It is cold and rainy here in NZ at the moment, and i'm missing summer. So I am posting a shot of one of my favorite beaches to cheer me up.

Hi Tim - nice wide view of a beautiful bay - some lovely blues here and a nice wispy cloud formation adds to the idyllic feel of the shot. Nice image.

I love Matai Bay - last time I was there is was just like it is today - all wet and windy...

Beautiful shot Tim. The waters are so brilliant - I wish it was summertime now

Hi Tim,
Great view on this fabulous bay!
Excellent use of the wide angle making a panoramic view. I like the light clouds enhancing thintensity of this very beautiful blue sky!
Bravo! Annie

WOW, what an awesome beach Tim! I’ve never been here before, but this is certainly going on the top of my list! Could easily be mistaken for Hawaii or Fiji, the water seems so blue and fresh. I’m so pleased you left a lot of space for the sky, those wispy clouds look great. Excellent inclusion of the FG which also gives an elevated view over the curved beach. A really nice photo, you’ve done well.

TFS,
Scott.

A great shot of the bay, Tim
I have never been there, so its now on my list.
Beautiful beach and great colours in the sky and sea.
Thanks for posting this one
cheers
Jack

Hi Tim
Does look like a beautiful place. Nice curve of the beach and deep saturated colours throughout. People add scale and sense to the place. Sure is getting gloomy now across NZ with the weather.
Cheers
Jim

Love the composition Tim with the sweeping curve to the foreshore, pity it is cut off on the left. The wispy clouds are great.

Hi Tim, I wish I could see the whole circle of the beach but this is already pleasing to the eyes, thx for sharing
