Hello Tony
This picture is really classy.
The low pov you have with the fantastic foreground interest in the rocks is superb..Then the sea..Millpond calm to white water..the green band running from across the cliffs..The gulls...the sky........
This is truly a fine image that holds my eye with the fantastic amount of detail and interest...It has to be one of my favourites.
My Best Regards to you Tony

Hi Tony,

Another magnificent seascape. There is so much to see in this picture! The details of the rocks, the white waves rushing to shore, the sky with the seagulls - all are beautiful and in fine detail. Superb colors and composition.

Un altro splendido paesaggio marino, bellissima la composizione con il primo piano dei massi e la ripida ed alta costa che siaffacciano su questo mare dai colori meravigliosi, il tutto ravvivato dal volo degli uccelli e dal movimento delle nuvole. Fantastici i colori e la luce. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hi Tony,
A great photo with a wonderful low POV. The gulls and the breaking wave in the distance make this a great action packed photo.
It looks like the tide is getting higher and you hadn't that much more time to stay at this spot.
Great details and clarity and good control over the exposure.

Hello Ho,

Merhaba Tony,
Muhteşem bir manzara karesi. Beyaz köpüklü dalgalarla, gökyüzündeki kuşlar ve bulutların özgürlük dansı. Çok beğendim. Elinize sağlık. Hüseyin.

Hi Tony , flipping from photo to photo using the next button , when I saw this one I knew it was yours before I saw the name , your a very good landscape photographer , this is a great one , very strong composition, great balance ,with compelling lines pulling one into the depth , the gulls and clouds add to that depth nicely , a very dimensional image , great work.
regards

Hallo Tony
What a relaxing scene once again from your lens. It is really spectacular and the birds in the sky are just magic. Like always there are such a lot of details and colours and elements to appreciate. The rock formation, the blue sky and clouds the calm sea and the green mountain on the left hand side. Looking at all of this makes me want to shout out: "I want to be there" I think it would be just great walking through that waters, looking up to the sky and once again appreciate the wonder of the Creation. A tranquil seascape with super framing, composition and depth of field all in one. Kind regards and thanks for sharing.

Hi Good friend Tony,
Wow....this is a fantastic coastline and you have portrayed it so beautifully. The FG rocks, the crashing waves, the blue sky and the flying seagulls - a majestic setting. Looks so desolate too, you must have had a good time there. Excellent DOF, POV and composition. Kudos.

Hola Tony.
Your spanish is very good. Thanks for trying it.
Es una pena que Nueva Zelanda quede tan lejos porque todas las referencias que tengo son magníficas. Maravillosos paisajes y gente encantadora.
En esta foto, como en otras tuyas, los cielos son magníficos.
Muchos Saludos

Hello Tony

A super view of the coast.The low pov is excellent.
The water textures are wonderful,with deep well saturated colours.
Excellent clarity with spot on focus and sharp details.

Hello Tony,

Your low pov, really draws attention to the rugged f/g. Then the eyes can follow the line of partly submerged rocks deeper into the shot, noting the contrast between the steep green shore on one side and the smooth blue of the ocean on the other.
Great composition!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Tony
A lovely seascape with lots of places of interest to keep your eye in the shot. The light areas of the cliff draw my attention then it wanders over to the waves which are just lovely...and the birds too of course.
Well done.
Cheers

Hello Tony,
a very nice dimly lighted coastline that looks both ruggedly wild and peacefully lonesome. Very pleasant spirit of freedom to be felt. Thank you!

I have missed this Tony and not sure why...I wonder if I might have lost your name by mistake..You are one I always check in on often because of such images as this...What a wonderful image...and you are coming to and end of another season...fear not...we are colder by many degrees here so far. You need not think we are basking in the sun:-)

Hey,
This landscape is humming with life and it thrills me to see such an original composition so much from the real life.The gulls that fly around make this a very dynamic presentation and it is as if i sat there by the side of the sea on the rocks and looked out there and saw them all...the gulls, the waves, the sky, the sea feelinga great sense of release and freedom....superb combination of several elements, great colours and PoV here Tony...very well done....to my favourites...

Hi Tony

An interesting coastline and well captured. Lots of activity from the waves, the swells over the rocks, and the birds up in the sky. The land mass with the rocks forms a triangle on the left while the horizon loosely hovers in the vicinity of the 1/3 horizontal line. Actually the photo is sort of divided into 4 quarters which vary in size, colour, interest, and significance. The scattered rocks in the foreground form most of the bottom left quart, the rising land towards the left forming the top left quart, the ocean does so for the bottom right hand corner, and the sky effectively filling the top quart. If this was so planned, well done. If it happened by accident (luck) then I suppose you can say, "the more you practice the luckier you get" (chuckle).

Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot
