What a lovely capture of the waves jumping into the air with the dark contrast of a boiling sky in the background. Nice work. I think if you used a softening brush on the sky, it may remove some of the pixelation from sharping the image. Other wise lovely shot.

Oh Cleo this is just a perfect shot. I love how you captured the dark storm clouds in the background and the movement of water is absolutely perfect. Such detail in the waves and the water is as beautiful in color just as I remember. My favorite part is the part i have circled, a great stop of movement. This is a shot I'd love to get myself. Good luck in the contest, this is a great submission.

    Thank you so much Lynseey, Yrs that part is my favorite too. There is a coral head under what makes the waves dancing but a never seen a pretty splash like this before.

I've just seen this photo when I was voting the Contest. The stars are not important and surely there were some members that gave you the sixth. I love this blue tones and the clear sand and white splash to the dark blue on the horizon line and so beautiful cloudy sky. I'm unjust and losing myself with your help on my reviews and forgetting to see yours. :( A great public Wowwww ! To your photo and person too.

    Thank you so much for you great review. No stars aren't that important. There were some who gave 6 but others gave 3. So it levels. Don't worry about stars.
    Thank you so much for your as always kind and supportive review. I'm happy you like my photo.

This is an interesting photograph with good detail and superb colour. Focus is excellent. Composition is also very good indeed. Lighting is impressive. I particularly like the movement here

This is so pretty. I love the stormy look of it. The layering of colors is very appealing. The movement of the water is apparent as is rises and falls with the waves. It makes for a very compelling presentation with strong visual impact.

I love the different colours you've captured in this seascape showing the angry looking sky and showing the movement in the beautiful jade coloured sea. The sand in the foreground creates good contrast. Lighting and focus very good. Very nice.

Comment from CopelandPhotography


Amazing. Simply amazing. I actually had to read the caption and really look at it to tell that it wasnt a painting. I just looks so fake, yet it is so real! It is because of the amazing color and clarity. The details are amazing. I am very impressed. Very.

    Thank you so much for your generous and supportive review. Yes it is reality, truth even we won't see this often. I think the splash itself looks somehow unreal too. The splashing waves are caused by coral heads underneath.
Comment from Cat


I have seen it look like that there before a storm and you have captured it so beautifully. The splash of the wave to the right is amazing - looks like a painting and the colors are very intense. Gorgeous. Cat
