Colour version of the view north-eastward across Hawkes Bay toward the Mahia Peninsula and Portland Island (top right) from Cape Kidnappers, New Zealand.
Centre left in that shallow bowl is one of the satellite Australasian Gannet colonies on the Cape. The entire cape promontory is actually a fenced off predator-proof enclosure to protect severely endangered bird and reptile species endemic to NZ. The gannets are doing really well now there are no cats, rats, stoats and weasels infesting the area.
Really struggled with photos taken on this particular day. It was a chance fiddle with an old LR preset that unlocked the potential.
