See you are not the only one to talk like its an e-mail. See ya again tommorrow @leslie: Thanks so much leslie Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United StatesWhat a gorgeous looking beach... love those rocks... and the driftwood... the waves look fierce... love it... 15 Sep 2008 6:12am @Fliss: Ah Fliss on the west coast of NZ the beaches are all pretty wild. This was the most beautiful isolated place I am looking forward to returning at Christmas time and taking my children this time Anthony Lambert from Bielefeld, GermanyI hate to say it but,horizon !! crop it out,nobody would notice !! 15 Sep 2008 6:23am @Anthony Lambert: Thanks you are absolutley right YUK its so crooked and really wasn't needed at all. I am laughing now because I have cropped and tweaked this photo and thought that I had done a reasonbly good job thanks for bursting my bubble hehehe Margie from Auckland, New ZealandI see the horizon police have been already, huh. 15 Sep 2008 6:29am @Margie: Thanks Margie I am sure there will be more police on this one. The funny thing is I never even noticed til Anthony pointed it out. Never mind we live and learn Hope all is well with you Dimitrios from ATHENS, Greeceamazing, its like the wood is part of the waves in parallel rows! super frame, bravo. 15 Sep 2008 6:52am @Dimitrios: Thanks Dimitrios hope all is well with you dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United Statesdeb this is truly lovely! truly!! :) the light, the tones, the spray off the cresting wave -- such wonderful elements! i suggest keeping the horizon and sky as i love them very much!! just use a straightening tool! :) bravo -- this shot is simply wonderful!! 15 Sep 2008 7:16am @dj.tigersprout: Thanks Dj I really didn't even notice the horizon being crooked til Anthony commented. Isn't it geat how something so simple can cause so much controversy Kylie Greenan from Richmond, AustraliaI disagree, I like the horizon in this image, it ads another layer to it, it's all personal taste, I laughed at the comment about the "horizon police" :o), I love your composition here, a great image Deb! 15 Sep 2008 7:19am @Kylie Greenan: Thanks for the kind words I am enjoying the controversy over the horizon will be interesting to see the final verdict. Give Sam a banana from me and tell him the kiwis are saying hello Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New ZealandThis is a real cracker J. I love it. The spray from the waves is brilliant, I love the wonky horizon, the lighting is fantastic! Bravo my friend on a really splendid shot!!! 15 Sep 2008 7:33am @Linerberry: Thanks Liners I thought I did such a clever job of fiddling with this photo. Never mind controversy is good and life is never boring. Thanks for your kind comments. Maxine from Rangiora, New ZealandAs soon as i saw it i thought -Gillespies Beach! my favourite beach, wild , remote and full of driftwood.

Looks like a tough beach to stroll on, though. 16 Sep 2008 1:42am @willow: It was the easiest to walk on had a few stone bruises afterwards but a 40 minute walk leads to a beautiful lagoon so it was worth it One from Açores, PortugalMagnificent waves rejected by the wind, magnificent also the place (18.544 km from me), very good shot. 16 Sep 2008 4:10am @One: Thankyou very much It is a long way isn't it but worth a visit if you have the time and the money |
