Hello Tony,
A magnificent sweeping seascape. The cloud filled sky adds much to the atmosphere and provides a very nice ambient light. Some interesting shadow play along the the coastline in the foreground. Fine natural colours and superb clarity.

Hi Tony,
Good vantage point and nice unspoilt looking place. I like the type of light, looking more like end of afternoon, but i saw it was around noon, it gave warm colors...
Sharp and clear
Greetings

Hello Ho

A good seascape, with excellent sharpness & colour. I like the diminishing linear perspective created by the rugged, receding cliffs. Tfs!

cfreire (11647) 2008-05-22 6:06

Hi Tony
Another wonderful shot about this splendid coast. I really guess that is paradise for the surfers. The sea's colors are superb and you've caught well the waves' movement. Beautiful photo! Best regards, Consuelo

trekks (14266) 2008-05-22 6:37

hi Ho

Nicely executed composition. The coastline looks attractive in color tone and contrast. A good pov to show the curved diagonal of cliff, the white waves and blue sky.

Hello Tony,

This is a spectacular shoreline, exposed to perfection. The waves gently rolling in, the vivid colors and the high resolution makes this a memorable photograph.

Warm regards and have a good weekend,

Bulent

Hello Tony,
Not much evidence of autumn, as I feel the landscape looks green and fresh as ever!
But the date tells you're right, as always a lovely coastal scenery but this time time my eyes go to the wonderful sky with the fluffy clouds!
Greetings,

skippy007 (6977) 2008-05-23 3:07

Hello Tony, Lovely clear, well composed scene with beautiful colours, it doesn't look like surf is up on this day, a little white wash but no big waves. Good POV almost as good as the owners of that house have. Well done.
Thanks
Santo

Hello Tony,

Great perspective and good depth in this lovely image.
The rocks together with the white waves leads us farther up to the background.
Excellent composition with the two parts picture, and the lovely light cloudy sky.
Very well done.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hello Tony,

Again, the sea looks so inviting with its greeny-blue tones and its onrushing surf! Are you a surfer? If so, this is Heaven for you!

Great seascape, nice sharpness and great attention to perspective with the receding cliffs!

Have a lovely wekend,
Bev :-)

Hi Tony!
A wonderful view at these cliffs and the nicely colored ocean.The clouds give the image a great depth and I like the contrast between blue and green.
Have a nice weekend,
regards,Leo

aloyho (6109) 2008-05-24 2:23

Hi Tony,
The sky and clouds are beautifully rendered and I also like your timing to have the white surfs in the right position. The inclusion of the branch on the lower right is great but I would prefer just a bit more of it. An appealing shot!!

All the best and a nice weekend. Surfing perhaps!!

Tue (25608) 2008-05-24 3:14

Hi Tony,
A wonderful view along the coastline, the light is really beautiful, especially on the high cliffs. Also the sky full of nicely shaped clouds looks great. Very well done and thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Hello my friend:

Both time without visiting your gallery.

I am very pleased your photos of New Zealand, full of lush beauty. The scenery is spectacular, detailed in a wide depth and a high range of colors, appropriate to the proper use of light.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

John

danos (32302) 2008-05-24 6:57

Hello Tony,
very nice this coastal line from the Maori bay, that looks great. Excellent the contrasted colors and light.But the most i like are the waves that spread on the sand and reach the earth.Informative your note.

Have a nice day,Danos

crckt (7074) 2008-05-25 14:28

Hi TOny,
How many beautiful shots of the coast do you have in your bag right now? One after the other, you just treat us with magnificient views! Thanks for sharing,
Shaeri

JCG (25233) 2008-05-26 1:27

Hi Tony,

The people who live the house in top on the left have a fantastic sight on the ocean !!! This marine panorama is superb and of an excellent clearness. The natural colors are very beautiful and I like much this sky which gives an appreciable relief. This black sand adds a pretty contrast. Thank you Tony.

With all my friendships and with soon,

Jean-Charles

Longroute (9259) 2008-05-26 1:35

A good sense of perspective and a gorgeous sky are the highlights of this picture... and of course the wonderful colours and definition.
Thanks for sharing,
Donato

evanrizo (456) 2008-05-27 11:47

Hi Tony, ooo yes you have autumn there!-:)
How small the world is!!!
A very nice place,the photo has fantastic light colors and contrasts-sharpness.
Have a nice time.
Vangelis

danyy (68628) 2008-05-27 12:22

Bonjour Tony,
quand on est face à de tels endroits, ce serait un sacrilège que de les rater. Bien orienté par rapport au soleil, voici une vue claire et bien exposée, un ciel magnifique.
C'est simple mais très séducteur.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Jakab (3468) 2008-05-28 14:39

Hello Tony,
the crispy sharp rocks and the soft clouds form an interesting complex: as though the clouds were so soft as to enhance the firmness of the rocks. Though automn I don't see remarkable difference to the summer landscapes. Is New Zealand so pleasant in all seasons?
Best whishes
Laszlo

fulvio52 (8314) 2008-05-29 11:23

Hi Tony,
another wonderfully pristine scenery, unspoiled by mankind's greed.
Not many views of this sort left here in Europe, believe me.
Those cliffs, the ocean, the sky... that's all I need to see to be happy.
Have a great day, I'll be catching up with your latest posts soon. I had my mum & sister visiting from Italy for the past ten days.

A big hug,
Fulvio.

stego (22350) 2008-06-02 3:05

Hi Tony,
Your photos of this coast makes me wish much travelling half the world (literally!) just to see it, although I know that NZ has much more to offer to the visitor.
Gorgeous view and clarity. I find that the tree on the lower right corner and the rock in the middle of the sea give a nice balance to the image. Beautiful sky. It doesn't look much like it was sunset, but that isn't a flaw, of course.
Regards, José.

testmaniac (12084) 2008-06-09 21:43

Hi Tony, nice landscape and cool view. Good composition,colors and POV.
TFS and regards,
Phil

josepmarin (33785) 2008-06-16 0:31

Hi Tony,
The sight that offers us your setting is deep and spectacular, with a great beauty in the landscape of the cliffs, a good dynamism of the foam of the waves and a magnificent sky.
The whole set gives a great graphical result, thanks to a good management of the light and a few very beautiful autumns colors.
Nice work, my friend, I like it.
Friendly regards,
Josep

danasam (1057) 2008-07-03 20:12

Hi Ho, i love the contrast and the colors of the blue sky and sea with the excellent DOF, adding on that a perfect POV that delivers an outstanding image, very good job done.
Sam.

Fellini (4958) 2008-07-19 2:00

Kia ora Tony,
A beautiful landscape, which you have caught excellently. I like the curved lines and textures of the waves. The composition is very good and the colors are amazing. THS.
Have a nice week end
Alex
