Hello Tony,
A superb view over the city nicely framed by the beautiful green hill and tree, making for a cityscape out of the ordinary. Very good colours and clarity, with lots to take in and contemplate.

Hi Tony. Wonderful lush spring photo. Well framed with the tree on the right, just leaving the Skytower in view! Nice work and thanks for sharing.

Hello Tony
Did you get out to get some captures this evening? Beautiful lush greens with clean and crisp capture throughout and impeccable sharpness. You did very well to just get the sky tower under the branch. Ill call you next friday about meeting up some point.
Regards
Jim

Hi Tony,
It's good to meet You here also beside TN. Just came home from my Greek vacation.
Beautiful view of the city, with amazing greenery in the foreground. First of all, before reading the note I thought the crater seems totally like an old Greek theatre covered with grass - but immediately realized there aren't old Greek theatres in NZ. :)
Tfs this great shot, have a nice weekend, too. Cheers from Hungary, László

Miha2ou7 (4993) 2008-09-26 3:07

Hey Tony.

Love it - a mixture of nature and the nice Aucland skyline in the background. Composed expertly, with the tree and the slope. The many layers give off a sense of fullness. Colors, sharpness, clarity - as usual. :)

Best regards.

asajernigan (14898) 2008-09-26 3:57

Tony,
This is a fine shot of beautiful landscape with a large city in the background. The tree provides nice framing for the scene. The foreground landscape provides nice color and contrasts the city in the back. The sky is great and tops off the shot nicely. The lighting and colors are fine with excellent sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

Jakab (3622) 2008-09-26 12:26

Hello Tony,
never a worse postcard! The crater covered by fresh green grass and the well proportioned and placed silhouette give an excellent forground for the view of Auckland - or reversely the city works as interesting background for the crater. Both themes alone are worth of a postcard, composed together ensure a very good picture.
Best whishes
Laszlo

Hi Tony,
A splendid view and a very beautiful photo. I like the composition with the tree framing it. I could not have imagined that be an old volcano crater. Great depth in the photo, good control of light, very beautiful colours and excellent clarity. TFS.
Greetings, Lasse

rodgerg (27003) 2008-09-27 1:39

Hello Tony,

A superb depth of field with a FG well composed with the tree on the side and the green field. I like the contrast between the field and the city in the BG. The sky too is superb and the image is rich in details.
Have a good WE,
Roger

jusninasirun (10573) 2008-09-27 5:40

Hello Tony. I like the view of the crater now flourished with green. The tall tree is very well included in the frame. The view of the city is wonderful with the people walking along the path making up a complete scene. Well done and TFS. Best regards. Jusni

stego (22514) 2008-09-27 9:26

Hi Tony,
You did a beautiful mix of a nature and urban landscapes. Finding the city on the BG is a sudden surprise, which turns out to be a good one because it doesn't look bad at all. The green hill, the furrows and the big silhouette of the tree make a wonderful frame to the city. I like also very much the presence of the people and those clouds on the horizon.
Regards, José.

mark_mk (264) 2008-09-27 11:18

Hi Tony,
lovely shot! I really like how Aucland pops out in the background. Including the tree helped the framing and the colors are very nice. A great shot, thansk for sharing!

Take care
Mark

ElAprendiz (7370) 2008-09-27 16:16

Hello my friend Tony:

I think the greens of the scene are very saturated, though making no stops being charming.

Great frame, good depth of field, excellent POV and a very appropriate lighting, to show us something different to the coasts and beaches in your beautiful country.

The bulk tree to one side, which determines the composition is beautiful.

John

Hi Tony,
the tree with its greens below makes half of the shot, but the following city view is very necessary for context and you achieved an amazing clarity and sharpness there.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

josepmarin (35001) 2008-09-29 10:07

Hi Tony,
The sight on the city is splendid and has a great depth, thanks to this high POV and a very well select setting.
I like the contrast of the great tree with the city in background, and the wonderful light, that gives more strength to the vivid and natural colors, with a few beautiful shades.
It is a very nice photo, in a great work.
Friendly regards from Barcelona,
Josep

siolaw (26392) 2008-10-01 0:11

Hi Tony
Wonderful capture. The greens are splendid and added vivid contrast for the shot. Beautiful lanscape well capture and composed. Well done. Regards, Consuelo

Colombiana (2630) 2008-10-19 10:37

Tony,
That green is unbelievable!
I haven't seen a grass like this in
a long time (in Colombia). The tree is
very nice too; you used it very well to
frame the view of Auckland.
What a nice place to hang out!
Maryori :)

zanzi (5322) 2008-11-03 11:49

Hi Tony
Beautiful composition here with the tree filling up most of the empty sky. The city and the low clouds give a lot of depth.
Bravo

zmey (7296) 2008-12-14 6:29

hi Tony

unusual sight: the age-old tree and the green of the crater emanating peace and calm, while down below - it's a busy, big city.

Beautiful and splendid scenery.

belido (17932) 2009-02-01 5:20

Hi Tony,

what a beautiful view! I would not notice the presence of a volcano in this image. Nature is really wonderful...the presence of the people on the hill creates an illusion of a giant tree! I like to see the beautiful skyscape in the background. Great shot, my friend!
Regards,
Carlos
