I would publish all your images in a book and get lots of money from it!

Congratulations on your 100th posting...for a hundred you get an overwhelming response from thousands of viewers, you deserved it dude.

Your humility and down-to-earth appreciation of nature has been felt here in TE. Your images looks effortless, capturing the image itself with the reason for taking it, the way it should be. You filled TE's gallery with God's gift which you have the eye in sharing it to us all.

And this photo to celebrate the event is, as usual, magnificent, with a setting adapted to this beautiful landscape of a coast with virgin beaches, in a deep and very clean image, and with a great work in the management of the light and of the colors.
I like the graphical balance of the set, and the tranquility that inspires us on having looked at it.
A beautiful work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

As usual, the view is stunning and the compo is impeccable, with the rocks on the FG, the trees on the right, the hills on the distance and a picturesque blue sky with white fluffy clouds.

Hi Tony,
Very lovely landscape, good light and composition, i like this small beach between rocks in the foreground.Well taken.

aloyho (6109) 2008-07-15 2:41

Hi Tony
A well chosen shot for this milestone of yours and a definate keeper. I like the nicely chosen viewpoint and the clouds that sort of repeat that of the rocks below. I also enjoyed the silence with just a little murmur from the small breaking waves. A shot for the stressed out executive! Well done!!

Regards and a belated congratulations.

Jakab (3470) 2008-07-25 16:13

Hello Tony,
I agree with you, without the nice pictures here I would not no many beatiful parts of the world. And this is true of course for your excellent pictures from the (for me) so remote part of earth. But the motive alone is not enough for transmitting the experience, the personality of the photographer is as important as the motive itself. Many thanks for sharing your experiences and for giving us a piece of yourself.
Congratulations for the (first) 100 excellent photos!
Laszlo

sunamoon (5057) 2008-10-14 9:55
