossing the composition creates a beautiful visual effect and distribution in the photography. Great creation my friend!!

Un abrazo, Jordi

Hi, friend.
It's another beautiful capture about this harbour. This picture is well framed by this tree and by some vegetation and rocks in the foreground. In adition, the boats are nice giving action for the composition. Good work. Regards, Consuelo

Hello Tony,
Bridge always make good subject for composition. First, you have managed your fg really well. The rocks and tree on the left is your signature composition. The sailboats are a bonus. And just look at that sky. Any landscape shot will look good against that pretty blue sky.
Best regards,
Jusni

Hello Tony,

Another nice piece from Auckland City. I have been over that bridge many times, it makes a good centerpiece to the harbour. I recall seeing people bungee jumping from under it once. Along with the Sydney Harbor and Brisbane Story Bridges, this one is the only bridge in the world you are allowed to climb. To improve here, I might crop away about 1/4 from the top to generate a panoramic feel and also may have exposed the tree a little more so the shadow was not so dark. Regardless, it remains a beautiful scene, topped off with the beauty of the two boats.

Hi Tony

The navigational height of the bridge does not appear high, and I would imagine not a tall vessel would sail through under it. The bridge itself is an old construction technique. But steel arches still make good aesthetic views up to modern day.

From this angle, it can be seen that sea tide level will not be very severely affecting the channel.

I like your capture in this composition, Tony, and the low pov to have the bridge from end to end, with a little FG, sailboats, green water and blue sky.

A sunrise or sunset view may be?

Good work. TFS

Hi Tony,
another little pearl of yours... great POV and your usual fantastic colors in this one.
Nice and peaceful, buddy! I'd love to just sit out here and have a couple beers, watching those boats sail by!
Cheers,
Fulvio.

Hi Tony,
pretty moment of nice sunlight with some people enjoying the day on their boats. The grass in front, the tree, the view over the water and the bridge, all together something relaxing for the eye.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Veo que has dejado las playas solitarias y has regresado a la "civilización". Una toma con mucha profundidad, bonitos colores y el dinamismo que aportan los barcos. Buen trabajo.

Hi Tony,
Very good summer feel to the photo. An invitation to go out & do something. Unfortunately, I'm here ... sun is not too friendly. Nice framing at bottom & right and the boats are all well positioned. Regards. Latiff.

Hello Tony,
superb framing and and you took the image at the time when the sailing ships seem to touch the central arch of the bridge. It is beautiful and interesting image of New Zealand.

Jakab (3496) 2008-01-19 5:57

Hello Tony,
the well composed foregrund produces an effect as if the viewer would be in fact on place. Calm, harmonic and somehow really personal.
Have a nice weekend!

Hi Tony,
A slight departure from your typical offering of beautiful loney beaches. This is a lovley capture of the sailors enjoying the beautiful summer weather just a short distance from the great city. Excellent clear crisp colors with fine details and sharpness.

Hi Tony,

Wonderful summer shot. The tree and the rocks are a perfect lead in to the sailing boats that are the the main subject here. I really like the inclusion of the Habour bridge that tells us that we are in Auckland. TFS and have a nice day!

Cheers,

Ulf
