Hi Yves,

This is a beautiful scene with some really great colours. I love the different shades of blue and the orange highlights around the the beaches. You've composed it well with the river leading you nicely through the images, and the mountains in the background giving some real depth.

TFS,
Cheers
Simon

Hi Yves,
You've done well here, your composition is good, the shot is nicely balanced between foreground and background. I don't mind the shadow of the bridge in the immediate foreground, although the shadow does tend to confuse the water a little in the bottom right of frame The polarizer worked well on the sky and the water clarity as well as bringing out the rich colours.
I love the way you've captured the sun lighting up the sand and the grassy area on the left of frame.
Technically and creatively it is a very accomplished image, my compliments.
Regards
Peter

Hello Yves!
Magnificent colors of the water!
Gorgeous landscape, where the mountains play such an important and attractive role!
Sharpness, exposure, pov, dof, colors and composition are all excellent in this picture!
Quite inviting... might go to New Zealand only in 2012!
TFS - congratulations!
My warmest regards,
Neyvan

Yves,

You captured perfectly this "excess" of nature. The scenery and the colours are superb.
