Hi Tony, dear friend,
the colors are really wonderful and together with this gentle autumnal light they are creating a wonderful impression.
YOur POV is excellently creating the feeeling that the viewer directly steps into the frame. TFS!

Hi Tony,
It must be a good thing to wake up with such a tranquil and serene view. I like a lot the softness of the tangential light and to see all that vastness. Great job!

Hello Tony,
it is funny that we both present autumn atmosphere at the same time. You are up to date but mine are half a year old. I like the peaceful mood and the soft light of this picture. Nice POV and a beautiful sky.

Hi Tony!
I only like this option beach without green, the deep is good with the mountain, likes the light of dawning or getting late, good definition and colors! Good work!
Warm Regards,

Hi, Tony.
Time flies, doesn't it? I remember you posting your early summer pictures, and all of a sudden we are months past that and Autumn is knocking at your door...
Never mind, it's a wheel that keeps turning. And this sure is a great shot, featuring a dreamy seascape bathing in lovely soft light. Which is all you need, it perfectly reflects the mood you wanted to portray, TFS! Have a wonderful week, I'll be seeing you. A big hug from Holland, where spring is finally on its way!
Fulvio.

Hello Tony,
I feel in my mouth the salt, hear the sea wind, and I smell the sea aromas. A very strong composition, excellent frame and soft golden colors. Bravo.
All the best.

Hi Tony,
What a serene view of the landscape. When you view or be to places like these, you are bound to forget that you have left behind a world full of hatrace, malice, and people fighting for unjust causes.
Lovely view dear friend.

Sagarneel.

Hello My Friend,
This does look like a calm day.
The soft, whispy clouds in a pale blue sky have that pacifying effect.
I like the f/g details of churned, textured sand, hinting at the hundreds of people who have visited and played here; if footprints could talk ...!
The stepped rocks are a fine leading line encouraging the gaze move towards the distant volcano.
Kind regards,
Bev :-)
I watched a marvellous programme about volcanoes last night. Well worth seeing if it comes on N.Z. t.v.

A beautifully composed sight of this charming place taken at a calm and peaceful hour. The very good pov you chose gave you a great sense of depth and distance and the fine and interesting sky adds contrast and dynamicity to the photo. Tecnically and compositively very good.
Best greetings,

Hello Tony,
This image struck a bell in my mind, as I remember this volcano during my visit to NZ way back in 1992. What amazes me here is the soft warm light with which you manage to gather so much details in the FG sand and rocky outcrop. Excellent POV and DOF.

Hello Tony
Well I have moved from out west near to Port/Parnell, and have these new view pretty much on my doorstep. Great shot of Auckland's youngest Volcano. I have seen it also at sunrise and sunset but it's a hard capture to get right. You have done a decent job here. Hope all is well.

Hello Tony,
The baby volcano is an effective eye-catcher in the horizon!
Another well composed beach scenery, and the fine morning light from a low angle tells you're an early bird hehehe...
The image has a fine sense of depth, and the veil of clouds adds to the mood!

Hello Tony,
I like the framing of these rocks which indicate the remote hill. It is a vast quite enlightened panorama, with the lines pure and very pleasant to look at. Good clearness, beautiful light. Congratulations.
Have a nice day

Hello Tony,
The autumn is very beautiful, but leads us into the winter, less light, more cold ... but we should enjoy it, here we go the opposite, towards light and heat.
A beautiful and intimate image of this peaceful place with soft light and great perspective.
Best regards,
Charo

Very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. A great compo, with the sand and rocks pulling the eye to the picturesque low island on the BG. I like also the sky,and, of course the dim and warm light.

Hi Tony,
This lovely coastal image should sit under the definition of tranquil in the dictionary.
The lovely blue sky with its wispy clouds looming over the peaceful bay is like a lullaby to the eyes.
The richly textured beach and rocks in the foreground make an excellent lead-in to this fine image.
Regards, Tom

Sabaidie Tony,
Autumn already, yeah! it mean spring for us and summer will follow. It’s a very lovely scenery. Its emptiness gives a sense of tranquility and a little melancholy. Good quality as always, love the colors, nice and soft but rich in tone, beautiful sunset light. Thanks Tony.

My dear friend Tony:
I consider that it is a different composition, from an original point of view, which allows us to stop our eyes on several levels.
There is balance, good management of light and an overwhelming sense of tranquility. The contrast of the sky with the geographical landscape, highly stressed. Greetings from Colombia.

Hi Tony. Hope all is well in Auckland this WE. Great photo, excellent sky and wonderful light. I love the footprint textured sand in the FG. The line of rocks makes a great lead-in for extra depth. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good week, Paul.

Hi Tony,
I saw this one standing on the edge of 100 points, so why not that last push ;-)

Have a nice day,

Hello Tony,
the vulcano at this distance and lighting seems to be not very attractive but with the emphasized foreground in a very low light you fill up the picture with exciting elements that chatch the attention immediately and let us discover the main topic gradually. Conclusion: your compositional ability has once again beaten the conditions.
Compliments
