[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Matai Bay is one of the Far North’s pure gems, consisting of two crescent-shaped coves looking out to the Pacific Ocean. There is a Department of Conservation camping ground popular with fishermen and holidaymakers for its safe bathing. It is very scenic, with fine sand excellent for swimming and, being crescent shaped, there is always a sheltered end.

Thanks for the welcome!
I like the point of view here. The trees look like a type of arbutus the same as we have here.
I'll check more of your gallery after.

hi Tim I saw your pic and I like it so nice and good composition

Recep

This is nice, perhaps not as stunning as many of your trademark shots, but well composed and with (mostly) good sharpness and saturation.

A little oddness at the very top right, those treetops are fuzzy and with very stark outlines, did you select the sky in order to process it somehow?
