Aitu Taki Lagoon Photo

Photographer’s Note

Aitu Taki Lagoon is part of the Cook Islands and situated 45 flight minutes northwest of the main island Rarotonga. It consits of one bigger island and many small islands surrounding the lagoon. The best fact is that the beauty of Aitu Taki is only desturbed by one bigger tourist resort with some inevitable 'Overwater Bungalows' all the other small islands are uninhibited and pure. Please excuse some dust on the slide. ;-)

Fantastic contrast between the sky and the sea, Thomas! The colours of both are wonderful - I'm not sure which is more impressive. The light on the trees is beautiful. Lovely simple composition - a great shot.

Guten Tag Thomas

I like the superb duo-tones, of navy blue & turquoise. The minimalist composition is fantastic, with the coral atoll dividing the 2 halves of the image. Good work!

Hi Thomas - the luminous water and dark stormy sky make a fantastic combination, the coconut tree-lined horizon is also a great touch.
