Ho,

Beautiful picture. The sun nicely reflects on the see and the rocks, making the colors very vivid. Sharpness is spot on too.
Merry Christmas to you too.

Hello Tony
What a stunning coastline this is!!
And you have captured it just superbly with a real feeling of movement of direction in the water as it finds its different paths to the shore.
Just Stunning
Best Regards and Thank You for sharing all your inspiring work.

Hello Tony,
Seeing this I don't miss snow for a second!
Seems like the sea was a bit more alive this day, bringing a refreshing breeze to chill you down...
Wonderful colours in a well composed presentation!

Hi Tony,

I'm sure all of those who will have a too white Chrismas (not where I live) will look at this scene and yearn a little bit. Absolutely beautiful. The details of the water are so wonderful it's almost like being there. Fantastic colors, and as always, a magnificent composition.

Hello Tony

This scene looks so inviting to me .
The colour of the water is beautiful and refreshing.
The POV and DOF are excellent.
You have captured the motion of the surf well as it rocks and churns against the rocks and beach.
This place is wonderful.

Preciosa Ho, con tu estilo inconfundible. Destacaría la impresionante luz, sobre todo al fondo y lo bien captada que está el agua en el medio y primer plano. Las rocas de la base dan mucho equilibrio a la toma. Gracias por tus buenos deseos y un abrazo para tí y tu familia.

Hi Tony and Season's Greeting to you and your family.
I wish you happiness, health and good will for the coming year. Keep up your beautiful landscape and seascapes.

I love your seascape, the colour of the ocean is just beautiful. So many different tones of blue here. Excellent composition and warm light bring this all together so nicely.

Thank you Tony for the warm Christmas and New Year greetings along with this wonderful image of the coast of NZ.
I can almost smell the salty air and hear the waves rolling in from this one. If I listen well I can hear the seagull as the warm breezes caress my face. The blues of sky and water are a pleasing view. Thank you my freind for your kind heart and all you share with us here.

Hi Tony,

When it's summer in New Zealand than have we winter, but also no white christmas in Belgium, cold and +2° Celsius.
I enjoy of your wonderful image, excellent composition and very real colours, you play very well with light and shadows, very well done.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family.

Hi Tony,
What to say to a Christmas image like this? :) Although I myself like winter, the best Christmas I can imagine is a warm one on the NZ seaside. I really like Your country, and Your fantastic images help me a lot to know more, and see more of it. And this is, by my taste, more than just photography. Thanx for teaching us, MF.
Merry Christmas to You in 2008 (I know it's early, but it's an X-mas image, he-he). Best regards, László
