“Setting out on the newly opened Wharf to Wharf Walk on the Sapphire Coast we timed our adventure to catch a sunrise over stunning Bournda Island. To our delight we were greeted with a morning sea mist which blanketed the landscape with a magical golden light. I took many photos along this walk however this is by far my favourite. This dramatic coastal scenery is truly spectacular and a must see for keen bushwalkers around Australia”.
Judge’s comment: “I love this photo – from the floating mist to the two bushwalkers who look mesmerised by the magic of the moment! The earthly colours are a lovely contrast to the walkers’ clothing, making the two people ‘pop’ out of the image. The power of any photo is one that makes me want to be there and this photo taken on the Sapphire Coast in southern NSW does just that. Also, there’s a stillness to the image that I really love. Two people are experiencing the beauty of a sunrise and normally at that time of day, it’s quiet and calm, and this stillness is translated through the image. Well done, David!” – Brent McKean
