Wow this was powerful ! The turbulent foam between the rocks really caught my eye and held me riveted to the scene. Sky behind on the horizon gives a lonely and sort a scary feel. I think you snapped this picture at the perfect time.

great shot and brilliantly composed and presented in an excellent structure. The colours are fabulous and energetic throughout and I feel as though Im stood on the rocky shore myself

Wow! A stunning capture and good entry into the Sea's Photo Contest and a good contender. Good foreground interest and dynamic capture and moody scene with the movement captured of thrashing waves rushing ashore. Gorgeous stormy sky and clouds. Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details and clarity in your image. Indeed a well taken photo with a good depth of field. Beautiful work and thanks for sharing. You live in a beautiful place! Best wishes in the contest!

Beautiful seascape photo with sharp focus, well balanced, and well thought composition. Great foreground element, action and rough seas. Overall, well thought out and great image.

Not only do the rocks look great in this scene with the deep colors and rich textures, but the shapes and color of the waves look great too. The image actually looks a lot like a painting :)

A beautiful shot that captures the restless nature of the sea very well. The details are very sharp and I like the light in the clouds. Excellent composition and great colors. Best of luck in the contest.

The photo seems composed like an painting. The colors of ocean and sky emphasize this impression even as the are realistic. The photo is well focused. The waves and the rock formations show well refined texture and detail. The composition is balanced and well framed.

It's a beautiful scene with the rocks and the sea, I love all of the motion here! Well focused, clear image with good light management, colors and tones appear natural. It's a beautiful sky too! Well composed and presented!

Comment from ArtistCarl


Alright, I was just about to pass by this one but decided to take a peek. Glad I did. I suspect you enjoy foul or rough weather probably because you can catch such dramatic shots like this one. The enhancement of sharpening this picture was a good idea as it adds to the vivid rawness of the scene. Love those ominous clouds in the background above the rough seas. This is really beautiful. May I save this in my favorites to use as a painting reference? Reasons for my six star vote.

    You are welcome. It does please me that you feel honored. However, it is not an actual answer of yes. Call me fundamental, but I need an answer of yes or no. Thank you for your time.
