Shades of Blue
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 14 November 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
Thought I would post a few this week from my trip back to New Zealand Earlier this year
This shot is from Napier from the Bluff hill lookout, I just loved the range of blues in the seas
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

This is lovely. It has a surreal and abstract feel to it. Nice image.

This makes a fine abstract until one learns that its the ocean....then it makes a different sense. I too really like the marvelous range of blues in this image. Beautifully done.

So serene - even if I didn't know what it was I could lose myself in all that blue. It's very calming.
