New Zealand

One would be forgiven if you thought this was on a tropical island in the Pacific or similar. But its Kaiteriteri in the north of the South Island, NZ! I was high above this beach on a cliff top and a steadied the camera against a tree to try and focus on the distant beach down there.

it's like you're an alien observing the earthlings! super focus and that beach looks great!

Cool perspective. Great focus. This shot makes me long for summer.

@daisymiller Yes, that wonderful feeling of very little clothing on!

Wonderful perspective. FAV

It does look very tropical and you have positioned yourself perfectly to catch the people in the breaks of the trees,Great timing!

[KWind]

Wonderful framing! Looks like a beautiful beach. My daughter and I are planning a trip to NZ January 2018. We're going to see my sister in Melbourne with my son and husband for Christmas. They will leave and then Kennedy and I are going to stay another ten days and explore NZ.

@kwind So many wonderful places in NZ but you have to allow plenty of time to travel. Its longer to get somewhere than you would think!

The use of vegetation to frame the shot gives it an authentic feel. Love the scene you captured.

Got it good shot ,, no beached wales which have been on our TV as news from NZ this week end

[Maggiemae]

@philcameron59 They were a bit further north, Phil! Those words, I apply to myself in a swimsuit - - beached whale!

[Gillian]

I like the way you've used natural framing.

[Ann Williams]

I love walks like this, where you get a glimpse of a beach through the trees.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

You really do get the feeling of distance in this shot.
