Awesome postcard-like shot Jim. Very worth the late trip there to watch the daybreak from this beautiful vantage point. I love the warm and rich tones in this shot, certainly feels like first thing in the morning. Wonderful composition with the arcing island, the Toitois in the FG are a nice touch too :). Well seen.

TFS,
Scott.

Hello Jim,
very fine presentation here where you managed to catch and deliver an incredible mood. The first light with its warm glow kissing the earth have created a beautiful game of shades and light; the gradient in the sky is stunning, its contrast with the color of the earth sun-kissed simply great. Quality is outstanding throughout, making this picture shine in every aspect of it, my compliments.
Thanks for sharing it and regards,

Ele

Hello Jim,

The light in this shot is stunning!
The sun is so low that it is painting the tall grasses horizontally with its golden light yet castig other places into deep shadow. Fabulous!

You have made a lot of effort to secure this shot and every minute was worth it!
This has to be a favourite!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

What a shot! Beautiful postcardesque vision of this landscape. The light was absolutely perfect - the low sun has touched everything with gold.

I think that horizon is pitched very slightly down to the left, but otherwise - this is a lovely shot.

Lovely warm light Jim, sometimes the drive is worth it when you see a vista like this. The curve of the shore line leads the eye to the headland and you can't help wondering whats beyond. Well done.

Hi Jim,
what a lovely and scenic capture of the beach and hills. Such a great colour and the landscape is outstanding. You have presented it really well.
I like the strong like in the foreground and the addition of the grass flowers.
Very well composed.

Foozi
