Daan, you got some AMAZING shots there!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!! Where to start? Oh, I know, the penguin shot (very cute, especially given the distance). Thanks for thinking of me and making sure you got a shot!!

The sharpness and colour on virtually all of these shots is jawdropping. My faves are #4, 9, 10, 11 (that's an albatross, right?), 13 (very cool perspective!), 15 (love it!!), 18 (interesting reflections), 19, 20 (awww, lookit da puppy!), and 21. Tough job to even narrow it down. Man, I LOVE this thread!

The colour in #6 is just downright amazing, I'm glad you didn't bump up the saturation on that one (some would be tempted to). and #15 is beautiful.

excellent shots mate, 9, 10 and 17 win it for me

 

[doenoe]

Thank you all so much, its just great
And yes, #11 is an albatros. Not one of the biggest flying around there, these can get a wingspan of about 2.5 meters. While the biggest can get a whooping 3.5 meters.

Seriously I'm running out of adjectives to adequately respond to your threads...
Jaw dropping.

Fantastic shots Daan. Looks more like you were on assignment for National Geographic than just on Vacation.

Nice work mate.

wow. great series .. too many to comment individually though

So I will just name my favourites: #4 and #6

#4 is really special, even though just sheep .. it looks almost as if those sheep had training in camouflaging

 

[doenoe]

[LeighAnn]

Superb pics mate...

6, 11, 19 are my fav's, very sharp. In fact, what am I saying, all of those shots are sharp. Still gotta have your fav's.

brilliant series..

Wow, your shots are simply stunning.

I'm going to new zealand in a few months, but your photo's make me want to fly out as soon as possible.
