Cave Sunset, a photo from West Coast, South Island

Photographer's Note

Taken from a hidden cave we accidentally stumbled upon... wasn't so easy to find our way back to civilisation again. But the photo made it all worth it.

Hello Antony,
Welcome on TE and what a debut! This is outstandingly beautiful! I fully believe you when you say the photo made it all worth it. The illumination and exposure control are out of this world. I do not see a single element here that does not make a beautiful contribution to the whole. Full marks for this fabulous image.

Hi Antony,

Superb scene from one of the most attractive countries in the world. I love the watery foreground and cliffs adorned with a variety of coastal plants. The lighting and colour combinations are very surreal and beautiful. Great photo management throughout, a fine and memorable composition.

Hi Antony,
What a magical place! That cave opens right at the sunset giving perfect natural framing for this view. Exposure is just right and reflections give golden tones to details. Wide angle and smallish aperture shows the whole scene sharp.
Welcome to TE!

Brilliant shot, Anthony - almost mythic. The light is incredibly varied given the single source, and it does a great job of outlining the cave and surroundings. Wonderful first submission - keep them coming!
