Hello to all TN friends,
Sharing with you another scene from Nature at it's best from the Muriwai beach with the moment of high tide around the coast! The rock platform is a favorite spot for people to do fishing and some had been washed away from the past record! The council had put up a strong warning sign regarding the unpridicted waves for those who want to go down below!
Hope you can enjoy it and many thanks for viewing!
Best regards!

Hello Tony
I love the sea and those waves are delightful even if they are strong and dangerous. I wouldn't like to fish there for fear of them anyway. You captured all the beauty of the place with great sharpness and marvellous colors.
Congratulations and thank you very much for sharing.
Best regards
Maite

Hi Tony,
Wonderful "action" landscape shot with lovely composition.
Perfect my friend!
TFS.
Cheers,

Hello Tony,

We are nearly neighbours today!
I love the wildness of this shot!
The rock resembles a large turtle being inundated by the crashing sea! The spume is flying high from the incoming waves!

Lovely composition with the grass triangle in the l/h corner and good details throughout.

kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Tony,

What an amazing landscape. There is so much in NZ! Very good composition and colours, good shutter speed to add some action of the sea.

Hi Tony,
I so envy all of the beautiful landscapes that you have access to in New Zealand. This image is so captivating with the power of the waves and the cold hardness of the rock, with just a touch of green in the foreground. Excellent composition and POV. Sharpness is outstanding! TFS Thomas

Meraviglioso paesaggio marino, splendida composizione con l'infrangersi delle onde spumeggianti, straordinarie nitidezza e definizione di ogni dettaglio, magnifici i colori e la luce. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hello dear friend Tony,

Hi Tony,

I can almost hear the sound of the roaring waves. Beautiful scene - I love the foam on the rocks. The colors of the water are marvelous. I don't think I would want to be fishing from that platform on such a day.

Jane

Ahhh the cooler weather and so harsh in the oceans...but those rocks have stood for years, even though being torn at and some swept away...there is more water than rock...I wonder...humans are also mostly water..perhaps we really all did come from fish which is why our Creators Son said..."Fishers of Men"...very well seen in many ways Tony!

Hi Tony,
Magnificent seascape from you again.Well caught,framed and composed.Sharpness,POV,details and colors are perfect.
Thanks for posting.

Dear Tony,
a fascinating place of natural drama. Easy to understand how dangerous it must be invade that grand solitude by stepping on that rock.
The frozen movement of rolling waves and splashing waters looks very attractive, and quite surprising for the long shutter speed - obviously a perfect choice. Wonderful deep low light colours. Another fascinating trip to New Sealand's coasts - thank you my dear friend!
With best regards,
Peter

Hello Tony,

Yes Tony thats one of my places in NZ. When I was there, were several people fishing. I found this very dangerous with those wild sea. There was a man who saw his entire coolbox road coils including his carkeys. He was lucky that he was not drawn in the sea. So, you see there are a lot of memories by one such photo.

A beautiful seascape Tony. I take a lot of photo's from an another position. From the rock only by lowtide. The rolling and blowing waves are beautiful. POV, DOF and BG are good. I shall send an photo as WS from a another position.

As per usual another incredible view of the NZ coastline.
The colours are natural and well saturated.
Wonderful use of the lighting.
Excellent pov and dof.

Hola Tony.
Buena toma de ese mar rompiendo contra la roca. El colorido es lo que mas me llama la atención, y esa ola que peina el viento.

Hello Tony,
I can see that the rock can be a risky place to fish from!
You caught the rollers coming on to it magnificently with fine timing and sharpness. As usual the composition is superb.
TFS this impressive image,
Ivan

Interesting look at this flat-rock outcrop Tony, a good comp.
Nice colors/details and I like the surf action I see :)
