Wild Wharariki Photo

Photographer’s Note

Sometimes, it's hard to write a description about an image, and it's simply best to let the picture tell the story: this special evening sunset over New Zealand's wild and beautiful Wharariki Beach is just one of those moments.

From a RAW image, cropped & resized for TE.

Très jolie photo. Les couleurs sont superbes, l'opposition du ciel et de la mer bleu avec les couleurs orangées de la pierre est efficace. Félicitation

Hello Jeff! Oh yes, this looks pretty wild and I would rather stay at the beach, enjoying the spectacle from the safe side :) Very nice the light on the rock with the dark sky overhead and I only agree, sometimes you need not many words to explain what you felt ... Well done, I like it. Barbara.

P.S. are that clouds above the center of the rock?

Hi Jeff .
To day for the first time since I returned , I have been looking at photos from N.Z. and I feel I look at them in a different now :o).
This photo is absolutely gorgeous . I did not have the opportunity to be there myself , but this is a very beautiful place . The lighting is smooth , warm and just perfect to set out the dramatic sky and the fantastic structures of the cliffs.
I'll be back soon :o)
Cheers
Dorte.

It is indeed a magnificent evening shot, using the last sunrays to lit this great scenery while capturing the waves is a real feat, the colors are powerfull and the moment priceless.
