Cabbage Tree Bay by David Smith

Cabbage Tree Bay by

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.

    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.
