Hello to all my TN friends,
Sharing with you one of the more important river from the North Island - The Waikato River - and the landscape pattern along with it! you will notice here some of the green begin to turn brown due to the shortage of rain after sometime in the hot summer season!
Hope you can enjoy it and many thanks for viewing!
Best regards

Hi Tony,

This is different than most of your seascapes and it is just as beautiful. I love the composition showing us the river and the views of each side. Wonderful colors - the mixtures of brown and green are lovely. You still have those nice skies with the wonderful clouds. A beautiful scene.

Hi Tony,

Beautiful Landscape shot, nicely composed with the river running diagonally through the frame and I like the way the left hand side has the tree's going up to the top of the frame, very nice colours and light too.

Hi Tony!

Your picture is crystal clear, a real pleasure to look at. The colours are fabulous and I imagine you have taken it in the morning. It's a beautiful and peaceful countryside, a place it would be nice to walk along.

Kind regards

It looks very calm and peaceful. Well captured in colour and fine details with composition in a semi diagonal...the name sounds aboriginal? for some reason 'pointing the bone' just came to mid but that is another location I know, not Maori...very nicely done!

Hi Tony!

So you have managed to go further from the shore... :)
It was very much worth posting something different this time (but don't deny the shores for long either!) The deep blue of the river and the beautiful vegetation all composed in a very harmonic view. Somehow you manage to put twice as much details in the fixed size image than possible all the time, or at least it seems so! Dunno how you do it but it's fascinating! TFS!

Best regards,
Andor

Hi Tony, Very nice river view. You have once again presented an image with excellent focus clarity and color. Nicely composed and a great time of day to give good lighting.
Tfs Richard

What a neat pastoral view of this lovely river and its green banks, Tony!
You have to see the river Yamuna passing through New Delhi to realize how we have literally killed our rivers in north India particularly.
I would love to walk around on those beautiful verdant banks.
Thanks for sharing this fantastic landscape composition and best regards.
Ram

Hello Tony. You have captured this natural beauty of the river very nicely here. The banks are in diagonal position with big tree on the left balances the shot. I like the clear water with interesting landscape on the other side. Regards. Jusni

Lovely saturated image Tony!
The colours are so vibrent and rich! Surely a result of the polariser!
Superb composition using the river as a big lead-in line.
Razor-sharp with lots and lots of detail.
Perfect exposure throughout.
Very well done!

Hi good friend Tony,
Outstanding shot of this charming landscape with such lovely colours and sharp details. It looks so fresh and peaceful. The river cutting across the frame presents a fine perspective. Excellent DOF and a well chosen POV to portray this scenic beauty. Very nice composition too. Kudos.

Hello Tony,
I missed this fine river landscape. The fine POV has led to an excellent composition and the mixture of parched grasslands with the dark green of the trees is very attractive.
Thanks for sharing this fine and interesting image,

I love your country, I am sure I wouldn't want to leave if I was going! This is a pristine view of the river even though we see some buildings. It's almost medieval, so quiet and curved with beautiful hills and trees. I see myself in that landscape, no problem! Thank you Tony, it warms the heart to see such beautiful nature,

Francine

Hi Tony.
What a nice place you have pictured at very impressive position. All is superb. And nearest vegetation on the left side, and nice curve of the river, and cute landscape on the right bank. Lights and colours, details and sharpness are beautiful too. Well done (as always) and best regards.
