Hello Tony,

You noticed this well!
The lovely shape of Lion Rock (well named) is perfectly reflected in the wet sand. Even the blue sky surrounding it is reproduced!
The two are separated by a triangle of moving surf. It is beautiful!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Tony,
No matter what angle do you choose, the outcome of this place is always remarkable.
Its very good all the textures, greens and info got on that rock formation.
The reflection is so good and balances the composition.
Congratulations and thanks for the post.
My best regards,
JM

Swell reflection of the cliffs in the incoming waves and pooling Tony. I love water...almost as much as my wilderness mountains. You know....the biggest difference I can think of beyond the obvious lack of trees in water...is the sound. In my wilderness at night, there can be so much silence that it is deafening...something akin to what I have heard parachuters say...not skydivers:-) But at the ocean there is a constant noise of the surf...even at low tides and action it is still a gentle and relaxing tone, while at high tides or heavy wave action, the noise brings the feeling of immense power...Here in this image you seem to have caught the quieter times......very nicely done sir Tony!

Hi Tony,

A lovely dedication to Bayram - he deserves all the tributes being paid to him. This view of the rock with great detail of the moss, trees and textures and its reflection is just beautiful. I love it in conjunction with the perfect blue sky and the wonderful waves in the water.

Hello Tony, my dear friend
excellent seascape shot from NZ. Nice to see seashores. My hometown is located on seaside. So, I like very much sea. Formerly I was a diver. but now, sea or fine watered lake not present here. So, I miss sea very much. When I see your post, I remember old days. Many thanks for sharing. This great shot is also nice dedication to our friend, Bayram. ANother memory about him:) Both of us worked at same department formerly.
Best regards

Hello Tony!
Beautiful coloured picture with excellent exposure and light. I like also composition: sea and rocks are very nice for watching here!
On the other hand I am not sure if the horizon line is ok here. I think that left side is a little higher and the right side :) Or maybe it is an effect of distance to the rocks?
Anyway, really nice place and really nice picture!

Hi good friend Tony,
Outstanding shot qagain of the Piha Lion Rock with such lovely colours and details. Very neat and sharp image with perfect light and exposure handling.

Hallo Tony
A magnificent portrayal of the ambience and the tranquillity of nature. A very peaceful and relaxing scene to look at, the striking blue colours in the water beautifully captured. The smooth glasslike effect on the sand is just amazing. Attractive composition with great details. A refreshing image, where one can stare into the remote distance and let your mind wonder far away. Your images seem to have that effect on me all the time, as if one gets lost in your own world. Thanks for sharing
Kind regards

Que decir de esta toma que no te haya dicho ya en otras ocasiones....... si algo destaca por el ángulo de disparo, es el efectivo dinamismo que yo aprecio. La luz: impresionante !!

Hi Tony,
Wonderful shot - great composition with splendid colors - and a nice dedication to Dr. Bayram. Both the rock and its reflection are very nice. It's of course difficult to say, but the NZ coast is one of the nicest seasides on Earth. Thanks for sharing so many good photos of it.
Best regards from a country without seaside, László
