Kakanui Beach, North Otago, New Zealand. I considered removing the people and the dog but decided they add a bit of interest. Taken with Canon EOS 450D..Thank you for viewing :) . .Any comments/opinions most welcome.
Thanks Stan.
Not sure what happened here - this image appeared twice, both with the same upload time so I deleted one and they both went !
Uploaded again.
I'm glad you left them. Surely we deceive ourselves by thinking that no land is every touched by man and why shouldn't we see such beauty being enjoyed by man as God intended. No matter where you take a shot in that wonderful country of yours, it seems drenched in beauty.
(And that's what I wrote on the other one too). lol
I imagine they are more happy to not be "rubbed out" Lyn. They add a lot of perspective and the dog especially needs to be there. Beautiful warm colors.
What an idyllic spot for a dip! I'm very envious of them having that beach all to themselves. Unusual too to see a beach with all that green as backdrop. Leaving the people in was a good idea because it really brings home the scale of the landscape.
Leaving people in pictue was a good decision by you Lynn...gives perspective...nice composition...nice to see in the dead of winter in northern hemispshere...gerry

I agree with Gerry as leaving the people in gives a better perspective of the size of the place. Love the contrast between the colours of the sea, beach and green land. Well done!

What a beautiful wonderful photo! It would have lost something if you had removed the people for sure. Them being their gives so much feeling to the scene. How wonderful the land is there.
And you've taken a most lovely photo. Verena
