Bonjour Tony,
Très belle compo bien cadrée et bien équilibrée.
Ce qui est drôle pour nous en Europe, c'est que le mois de mai soit l'automne!
Belle image et belles couleurs.
Amitiés et salutations.

Hi Tony,
excellent capture of the atmosphere of an autumn day at the coast. Just looking at the photo gives relief on a very hot and muggy day! Great perspective.
Thank you for sharing my dear friend!

Hi Tony,
I like the perspective and the depth of this coastal landscape caught perfectly in a setting with an elegant diagonal and a shot angle very well select.
These solitary and desert beaches are very pleasant at sight, and your good photographic work allows us to share and to enjoy all its beauty.
The light and the colors are magnificent, and the image has a high quality, in addition, the waves and its foam they add dynamism to the scene.
Nice shot.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi Tony,
Another great view of the this stunning coast. The beach line on the diagonal, reinforced by the waves and the grass give a great depth and make a lead-in to the green cliff on the BG, where it looks to lie a village.
A very attractive image!
Regards, José.

Hi Tony
A beautiful shot indeed. Autumn scenes are really attractive after the summer heat. I like those beautiful side lines that create a nice optical effect.
Well done

Hi there, my dear friend!
Razor sharp and featuring masterful use of diagonals on top of another wonderful display of vintage Tony Blues!
Amazing scenery, truly amazing. Thanks for sharing!
A BIG HUG from a lazy Dutch summer evening, right before taking a quick walk to the nearest grocery store for beer... he he!
See you soon,
Fulvio.

Hello Tony,
I can hear the waves!!! Mmmh, a wonderful view!
The dark sand offers a great contrast against the vegetation and the white of the waves.
The beach is deserted ... it is probably wonderful to enjoy such a great place on your own.

Marianne

Another fantastic coastal landscape with beautiful turquoise sea and white surf crashing on the dark lava beach.
The foreground grass contrast brilliantly with the sea and sky.
Excellent clarity and razor sharp details to this coastal beauty.

hello Ho

Nice view of the beach and sea from this low angle. The black sandy color is quite interesting, looking unlike the normal beach sand and more like a volcanic ash?

I am surprised why no birds at all?

tfs, bill

Hello Tony,

This has a much wilder appearance than other views I have seen, probably due to the marran grass.
A wonderful sea scape, my friend, with colours and atmosphere to tempt the tired!

It is curious to see black sand ... is it volcanic?

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Each shot from you shows incredible aspects from your homeland Tony, like for example, that all the beaches are always so...solitary!. Here in Spain this is unbelievable, they're always so crowded!...at least in summer, of course! :)

Have a nice weekend

Hey Ton,

A beautiful scene from New Zealand. Talked to this backpacker from NZ in Ireland the other day, about the beautiful beaches you show us - he agreed that NZ has some gorgeous ones. Anyway, a wonderful composition and a great motive.

Best regards.

Bonjour Tony,
j'ai un faible certain pour les photos de la mer où on sent le vent, et où on entend les bruits des vagues. En voici une 100% compatible avec cet amour.
Profondeur et netteté partout, des lumières excellentes.
Un tout bon week-end.
Daniel.

Olá Tony,
mais uma bela praia neo-zelandesa, gosto de todas, só achei a foto meio esverdadeada, talvez um leve ajuste do color-balance corregeria isso.
Parabéns e Abraço
