Hallo Dorte!
Again a photo to dream ... to marvel... to be impressed with the whole atmosphere of this place. The quality of your photo and its build up really are great and I think I can hear the waves and feel the wind...
One of your best pictures - in each respect!
Greetings from rainy Westphalia!

Hello Dorte,
wonderful capture of Nature with lots of its beautiful elements and colours (which in the photo look so natural that I wish I could find myself near the sea right now) :)
Thanks for the workshop photos, too!
regards,
Elena

Hi Dorte. Nice to see your work again.You have captured beautifully this coastal vista, and isn't it true that anywhere you turn there is beauty and open spaces in N.Z.? Lovely POV that incorporates the vast skies, the distant ranges, ocean and at the same time the vegetation in the foreground. Excellent DOF and exposure. Well done. Greetings from a very cold Melbourne. Klaudio.

This is a fabulous picture. Thanks for the view of an area which I did not visit. I stoped in Greymouth, coming from south. Excellent use of the plants in the foreground to give depth to the POV. Well done.

Hi Dorte,
Beautiful view to one of countless beaches in NZ. I like how the inlet curves to the right surronding the bay and white waves. Nice foreground details too. Could benefit with slightly warmer tone adjustment and foreground brightening.

Yes, good to see you back, Dorte. Klaudio said to me yesterday that he thought you must have left TE!
And another beautiful shot of this wonderful coast. You composed this one superbly, using the foreground plants and rocks as a kind of frame for the waves and the clouds. Delightful shot.
I look forward to the pancake rocks photo, as I uploaded one of the pancakes very early in my TE 'career', but it lacks clarity and sharpness I think.
Regards,
Andrew

G'day Dorte!
I was wondering where you'd got to! A lovely shot from the West Coast - it really is a special place, eh? Looking forward to seeing 'the highlight of your trip'!
Best wishes,
Jeff

Hej Dorte,

That surf is amazing, seems like the waves are breaking over fairly shallow waters here!
A good point of view to show the place, and the strong foreground adds a fine feeling of depth...
Attractive sky and a well balanced composition!

Greetings,
