Hello Tony,
Another excellent morning atmosphere for an early bird. The sky at the horizon always look good as before with little foliage decorating the foreground.

Good job Tony.

Regards,
Jusni

Hi Tony,
lovely evening view into the bay, the waves are wonderful, also the silhouette of the tree. The light at horizon has a good golden glance.

Hi Tony,
Every post of yours featuring these seascapes confirms that NZ deserves its fame of being a gorgeous country.
Hats off for this one - one for the tidy compo, another one for the amazing light and your control over it, one for the overall dreamy mood and finally another for the pleasing effect that looking at it provokes on me.
TFS, Regards, José.

Hola Tony,
to observe during a time this beautiful photography enriches and cheers the spirit.
I like specially the harmony and dynamism of the peculiar waves of the sea, are excellent!!!
The colors are beautiful and magicians and give brightness to the magnificent marine scene. The tree of the right side in black color gives a good resistance to the scene.
Great work my friend.

1 abrazo ( hug ), Jordi

Hello Tony

A scene beautiful and very quiet, as all you have shown in TE New Zealand.
I congratulate you, because you are the people who handled very well the light, as in this case, it is wonderful to see the waves of water in the darkness, taking advantage of the low light that stands out on the horizon.
Great composition.

John

denisn72 (6977) 2008-01-24 14:42

Hello Tony
I like the calm atmosphere and the golden-blue colours of the sky. The silhouette of the tree on the right makes a very good natural framing. Well done!
Best regards
Denis!

Good morning Tony,

Looks magical, a beautiful day for strolling, photography, boating or swimming. It looks more like an Australian landscape as it is dominated by the silhouetted eucalyptus trees to the right. They are an introduced weed in New Zealand, which is a shame (same with the Possums). The ripple effect formed by the succession of waves is beautiful. Image quality is sharp and appealing to the eye. The combination of the early morning yellow and blue tones is terrific. Another triumph.

You know what i think about this pic ...see TN..ehehhe..thanks my friends,ciao,Luciano

aloyho (6109) 2008-01-24 16:50

Hi Tony,
It's seldom frustrating to make that little effort of waking early and this shot is a testimony. A well balanced compositon with the rhythmic ripples giving a nice visual stimulation.The silhouette and the sharpness works perfectly. I would probably clone out those little patches of clouds at the top as they are not contributing very much. Still a lovely shot!!

Regards and a great day.

gunbud (27789) 2008-01-24 17:52

Hi Tony,
Very pleasing wave action capture here to go along with the golden sky that looks so lovely against the blue water. A very relaxing image to start the day.
Regards, Tom

siolaw (25726) 2008-01-25 0:00

Hi Tony,
Nicely composed with FG giving depth and the low light on it making it appear as silhouettes, but sky and sea remained quite bright and blue... Sharpness is fine, framing good too.
A very peaceful atmosphere.
Thanks for the virtual visit of the beaches of New Zealand!

meltemi (9746) 2008-01-25 1:09

Hello Tony,
the golden and almost orange line at the horizon are extremely beautiful on the clear blue background.
One can even see the beautiful reflections in the water. I like also the dark foreground.
A photo with a lot of irresistible atmosphere!
Regards.
Stella

pablominto (40508) 2008-01-25 2:45

Hello Tony,
So you're still an early bird, impressive to be out there at this time of day!
But then you get fantastic views in return, with wonderful colours in the horizon...
Well composed as always, sharp fine details in the silhouettes!
Greetings,

Jakab (3466) 2008-01-26 2:57

Hello Tony,
I am grateful to you for waking up so early and showing me how mysterious and beautiful is the world when the day starts.
The (for me) curious yellow horizon and the soft waves are the most exciting elements placed in a perfect frame of black silhouettes. Observing your picture I feel once I ought to leave the bed in the night so as to assist a daybreak.
Have a nice weekend with very best whishes

trekks (14262) 2008-01-26 3:42

How I envy you with such landscape scenery in NZ, Ho, and great weather. I can imagine you driving around outdoors every weekender and enjoying the beautiful countryside.

This shot is a great example of the different times of day which you can capture a good view. Your pov and composition, as in most shots, are excellent. A nice mood here.

Well done. TFS

Hi Tony,
In your gallery I am discovering beautiful photos, as this one. I like its great aesthetic effect and its nice contrast created by the dark silhouettes in the backlighting of the dawn cut away on the sea and the sky, and its elegant blue tones.
A magnificent graphic result.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi again Tony

This is where I plan to live. I love Laingholm in West Auckland with its native bush and with its simple but beautiful beaches. Love the mood of the cyan tones in the water complimented with a subtle yellow in the sky. Silhouettes finish of image nicely.

Must add you to my profile as your NZ pics are fantastic. Keep them coming
