Rina, This is a very nice Image,with Color, Symmetry, and Pop! Really pleasing Contrast of White-Beach, White/Dark Sky, and Aqua Water...Once again, Very-Nice...
Now I'm kinda' Jumpy every time I here the 'Crack'or 'Swoosh' of a(the) Whip! Had fearful thoughts all Last Night...But that's another Story for another Day... Still trying to figure out Who's the Sly-er of you two Sista's...You are just plain Fun!!!

Not sure what to think now. I just did same as you from within the email, and it defaulted to the main image page with all the comments, rather than the proper reply page. I scrolled down to your comment, clicked the reply-to link there and was then taken to a reply page with only your comment and a smaller version of my image.
Wow... this is bizzaro. Not to worry Phil, I'll know to check back whenever I leave a comment to you!

No, Rina, I have not been clicking on it that way - I have to send this one, however!
In the e-mail it says to 'Reply to this comment' - that's what I have always done to everybody that comments on my pics. I am pretty sure that way works OK - I know Joel Aron gets all of my replies.
I don't know why you haven't been getting them. What do you think?
Cheers

Awww shucks Phil... thanks :) You have an infectious enthusiasm and I'm so glad you like this image.
No, I haven't received your other reply. I know this is going to sound like a dumb question but, are you clicking the "Reply to ..." link above my comment on the actual image page? I'm not too sure if it works the same way when you click it from within an email...

Rina, this is a fabulous image! The colours of the sky and sea contrasted with the colour or the sand is just wonderful! A stunning image!
Rina, I just relied to your comments on the image of my 'Kate'. I trust you got them!

Hi Dave, this is just the one photo but with multiple copied layers blended with various treatments. Still not too confident of the end result, however, it seems to have gotten a good reaction from folk.
I've since upgraded from PS7 to CS2 so hopefully any 'arty farty' post-processing I do will have a more polished feel in future :))
Thanks for swinging by and leaving feedback. Much appreciated. Cheers!

You are too funny Rina. I was just kidding. I couldn't wear a bikini these days if my life depended on it. I'd get a ticket for doing so. (haha) Ina also sent me a photo of a fur bikini. Great to know they are out there for when I get into my gym routine and lose a few pounds. (haha)
Still laughing!!
Cheers - Ann
PS..this is all Ray's fault. He started it!!! (haha)

Rina, this is an amazing photo and I really love it--it's going into my favourites! Great title, too. Did you know it's what Bob Hope said about the British climate? "You have four seasons just like the US. You just have them all on the same day."

Hey Rina, did I hear of a UF photo-convention over there? Sounds good to me! I like Susie's idea for a hotel, and Ann's idea of eating out, because I don't like to do the dishes. See what you get when you post a picture like this! I bet you didn't expect foreign guests :>)
Cheers, Ina

That's the sound of hubby hitting the floor as he passes out after reading my emails... Strange, can't see anything that would make a grown man faint (bats eyelashes innocently and shrugs) Oh well, I'll leave you to sort out a roster, I'm off! :)

Great - thanks Rina but forget the hotel. I'm with Susie and Ina. We'll all stay at your place. Of course we'll have to eat out cause we'll have all our camera gear spread all over the dining table. :) Oh and great that you have kids too so Susie can take photos of her best subjects. :) By all means still go ahead and fly to both north and south islands for a reccy. Now about your computer....we'll have to organise schedules of course so we can all upload our pics to UF. (hehe) You have a lot to do so I won't keep you any longer. :)
Cheers - Ann :)

To do list:
1. Fly to central North Island, take photos of Mt Ruapehu - check
2. Fly to South Island, take more photos - check
3. Post images to Usefilm, make Ann jealous - check
4. Find Ann hotel in Mission Bay, close to food - check
Notes for 1. and 2.: Must remember to sneak out before kids wake up. Oh yeah, must remember to come back also...
Great idea Ann. On my way out the door now!

Oh WOW! I knew you were going to tell me that about this scene being your backyard (so to speak). I can't believe it! I travel around the world most of my adult life and never got to NZ thinking it's so close to OZ I can go there anytime and now I'm so far away from it I can't get there easily anymore. So where's the nearest hotel? Somewhere near all those cosmopolitan restaurants I hope? This is such a beautiful scene. I'm so jealous. Do you have any photos of some of those beautiful mountians we see in ads and TV/movies? Would love to see some NZ mountian scenes next please. You do tkae requests don't you? :)
Cheers - Ann :)

Thanks Ann! Yes, silky smooth that Ray :)) Almost missed it myself! And ummm... yeah... this place is kinda my backyard. About a 10 minute drive away. On the other side of the road there, are tons of great Italian restaurants and cafes where you can sit and enjoy the view. Would recommend a visit here if you're ever in Auckland!

WOW Rina this is amazing. A gorgeous image. Very powerful weather in the clouds. Lovely curves in the rock wall along the waterfront and beautiful colour in the water. Nice splash of warmth in the sand. Lines of rocks, walls and roads taking our eyes all over this image. It's razor sharp and clear as a bell throughout. Superb image. I just love it and into my faves it goes. Now tell me this is your backyard and I'll really be jealous. Amazing capture.
Cheers - Ann :)

Hi Ina, thanks! Yup, she's a spectacular bump on the earth that Rangitoto. Very hard to do her justice though, as she's far more breathtaking than what you see here. I took this image mid-December last year when it was supposed to be Summer. Instead it was cold, windy and about to rain... Still, can't complain, after all it did create a wonderful mood. :)

Thanks so much Kanwarpreet! All I really did here was create two layers of the same image and desaturated the colour of one. Then basically 'blended' them together til I got what I felt was a nice mix of colour/B&W...
Very glad you like it! Cheers.

This is gorgeous, gorgeous. Beautiful white sands, wonderful movement in the waves, amazing details in the rocks and the moodiest mother of a sky I've seen in a long while. I love the curve around of the bay, I love the distant mountain, I love the colour of your eyes and the gentle smile upon your lips.........whoops..sorry..got a bit carried away there. Seriously, this is a wonderful composition my sweet Rina. Well done to you. Very best wishes and 'see' you soon sweetie....Ray

Wow, I want to be there NOW! Beautiful sweeping curve and great contrast of the light sand and dark rocks and deep green water. Great stormy sky, full of mood - and she throws a mountain in there, just for added interest. How selfish of you, Rina :)))) All that beach to yourself :))) LOL just an amazing landscape! Cheers, Ina
