Thank you so much.
A wider shot was inpossible. This is already white angle. I was close to the wave standing in the water with my back to a three feet wash out of the beach sand disappearing under my feet shortly before tropical storm Dolly passes over the Yucatan Peninsula.

That is an awesome swell of water. So is the distant storm. I also like the way the water is churning the brown sand. The water itself looks very clear. Awesome picture!!

I haven't had a lot of luck photographing waves from head on. They always seem to look smaller than they do in real life. That being said, this looks like a large wave. I think what I like most about this photo are the bands of color, the sand at the bottom, the green of the wave, the aqua of the ocean, and then the varying greys in the clouds.

Thank you for viewing and your kind comments. Yes this was a large wave. Photographing waves is a question of the angle. If the wave is photographed in a downward angle the waves will look smaller. This here is a had on shot without any angle. Think a horizontal line between wave and camera. That is not without danger. You have to be very fast and you need to know were the wave will crash to keep the camera from getting damaged by water. A wave looks bigger then in nature with an upward angle but for this you better have a underwater camera since it is inpossible to keep the camera dry.

Absolutely gorgeous capture of energy in several forms - wow this must have been somewhat of an intimidating thrill - so much about to unfold and this is the hint - powerful surge in the water - colors are so so so rich - layers of interest and this is so special in my view. Loved it. Sue

From a scale of 1 to 5:
Initial impact 5
Creativity of presentation 5
Color Harmony 5
Center of Interest 5
Technical Excellence 5
Technique 5
Story Telling Ability 4 (1 less for no tech notes)
Lighting 5
At first (as a thumbnail) it also looked like a refined painting. The tones from dark to light makes the composition very dramatic and apealing. The bottom brown water portion seemed like marsh at first. Why is that?....
Very interesting wave about to crash. I love the whole piece!

Thanks so much for viewing and your kind comments. I'm honored with the high rating. Thanks for the tip of the tech notes. I'm new to the site. Means that what camera I was using or technical notes as metering mote etc?
The brown is sand just washed out from the beach. I was standing in the water wile the sand around me was lost to the ocean.

My Goodness! I can't beleive you were standing in the water w/ all that stormy windy day!. Your camera did not get wet?... I'll be freaking out!.
Probably you took it w/ a pocket camera in auto mode. Did you? If you did, forget about the tech notes. Pocket cameras don't understand Manual too well. If you had another kind of digital maybe you were using Manual. If you did, Aperture (Examplef/5.6) and Shutter Speed (Example:1/250 sec) are the most important tech notes.
Well... whichever you had, I trully like the image as a photograph as well as an "art piece" for all kinds of media (hand media not computer). it has a lot of elements from light and detail to study... see what I mean?

This is indeed a very clever representation, the story for which is conspicuously imposed by the brooding background storm and thrashing waves. Very well done and thank you for sharing.--Dr. Carlton
