Your photo really shows the power of the waves. The sky seems so gentle in comparison. Wonderful change of colour between the waves. Great clarity and impact. Thank you

I really like this. I think it's more interesting with the sky cropped in half. That leaves only one color to not take away from the water scenery. The color of the water is beautiful and tells of something abnormal waves. The large wave in the middle is a good focal point. Nice.

    Thank you very much. That's funny and what we get for asking to much. I agree on the framing. I have that version. The sky almost cropped of. I showed the tight framed and the current version to people what don't know much about art and the rule of thirds. Something strange did happen, the current version was much better liked by the majority what left me baffled. I chose to post the picture as it is since I was thinking we make art for everybody, not for insiders. I'm still buffed the current feed back is about 3/2 for the posted version. I'm curious how that ends up and why.

    Thank you very much. It must look awesome at Lake Michigan. How big are the waves there coming to shore?

This is a truly amazing shot, it seems as though the camera was just lay on the sand waiting for the shot

Claerness gives it life and energy and the colours are striking

    Thank you. No it wasn't the camera but me on the sand. These shots are a little dangerous: Know when the wave brake snap jump up and back or the camera get drowned.

I really like this as it is more towards the normal colors of the sea waves on the shore..I like the green and brown here, it also has great depth, clarity, and presentation...lovely shot...well done.
