Beautiful place and wonderful photo!

Hello Tony, what an awesome view. This landscape is just amazing. The colour and details of the waterfall are breathtaking. What a lovely location youve found. The details throughout the picture is fabulous and sharp. Very well done. Excellent work as usual. tfs Rgds Necip

Hello Tony
This is really superb...It is a fantastic sight with the colours of the water rushing down against the wonderful greens of the trees and then the blue of the sky almost reflect the colurs of the river..Just perfect...Your shutter speed and dof has created a wonderfull movement to the river yet leaving it crisp as it thunders down.
My Best Regards to you Tony

Hi Tony,

This is definitely up there with your most beautiful scenes. The waterfalls are marvelous - we can see them flowing. Beautiful composition with the wonderful green trees on either side. And of course an excellent blue sky with the lovely white clouds.

The water colours retained very well...this looks much as I imagined it would...now if I could only be there some day! In summer of course..Very well done..You bring out the super qualities of the Canon with your skilled eyes!

Hi Tony, what amazes me in this picture is the cristalline blue water, its purity and limpidity. How magnificent this is, we feel like drinking it. I like the pov right from the middle of the fall, with the whirling waters and the blue sky just above. Thank you!

Hi Tony

I drove past these just a few weeks ago. Great division of the frame plus excellent exposure and colour.

Hello Tony,
This is what a rive shall look like, filled with water untamed by humans!
A well balanced composition with rich colours, presentation is well composed with good diagonal movement...
Looks like there may be some trout there!

Hello Tony,
A different perspective from you and looking very good too. You have captured tis dead center of the fall from high point of view. The freshness of the water is so well visible rushing through the rock walls in lush green. I like it and very well done.

Hello Tony,
We are really beginning to get to know a little of what NZ looks like through your fine landscapes. This capture of the Huka falls is fantastic for the composition, the water colour and vegetation on either side of the falls. I can almost hear th roar of the water!
Thanks for sharing this,

Hola Tony.
It is always nice to see Your Photos Landscapes. Great colors in all of them, and very well framed too.

Hallo Tony
This is such a lovely landscape you are sharing with us. I cannot believe the colour of the water. It looks so pure and clean I am sure one would just be tempted to drink some of it if you are close by. It is really a stunning and wonderful location. The combination of the blue sky, the white of the clouds and the green trees are perfect. That white foam of the water just does it for me. Very refreshing and peaceful to look at. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Magnifique cette couleur de l'eau, la composition est très belle.

Impresionante catarata.
Perfecto encuadre y original PoV.

Hi Tony
Wow the water here is such a pretty blue colour. It almost looks glacial. Such a nice view of Haka Falls as it curves around the corner and falls over the rocks. A nice summer day for sure.

Hi Tony,
Despite it being so centered do like the perspective up the river....it gives great depth.The image is well balanced in all aspects and I like the symetrics created by the dividing river.The water has come up a cracking colour.

Hi Tony

Well this is definitely a very nice view from the top if this powerful river.
The speed and sheer momentum of the water is very well captured here - carving through the rock as it goes down.
The natural banks are also gorgeous and they give a lot of texture and color to the scene while the blue sky from above completes this beautiful presentation well.
Nicely done!

Bravo and TFS

Hi My Dear Friend,

Lovely falls...
The strong moods of waters and the fragrance of the beautifull lands are there...
EXCELLENT.
