Cleo, this is lovely. The way you have caught the waves, it almost looks like a painting. Great stormy looking color and texture to this one.

Thank you so much. Yes this wave is something isn't it. I was very lucky to get it like this. I made many photos but this one turned out best. There is a coral head under water what makes the wave splash but I have never seen it like this before.

Comment from PoohBear
Nice capture here. I like the colors here of the mean storm coming. This is really showing how the sea does change and look when bad weather is on the way. Nice composition and crisp focus with nice exposure.

So beautiful. I love how you captured the waves breaking in such a dramatic form. The sky adds to it. I'm glad that you included the sand, as well. Very nice.

What a high impact seascape this picture is! The center of interest is certainly an attention-getter. You caught lovely harmonious colors and great detailed movement in the waves. The sky spells storm!

Thank you for your poetic words and your generous review. It could have been the title: The Sky spells Storm.

Comment from forgottenintheshadow
I love this photograph!! :) The colors are beautiful. I'm glad you decided to keep the sand in the picture along with the water and clouds. I also like that you caught the waves crashing against the shore. It looks like its about to storm. Maybe a different angle of taking the picture so that its not straight on.

Thank you for your generous review.
With a different angle the camera an I would be very wet. The beach is small, the waves were already reaching my knees.
