What a fantastic capture! I can just feel myself on this wave having a wonderful time in the cool, refreshing water. You have portrayed this water like I could reach out and touch it. Marvelous perspective. Really well done! Thanks for sharing.

This is an amazing shot! Love the lift of that beautiful aqua wave. The little bit of foam on the slighy turn of the wave adds to the interest of this shot.

This almost look like you were standing in the water when you took it. This seascape has everything going for it. It's really a lovely shot! Wish I had a six!

    Thank you so much for your complimentary review and the tought of a six :-)
    I was indeed standing in the water. This kind of shooting is not recommended! It is dangerous for the camera and have to be done in a tight time frame before the wave rolls over. The camera has to be raised over head as high as possible right after the shot.

Nice shot!
This is a pretty scene! I have always enjoyed the ocean. This is the primary reason, waves! I like the palms in the background. Good job!

I can feel the wind blowing in this photo. Great composition with the center of focus on the surging tide and the top line of the wave drawing the eye to the windblown palms.

Wow and wow again. Fabulous capture.
Don;t know what is more impressive, the wave, the trees or the beautiful sky.

Very pretty water you have here. I also love how you kept some of the trees in the shot too. Gives it more depth and such great details :)

Wow, that a swell swell! I like the lighter green churning up from the bottom. I like the action of the waves on top. The clouds in the distance mimic the waves. Good timing. Thanks for sharing.
