[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another photo taken on my trip to Western Australia last year. W are looking at Geographe bay and the Indian Ocean with the Leeuwin/Naturaliste National Park in the far distance.
In 1801 a French sailor named Vasse from the French expedition ships Geographe and Naturaliste was lost during a wild storm in Geographe Bay. Subsequently the river and district were named; Vasse", the bay 'Geographe' and the cape 'Naturaliste'.

This is a beautiful composition David. The golden color is simply warm and wonderful. One can even see the rays of the sun. Congratulations mate!

Hi Dave,

This looks something from the biblical era! The parting of the red sea perhaps?... :)

Beautifully golden colours & rays!
Well seen & captured!

Hi David,
Very nice sunset, I like the curvy shape of the silhouette of the ground in the foreground with these superb colors of the sunset and the best is these great sunrays. Very well done.

Wonderful capture, David!
I like how you composed this shot.
Well done!! Alla.

Hi David,
A very stunning photo with beautiful colors and POV. When I scolled down this page I came to see the photo without the bright sun and found the overall photo even more attractive. It gave much more attention to the sunrays and the golden colored ocean. You should see it for yourself. So I feel that cropping of the very bright sun, would enhance the photo a lot.
TFS,
Niek

NOW THIS IS A SUNSET yes sir! absolutely lovely complete with sun rays and all. grand!!

Hi Dasvid,
wonderful view of the sunset. Nice land silhouette at the bottom, great golden reflections on the water as well as beautiful rays crossing the air. All this give unique mood to this photo. tfs

Ah man, what is it with you David! You outdo nearly everyone with sunrise/sunset shots! This one could quite possible be the best. It looks like God could truly exsist by the looks of this photo. I'm really glad you didn't get any sun flares in the photo, while they don't look bad in photos, it just really wouldn't have suited this photo. All in all a great composition, TFS!

Biance,

Hi David,

An awesome example of "crepuscular rays" or better known as sunbeams. You have done very well to capture this at it’s' best as they generally do not last that long, as you are no doubt aware. Nice colour and good exposure, which can be difficult to achieve with shots like this. Well done and I have added this to the theme Sunbeams.

All the best
Wayne

Hi David,

A lovely picture looking across the bay here, enhanced by the glorious golden rays of sunshine. Beautiful, well captured!

A sunset , is a sunset, but this one is quite spectacular. Very informative note too. BTW , I am working a ship this weekend that loaded in Bunbury....

A beautiful golden sunset, a special moment indeed, thanks so much for sharing. :)

hi there, david
many photos with fog and/or flat light in your gallery. some of them fine, but the light is different to me, I guess I'd feel a little lost there.
this one resembles what I'm used to see and I can appreciate its beauty. thanks
regards,
cal

A wonderful sunrise! I like the golden colours and the rays breaking through the clouds. Thank you so much for the note too that teaches me more about your country.

Hi David,
Missed this gem somehow. Speaking of which, I love how the water sparkles like jewels. The contrast of the rays and the silhouette make a very hopeful shot.
Take care,
Karen
