Hi Scott,

Another great capture with superb moment! Ohh, indeed when I saw this picture in thumbnail format, I was in love with the landscape and the beautiful cloud formation :)

The colors are rich as usual in your pictures, and the sharpness and POV are perfect.
The varying tones of the colors of seawater play a great role in beautifying your work.

Very well done, my friend!

best regards,
Paras

Really nice shot Scott. The colors are what really grab my attention ... the aqua green of the water, the sky, and the lush (spring) green on the shore - beautiful. Those people (in the white house) have some pretty spectacular real estate!!!
Great shot

Hi Scott,
This photo is still better that your previous! The composition with this undulating shore make a very good entry in the image!
F16 was a perfect exposure for this scene,increasing the blue sky and the aqua colors of sea!
Your POV enhances the vastness of this place. Excellent clarity! A delight for my eyes! Annie

Hi Scott,

Yeah, I'd be in love with this too. A superb capture of the beach and coastline taken from a nice, high POV. The cloud cover throws some nice patterns on the water. Your HDR treatment is nice and subtle, creating a fine seascape. TFS

hi Scott,
a very settled and stable feeling is nice.
the capturing looks natural to be seen this whole view very well,
and the contrast among three(sky, sea and forest) makes original artistic atmosphere in it.
white cloud and waves are so refreshing for my eyes,
thank you,

Ah, this one is SO inviting:) The HDR intensifies the mood but is not overdone or overdark. Good detail throughout. The sky is a perfect accent to the beautiful scene below. Very appealing, and well handled!

Excellent advert for hdr even for people like me who prefers natural looking colours The key is that you made it look natural and yet have enhanced the shot at the same time Too many beautiful details to mention but excellent work Its good to have you posting again

The high point of veiw looking down on the bay works well.

The different layers of colour in the sea is really nice.

Subtle HDR works well with this shot.

Hello Scott,

Another wonderful seascape from your beautiful island.
Excellent exposure and wonderful clarity.

I used to enjoy superb shots from N.Z. by a photographer called Tony Ho. Sadly, he seems to have stopped posting but you are feeling his shoes nicely!

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hi Scott,
nice to view your images again,you handle the HDR effect so well.I'm still confused re shooting three images containing a sky like this,that there has to be movement in the clouds between each capture,how do you get it to show like yours, everthing so well aligned?First rate work.May I ask what your focal length was of the lens used?

Hi Scott, Good to see another view of Raglan, one of the best surf spots when it is running. Some of those cottages have a wonderful view of the point, what a great spot to have as a weekender. The blues and greens have come up well. Thanks for the memories, as they say in the classics. Murray.
