Bonjour Tony,
de la profondeur et du vent, une photo qui fait respirer.
Un cadrage efficace, un POV en altitude qui donne du panorama. Les pampas montrent qu'il y a du vent, tout comme les vagues plus bas avec leur écume.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hello Tony,
A superb composition with beautiful light and colours. Perfect clarity as always.

Miha2ou7 (4907) 2008-03-12 1:59

Hey Tony,

Another wow on my behalf. A beautifully composed shot, and a spectacular motive as usual. Perfect DOF and POV and all the other acronyms one can imagine. Let me just stress once more how I envy you, being surrounded by such a scenery. :)

See you around.

resato (428) 2008-03-12 2:15

Hello Toni,
again a picture to leave everything here and jump into it!
Great composition with a very beautiful soft light and natural colours. The choice to include the plants in the foreground adds a lot of interest to this shot.

Hi Tony,
lovely view into the bay with those waves full of foam. The inclusion of the grass and other plants are good for depth and focus too, sharp and clear. And the wind is good presented here.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

macondo (13075) 2008-03-12 6:12

Hi Tony.
A beautiful crystal clear shot, with excellent DOF despite the large aperture. The foreground grasses and the way the next headland juts out from behind the first give the photo real depth. The colours are lovely and bright. My only reservation would be that the horizon could be higher in the composition. Wonderfully sharp coast shot, though.
Regards,
Andrew

dareco (17104) 2008-03-12 6:59

Another very beautiful scene, and I especially like the grass in the foreground. The water color is VERY pretty!!! TFS

A wonderful point of view and excellent light make this image pure pleasure, with clean vivid colours...
Well composed and the feeling of infinity is there!

Hello Tony

Certainly, a scene of lush beauty.

The depth of field highlights a large landscape, and in all areas of the photo, you can see details razor sharp and bright.

Fine shades, and excellent composition. Good handling of light and balanced frame. Congratulations, as always, friend.

Hi Tony,
Wow another magnificent seascape with the turquoise sea and its rolling surf contrast beautifully with the lush summer green of the beach. The sky i lovely but my favorite element to this fine image is the yellow high reeds in the foreground that look so beautiful agains the deep greens.

Hello Tony,
The place from where you took the photo is fantastic, it must be the whole pleasure to contemplate so beautiful perspective.
I like these plants in the first plane that they put a note different from the scenery and give him big depth.
Excellent light, colors and details.
Made well friend.
Cordialmente
Charo

Wandering_Dan (3213) 2008-03-13 11:00

Hi, Tony -

A gorgeous photo, perfect lighting and great composition. (The large branch on the right is the only thing that bothers me a bit; it over-sized for the rest of the vegetation. Matter of taste.)

Best,
Dan

crckt (7072) 2008-03-13 11:09

Hi Tony,
Yet another fascinating view of the coastline! Quite spectacular, the colors have come out really nicely.
Well done,

Hola Tony,
excellent blue and green tonalities creating a photography wonder. Impressive quality of image and brightness. It is a fantastic composition, with a great depth of field and excellent light.
I like the effect that produces the wind on the vegetation and the waves of the sea, great dynamism. My admiration again Tony, magnificent image!!

Best regards, salut, Jordi

josepmarin (33785) 2008-04-17 7:42

Hi Tony,
A beautiful landscape the one that you have caught from this good POV, the image has a great perspective and a great sense of depth, which takes the eyes to us very, very far up to the line of the horizon that separates the sea of the blue sky.
The setting is very well seen, and the elements are very well organized, by the plants in FG, in a good graphical balance.
A great light and beautiful colors, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

mark_mk (246) 2008-04-18 8:07
