Amazing! You captured this moment perfectly.You Are right every word would be meaningless. Perfect depth of field. I like the way the waves are just breaking and how soft the colors are on the water. Beautiful.

You are Right On my friend. It is time for ALL to recognize that we are mere observers and there are things so much Larger than our selves that we have not nor have the capacity to understand. Spot on my friend and thank you for your insightful review ~ Steve
Comment from Stringbean
This is a stunning sunset! Such a beautiful capture of the light and it's reflection and movement on the water. I like the rich textures on the rock and how it frames your photography. The long depth of field just brings us into your horizon. Your clouds and colors in the sky make for a dramatic scene. With all these elements working for you makes for an outstanding scene. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
A day at the beach always allows us the time to restore our soul. To have that "Be Still and Know" Moment knowing God is on the thrown in control and we are where we need to be.
Steve, the razor sharp focus and crisp Clarity is truly ahhhmazing using a cell phone.
The water splash up coming off the rock is what makes this so special. I like pure high speed stop action showing the purity.
There are those who only like the slow shutter speeds on water shots getting the silky look. Can't do that with a cell or iPad.
I like both. Reviews should be made on camera techs and what is there, not what one prefers or wishes. Full marks plus one should be given on this because of the Purity of the shot.
Exposure, Focus, white balance, stop action and POV are all superb here.
This is MAJESTIC and a Wall hanger!
Slap a Bible vs on here...hang!
This is my new favorite of yours and one of your BEST posted here.
Well done!
:)

Wow. Thank you so much Sandra. While I do appreciate the Six star review, I must admit that I have never received the Ultimate recognition of any of my photos until now. To receive the "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Award" is THE Crowning Achievement that anyone could possibly hope for. I don't know what to say.
Once again you have searched the depths of meaning and "seen" that which IS. It would be my honor to send this (or anything I have) to you to do with as you wish. As you know we do not own any of our photos. We are only privileged to be able to see and make a meager attempt to capture Him in action. What a privilege and blessing to be a good steward. I would be interested in your thoughts for a Bible verse to go with this. I had not considered that before. I know what ever you choose will be perfect and thus I Must send it to you. I think this is the way it is supposed to be ~ Steve

I have the perfect spot in my living room for these Steve.
?Mightier than the waves of the sea is His love for you.? Psalm 93:4.
Thank you for your sweet words and the honor of owning this beauty!

93:4 Perfection. Yet what else could it Be?
Send me you're e mail, pick All the ones you wish to do justice and give praise to HIM, and they are yours ~ Steve

You have it...you emailed a photo in March ;)

When you see something like this, it IS indeed larger than ourself, This is a breathtaking scene with the glowing sunset and the waves rolling in against the shore. I especially the splash from a wave on the left and how nicely the colors from the sky are reflected in the sea.
Your photo is also crisp and clear with sharp details and fine textures in the rocky area, and the exposure is perfect.
I also think the cropping works well, and the rocks on the left are working as a nice and natural framing. Indeed a beautiful and well taken photo Steve, and with an excellent DOF. I wish you luck with the contest.

Oh my. Annie I do so love your poetic and spiritually insightful reviews. Your details in what you see are always remarkable. LOL Even I don't see all the things You see. That is why I continue to learn from you as to what to look for in a scene. I am so pleased that you liked this. Not to be presumptuous here, but If you ever want any of my photos to use as you wish just let me know. Thank you again for your wonderful review and extra special rating ~ Steve

I always have a thorough look at photos before I start reviewing them, and then I have several more while I am writing. It is so nice to hear that you like my reviews, and you are of course more than welcome. Thank you very much for the offer of using your photos Steve. I will for sure keep that in mind.

Beautiful scene! I can imagine sitting there listening to the waves wash in and seeing that great sky. This is a truly inspirational photo that is a sermon upon itself. Great photograph.

Sunsets are always beautiful, but those with clouds seem more impressive. I love you natural colors and lighting. The low angle is perfect show the waves and the reflection. The sharpness of the splash on the rocks left it impressive. Those rock formations emphasize the seascape and balance the capture nicely.

A very nicely composed shot. I like the splashing water and the great angle on the rocks. The colors in the sky are amazing and the texture in the clouds is superb.
