Hi Ho,
This is a wonderful capture of the coastal landscape.Like the minute details and textures of the sea waves that you are able to capture.The sunlight reflecting on the sea water has created a wonderful ambience.Like the inclusion of the shore with those foot step marks in it - has given the measure of the scale as well.
Greetings from India,
Dhurjati

Hey Ton,

Wonderful work as usual. Lovely shutter work apparently. The photo itself has a lot of details and is nicely composed, perfectly straight and "disciplined", good show.

See you around.

Hi Tony,

The beach alone is a pleasant environment to meditate, reflect.

The depth of field, with the deep blue sea combined with the sky, are all elements that can inspire, in poetic form ...

Beautiful scenery, undoubtedly, my friend.

Charo (31651) 2008-03-31 14:09

Hello Tony,
Back to your beach scenes you go so well. I love the brightness and texture of water and the wave about to break with its curved transparent. Good work friend.
Sincerely
Charo

Truja (4948) 2008-03-31 14:11

Hola Tony,
I have envies (positively speaking) of this image: by the excellent photographic technique and the wonder of the place, it is a paradise.
Fantastic light, is radiating and shining and the reflections of the sun create fantastic a visual effect. Great depth of image throughout crystalline and blue waters.
Another excellent detail is the tracks on the sand, is a symbol of the passage of the man by this beautiful place!

Best regards, un abrazo, Jordi

cfreire (11647) 2008-03-31 15:08

This waves creates a nice movement, we can nearly hear it. I like the clarity of your shot, it gives a silver tone to the water.

Hi Tony,
I love this play of light on the water, seeing all the "single rays of sun" reflected. Good angle with diagonal lines and also some beach. Wonderful sharpness.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Longroute (8915) 2008-04-01 3:04

Ah! Tony,
you hit the target where I failed so many times!
I spent so much time trying to shoot at waves with poor results.
This picture of yours is like a school for me, looking at it I can understand (hopefully) what was missing in mines.
Thank you for sharing this wanderful marine photo,
Ciao,
Donato

pablominto (40056) 2008-04-01 3:08

Hello Tony,
The surf has been captured with great details!
Pin sharp and with good colours, and the backlight adds this fine shimnmering effect...
A well balanced composition, with strong diagonal lines!

Hello Tony,

This is a sensational summer shot of the coast of Coromandel on January 1 (when we in the Northern Hemisphere) were feeling the brunt of our winter. I like the idea of shooting into the sun and getting the microscopic reflections you've achieved from the foam and bubbles. Warm regards,

Bulent

Emile (19811) 2008-04-03 6:42

Hola Tony.
One of the most difficult shots to get good results are those taken with the sun against your camera and you were able to capture an excellent one in that condition, the reflection on the sea is very good and your composition is superb. Well done. TFS.
Best regards.

captainsgirl (3446) 2008-04-03 9:09

Hi Tony,
Love it, the sparkling water and the footprints in the sand, a lovely photo, warms me up!! TFS

Royaldevon (5824) 2008-04-03 9:16

Hello Tony,

Lovely diagonal composition.
The sun on the sea has created a lovely silvery effect, particularly at the edge of the surf.
Excellent, warm summery colours.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

siolaw (25702) 2008-04-03 23:40

Hi Tony
You got nice reflecting shine on the water, and the POV is well chosen with the diagonal shoreline and nicely silhouetted small islands in BG. Colors and sharpness are flawless.

Hi Tony,

your gallery is full of great photos. I have much fun checking your front page because I always find an interesting composition. This one is a good example. Shooting against the sun is not really easy but you did a very good job in here. The perspective and the reflection on the waves are such nice features. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos
