This long, shallow, sandy beaches remind me of a lot of Oregon's beaches. I suspect that the water is warmer though. The Northern Pacific waters are frigid!. This is a nice composition with the curving headland and the nice surf. I'm not sure how small an aperture you can set on that camera.... probably f/8??? I'd try for as small as you can get away with to increase the depth of focus further into the scene.

TFS

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your kind critique on my spider picture. Sorry for my delayed reciprocation to it.
This is a lovely beach shot you took two years ago. I like your POV, showing the little ridge jutting into the sea and so well contrasted with white waves in the foreground.
Thanks for sharing and best regards.

Hi Bob,
This is a nice perspective again! Exposure and composition are very nice. I maybe would have tried to add a little contrast, maybe... It seems to be a great place to swim. I would be worrying about sharks though :) Thanks,
Claudine

Hello Bob,
A good point of view to show this beach!
The extent of the place is well emphasised by the people for scaling, and action is added by the surf rolling in...
A fine composition with good lines!
Greetings,

So you did the illegal climb up Lion Rock, eh Bob?
What a super view from up there. It looks so dangerous to climb, and I know I'll never do it now.
And to see all those people swimming 'not between the flags' - no wonder so many people drown out there - it is such a dangerous beach to swim at.
Good POV - couldn't be better!
Kia ora

Hi Bob,

Gorgeous point of view with lovely colours, my eyes are traveling all along the beach, a stronger depth of field would have probably put the image in focus all to the end. Well done!

Hello Bob

A beautiful post card of Piha.
Here we are entering perhaps the coldest part of the Winter and for the next 6 weeks I will be dreaming of scenes like this LOL.
A wonderful POV with lovely lighting and details.
I love seeing the waves from this high perspective.
Nicely done.
TFS
Rob
