Cabbage Tree Bay
This small rock pool is found in Cabbage Tree Bay, along the pathway between Manly and Shelly Beach on Sydney’s northern beaches. The sculpture/statue is known as The Oceanids. This image was a 30 second exposure nearly an hour before sunrise with the pool wall and sculpture lit up by a nearby street light.
This image has also won a photo of the week at photographer Steve Parish’s Photograph Australia website.

The long exposure has done something magical with the light. The whole scene comes alive
David Smith
Thanks everyone. I actually bought this as a print for myself. The black background around the print enhances the colours even more. I was most impressed with the result.
Cheers.

Congratulations on your photo of the week win, David. This is a stunning image and, as you pointed out, it really pops out of the black frame.

This is absolutely beautiful. I find sunrise/sunset shots to be a dime a dozen, but this has that extra something that makes it stand out from all the rest.
