Beautiful colors, great sky with well rendered clouds. Lots of volume there. I like it.

cfreire (11647) 2008-06-13 7:57

Hi Tony,
Splendid picture, properly framed. The crags in diagonal leave the picture with dynamism and attractiveness. The colors and contrasts are beautiful with excellent saturation. Good POV indeed. Best Regards, Consuelo

jusninasirun (10209) 2008-06-13 8:05

Hello Tony. The parked cars and a man carrying the surf caught my attention here. Beautiful bay with the cliff in colorful contrast and turquoise water. The sky is beautiful. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend. Regards. Jusni

josepmarin (33831) 2008-06-13 9:00

Hi Tony,
Beautiful landscape in this composition, you have done a good setting with a great balance in the organization of the elements. I like the chromatic strength that you have obtained with a good management of the light, and the beauty that offer us the clouds in the sky, and the sea with the foam of the waves, which contrast with the green tones of the cliff.
The boy with his surfboard is a good detail of what it is possible to do on this splendid coast.
Nice work, my friend.
Best regards from Barcelona,
Josep

Tony,
Excellent composition here using the shoreline and mountain slope to form a diagonal though the shot which divides it in half. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. The sky looks great and forms a nice backdrop for the shot.
TFS,
Asa

Bonsoir Tony

trekks (14320) 2008-06-13 18:36

hi Ho

I guess where there is a carpark, this must be a spot for visitors with some facilities. I like the green slope falling down to the sea providing a nice FG for your composition. Great landscape view of Maori Bay.

tfs, bill

p/s what software do you use for pp work mostly?

gunbud (27951) 2008-06-13 18:47

Hi Tony,
You out due yourself with every coastal image being more beautiful than the last.
The varing shades of lush green foreground makes a subperb contrast to the magnificent blue sky with its beautiful clouds and the sensational turquoise hues of the bay.
The surfer slowly working his way to the car park adds wonderful scale to this beauty.
Regards, Tom

jhm (82679) 2008-06-14 0:41

Hello Tony,

Very nice divided up between the sea and the rocks, this gives a nice composition.
The white waves care for depth and perspective, you have once more captured the great atmosphere of nature.
Nice presentation too, very well done.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Royaldevon (5938) 2008-06-14 0:42

Hello Tony,

I was telling my husband about your shots yesterday and was noting that all your sites seem unspoiled and natural. That is such a boon!
This is one of the few times when people feature, and of course their obligatory cars!
I don't think they spoil the shot at all. In fact, I think the addition of the surfer gives a good idea about the beach conditions and gives an understanding of the scale.
Very nice composition with your usual inclusion of attractive blues and greens.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Charo (31671) 2008-06-14 2:22

Hello Tony,
I like very much this framing in which there is seen the way that rises of the beach with the surfista and his table. A nice perspective in which the human life is present. Excellent colors and quality of image.
Good weekend.
Cordialmente
Charo

fulvio52 (8314) 2008-06-14 3:07

Another PERFECTLY framed, wonderful view, Tony.
Love the square format and the most inventive ocean/sky ratio, tremendously effective!
Amazing clouds, amazing colors, lots of subtle nuances, from the interplay between straight lines and diagonals to the surfboarder walking back to the parking lot, a real pleasure to look at and get lost in this picture. Thanks for sharing, my friend.
Have a great weekend, see ya soon.

Hugs,
Fulvio.

hi Tony,beautiful capture and nice colours!

MarianneS (14302) 2008-06-14 12:53

Hi Tony,
This is another very nice landscape. The colours are superb and the sky is great! I like your composition with this wave arriving in the exact corner.
I regret these cars, but it was probably not possible to call for a breakdown truck to take them away ;-)
Have a good week-end!
Marianne

Hello Tony
Great coastal shot again, perfect saturation of greens and blues, with the cloud formation complimenting the scene well. Like the surfer making his way up the hill.

Hello Tony,

I have to admit your upcoming winter seems to be of the more pleasant kind..!
A classic seaside composition with very attractive colours...
For once I can see sign of human life in your image, hehehe!

Greetings,

Hello Ho,

back again to your favorite spot!
I think the strong points of this photo are the intense blue sky with the scattered clouds which contrasts with the bright green of the grass. Nearly half the image is filled by the earth and the rest by sky and sea. This makes a balanced and attactive composition.
Very fine.
Donato

ElAprendiz (7370) 2008-06-15 9:08

Hello my good friend Tony:

Observe your picture, it is always a cause for satisfaction, because we show the natural beauty of your country, as in this case.

The depth of field, always so characteristic in your points of view, the proper handling of light and shade so clear and defined.

I like the number of items that are presented here: the clouds, sea, people, etc.. Excellent work, as always.

An excellent composition with good proportion of the sky, land and sea. Love the Green slope along side with the waves. The man with his surf board adds life to this shot.

regards
Alfred

Hello Tony!
The more I see your pictures the more I want to visit New Zealand... and I'll do that for sure!

Hello Tony,A spectacular view very well captured from excellent POV. Excellent saturation of colours, I like the little inclusion of surfer carrying his board. Beautiful clear image with excellent clarity.
Well done

capthaddock (28640) 2008-06-16 21:24

Beautiful landscape and sky, I wanted to come to NZ this summer (or winter from your POV), but could not redeem air miles this year (everything was full for the dates I wanted), so I'm going to SE Asia instead.

Bluejeans (32473) 2008-06-18 4:56

Ola Tony,
Que linda esta linha de costa em tons de verde , ficou muito bonito o surfista com a prancha a subir a colina , o céu ficou magnifico , bom enquadramento da foto , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Jakab (3470) 2008-06-19 7:39

Hello Tony,
a pleasant coastal scene again. In contrast to your former photos the colours here are warmer, the grass tends to become yellow and brown showing the change of the season. (But the clouds and the sea do not change their faces.)
Best whishes
Laszlo

JCG (25409) 2008-06-20 11:10

Hi Tony,

Strong contrasts of colors in this photograph, it is very pleasant. This marine landscape seems appreciated by the surfers… I like much this sky which gives relief and a good depth. Thank you for this good bowl for air.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

claudeD (11348) 2008-06-20 11:20

Tony,
the whole scene has a nice 3-D impression. It seems that the clouds are mainly the reason for this impression. At first I had the feeling that the cars are an unnecessary addition to this image, but the longer I look into it the more I'm convinced that it is a integral part of this shot providing a good scale to the whole landscape.
