Bon dia Tony,
wowww!! beautiful and nice landscape. The point of view is impressive giving depth to the image. The calmed waters of soft tonalities are beautiful. Excelent colors and fantastic composition.
I like specially the sensation of calmness and tranquility of the environment and both houses in the middle of the vegetation!!!

Hello Tony,

I find your picture more than simplicity, it is a wonderful image with a great composition and very pleasant colours too.
I like the curve of the beach and the and the green trees as decor, very well done, this is lovely.
Thanks for sharing.

Best regards,
John.

Hello Tony!
Really lovely beach! I like it, very friendly and calm!
Tree is very nice at the right side!
Greetings
Agnes

Hi Tony,
Nice seaside image, I like how the tree and the beach curve draw the eye to the house, I find framing a bit tight on both sides, going for a stitch of two would have been a good option here I think.
Have a nice day JY

Hi, Tony,
a pleasure to see another of you lovely shots. The light and contrast are excellent and as always, your colors are just wonderful. I like the tree framing it and the curve of the beach that takes the eye around to that great sky. Well balanced and nicely divided. This is really, really nice. Thanks and warm regards,
Shelly

Hello Tony,

I like how the curve of the bay leads the eye round to the lovely buildings! The trees act as a triangular division between the blues and the turquoises of the sky and sea! Lovely reflections on the water create a very calm and tranquil scene.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Tony,
I like very much this wonderful and relaxing landscape. Excellent calm water with different tones of green and blue that work very well together.
You have a nice gallery.
Congratulations.

Hi Tony. I do like this photo. Nice calm mood and interesting sky. The foreground tree does get a little lost against the background bush but a good inclusion all the same. Well composed and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hi Tony
This shot is extremely well composed with the curve where beach meets water serving as a lead to the houses. The quality is very good and the colours nice and natural.
Best wishes

Hi Tony,
The inclusion of the houses in this scene gave a different kind of atmosphere to the place and the good weather with the calm sea is most pleasant and enjoyable to look at. It is this feeling of silence the shot generates that make this very attractive. As for the branch I would prefer you going closer underneath so that you can have it placed on the upper left side of the frame instead, but that is only a personal preference. Well done!!

Enjoy your weekend.

Hi, Tony.
Perfect light helps a lot, indeed, but the compo makes the difference here. Lovely colors, and the leaning tree adds interest.

What I liked most in this picture are, the curved position of the tree towards the sea, different green layers in the water and the location of those two beautiful mansions by the coast.

Tony,
This is a tranquil image with excellent lighting and color. Your composition is fine using the coastline to lead the eye into the photo. The overhanging tree adds a nice touch to the shot.

Hi Tony,
I had a hard time choosing which photo to discuss but I finally settled on this one because the Framing DOF, color and detail are all so good that I feel I am there and the water invites me in for a swim.
HLJ, Pat

Hello Tony,
The plant at the foreground looks like Frangipani but I'm sure it's not. The curve shoreline is your signature shot and I love them too. Very good depth and an almost-going-to-rain sky simply superb.
Best Regards.
Jusni

Hi Tony,

Nice shot, good POV and colours too, the tree on the right givs it a nice feel. TFS

Mind blowing!! The place is tempting me to be there. A great romantic place. Nice that you have added that leaning tree. Congrats and TFS.
Wish you a happy New Year

Hello, Tony!
I just wonder where do you find so many beautiful seascapes - either you live in a dreamland, or you have an eye for the beautiful...

Hello Tony,

I like very much your lovely shot of the beach near Titirangi. It is sharp, exquisite in its focus, and displaying vibrant colors. You posted this image a year ago, and what a beauty it is.
Warm regards,
