Hi Tony,
this is a marvelous looking photo and the ducks even though all that well detailed add so much to the beauty of this photo.I very much like the light you have captured and the colours are wonderful.Tony you have a knack for getting things right in your photos and this one is no exception as really I see nothing that needs to be modified as this photo is just so inviting.Thank you for sharing and giving us all yet an other reason to visit New Zealand as your photos are amongst the best I have ever seen. Bob

Hi Tony,

A beautiful seascape with the added bonus of the ducks. Colors are magnificent. The title is perfect. A wonderful linear composition with the shore, the water, the ducks, the land in the distance and the clouds.

The clouds may not be moving but because of the unique depth and angel, they appear to be moving the opposite direction of the birds....it is a perceptual thing Tony...and if you don't see it, perhaps it is just me being a bit more philosophical today. but it does create a VERY interesting picture...which alone without aviaries would have been fine, but then the icing and the touche'!

Hello Tony, another fantastic seascape of yours, with those ducks at the foreground. I love the wide angle usedand the beautiful layered cumulus in the sky. The water reflects beautifully the sky on its smooth silky surface. It almost looks like those seascapes on the St.Lawrence estuary... I took some shots similar to yours but for the beautiful light you caught in this one. Thanks again for the beauty of your country being shared,

A beautiful seascape of this calm autumn day by French Bay. The clouds are beautiful. This line of clouds call we in Holland (and maybe in the hole world) streets. I like the light and the reflections are very impressive,excellent work my friend. A beautiful compo.

Siempre tienen cosas en común todas tus tomas pero también tienen siempre algo diferente. En este caso has animado la captura con unas aves que dan vitalidad al conjunto. Muy buena profundidad la que has conseguido. También me gustan la luz y los colores.

Hi Tony,
It certainly is a cracking skyline my friend. I do think it is a shame that the cut is 50/50 as difficult to determine the main subject...which is the sky in my opinion.The sense of expanse here is quite amazing and you can really feel the peace and quiet....nice to end my busy day with.Take care my friend.

Hello Tony,

You are no stranger to producing very beautiful seascapes with excellent composition! This fits the credentials exactly!
However, this time, you have given us the added interest of the delightful, swimming ducks!

The light, shimmering on the water, and that puffily, clouded sky, are very good additions.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
