Hi Ho,
Awesome tree, this Puhutukawa tree.
I'm looking forward to see this giant with the red flowers.
It's actually a good idea to ivolve the 'little' human.
Well done

Hi Tony,
you New Zealanders really want us TN watchers to visit this country with the many fantastic landscapes, like this one. You did of course an excellent job in capturing the atmosphere, the light etc.
best regards

Maravillosa !! Tienes un arte especial en captar este tipo de imágenes. Es impresionante conocer así el árbol de navidad que aquí no se da si no es en pequeñas macetas jajaja. Buen juego con el espacio y las referencias, creo que alejado suficientemente del árbol para dar una muestra de su tamaño. Oportuno también presentar la figura humana del fondo. Un excelente trabajo técnico y artístico.

Cool Tony...We have a Christmas cactus...actually have one right here at the house..but as per trees...the firs, pines and such are what usually remind me of Christmas...I was not ware of other areas such as yours nor the tree....which I absolutely love...from a distance it looks a bit like a willow in girth and in leaves per branch and size...and also in the gnarly way it grows...very cool. Another lesson for my day..well actually my second one as Mario did a whole theme plan...but I very much appreciate your input and wonderful iamges.

Where is this tree.. we lived in Auckland for 6 years and it looks familier (although there are a lot of them around lol) This is a lovely shot, reminds me of long summer days at the beach and of being out on the boats snapper fishing. A nice shot. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Tony,

Would I love to be the person on the beach!! I would love to see this tree with the little red flowers. Beautiful picture with the massive tree filling so much of the frame. The water and clouds look wonderful! Beautiful scene - beautiful composition.

Hello Tony. The tree is the center of attraction here. The trunk with parasitic plants making it very interesting. The sharp detail is well covered with the green moss on the ground. Beautiful composition and I like this one too. Best regards. Jusni

Hi Tony!

What a wonderful composition, I think it does help to have that man there! We can guess how big the tree is, and it is with lots of details: it's so good to have the 300k limit at a picture like this...
Lights and shadows bring out even more depth of the tree. TFS!

Best regards,
Andor

What a lovely shot, I love the very different proportion/scale you bring out!Like you're trying to say how small man is in comparison with Creation/Nature!
Very well done, Tony!

Hello Tony,
A beautifully composed capture of the Pohutukawa tree taken from a great POV with the main branches leaning out over the beach. These branches seem to have aireal roots (they don't look like lichens), which adds interest to the tree as well. I think you were right to include the human figure on the horizon: its hardly a portrait of a person and gives a feeling of scale and depth.
TFS this delight,
Ivan

Hi Tony,
It looks like a fellow photographer or a fisherman. To me the person is a perfect ellement for this photo. The scale become more obvious.
The tree is a real beauty, one I would love to have close to my home, since single trees are a magnet for me. I love how the tree is clinging on the rocks for dear life. The colors and details in the photo are superbly captured.
TFS,
Niek

Hallo Tony
No matter what kind of scenery, from what angle or what the weather conditions are, your landscapes images are always a winner, including this Puhutukawa tree. You have photographed this view with great focal point, great sharpness and in true Ho Tony (gracious) style. You have put all of that together and presented us with wonderful scenery. All the colours in this scenery are portrayed beautifully. Your love for nature is displayed in all your presentations, including this one. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards

Hi Tony!

This place is marvellous! If only it would have a name that is easier to pronounce... !

:-)

Well, not the name is important here, but the piece of wild and peaceful nature you present us in your usual perfect composition. I especially like the large space you have allowed to the impressive tree. The human beside it is quite small... A symbol?

Kind regards

Hello Tony, how happy I am to see your wonderful New Zealand again! This is a stunning tree and as usual, you managed a wonderful view of the coast. I love the ocean and even though I love living where I am, I miss it so much. Thanks for giving us the chance to smell its fresh air!

Hello Tony,
What a beautiful huge tree clinging on to the edge of the beach where no doubt the waves have been high in the past. Excellent POV and fine details even showing long lichens hanging on the branches. Beautiful colours too and well composed.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Ciao Tony,
bellissimo paesaggio catturato con uno splendido effetto grandangolare che esalta la maestosità dell'albero in primo piano e apre la scena su questo grande spazio dove la silhouette dell'uomo è piccola cosa, ottima definizione e magnifici i colori.
TFS.
