During our stay in Australia, we decided to go to the wonderful Bondi Beach, what a beautiful place. This picture was taken as I was standing on the beach gazing out to the sea - just stunning. Look for more pictures from this place. The website for Bondi is located here

Hi Greg,
Lovely view, but the composition is not good. Try to stick more with the rule of thirds. Now you have your horizion in the horizontal center line and the tip of the rock in the vertical center line. So either move the horizon up or down and move the tip of the rock left or right. You also might want to consider to use a grad ND filter to balance the exposure of the sky, sea and land.
Regards.

I have to say that this is not one of your most creative shots, Greg, although it's a very pleasant view in itself.
Hope this first week here is going well for you.
Yours,
Andrew.

The color of the sea is absolutely great... maybe not your strongest composition. however, always a good idea to describe the stunning. I enjoy your view... TFS

Greg,
Nice photo. Not a tourist photo like others we have seen. :) I don't understand the whole 1 point thing. Why bother?
Keep up the good work.

Hi Greg

I like the blue colors of the sea & sky. Could be a tad sharper, but still good work overall & tfs.

Hi GT,
Nice seashore view my friend.
I like the strong blue color of the water,pov and dof.TFS
Have a Great Weekend,
Chris

Great view. I love the clean sky - no sensor dust or anything! Level horizon nice color - very nice shot!

Hmmm, Greg, I notice you didn't including the beach with the topless girls in the shot, LOL! I've been to Bondi, it's quite fabulous isn't it?

TFS and enjoy yourself. Be sure and get some Thai food while you're down under, lots of great restaurants around Sydney!

Hi Greg, this is another great seascape photo of yours with the rocky shore coming into the center of the composition with the white waves.

Very well done. Take care, Yan :)
