Charlotte,
A beautiful stop action picture of the waves crashing on to the rocks on the South coast of Lanzarote with three people like tiny "dots" on the crest of the rocks. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

    Thank you so much Susan for your review, I?m pleased you managed to see the tiny people, they really do help to add scale to the pic.

Can just see the people when I view full screen image.
A good stop action of the waves against the rocks. Colors appear natural and the texture of the rocks is shown clearly.
Interesting cloud formation overhead.
Good composition overall.

What a beautiful capture of a tumultuous wave crashing on the rocky shore.
The time of day is perfect for the exposure.
The teal color in the water and the azure blue sky are such a harmonious mingling of hues.
What a moment! Thank you for sharing.

Wow this is a great image. I am glad you incorporated the little people LOL It really does show the scale of the waves. You have a great vantage point. Excellent focus. Great colors. Great action. Spectacular view. A perfect contender for the Sea photo contest. This will be hard to beat. Really well captured. Best of luck!

    Thank you SO much Monica! I?m pleased you could make the people out, they?re so small! But without them it?d be hard to appreciate how enormous the wave was!

Great capture of the enormous waves crashing on to the rocks on the coast of Lanzarote - I just returned from a holiday there two weeks ago so this was a lovely reminder for me! I like the angle you used for this shot. I live on the coast in UK and I know the power of the sea, which this shot shows perfectly. Very good camera techniques. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

    Thank you so much Suzanne! As you mentioned you come from the UK I checked out your profile and see you used to live in Suffolk, the county of my birth!! Where abouts did you live? Always fun to discover another Brit!

    I only lived in Dedham for about six years, looking after my eldest granddaughter while my son and his wife were working. I returned to Yorkshire after that as that is where my heart is! Suzanne

    Well that I totally understand, Yorkshire is so beautiful! But hey, if you?ve got to be in Suffolk, Dedham is pretty nice - or it would be without all the tourists!

    Agreed!

Oh WOW I absolutely love this capture of such large waves crashing into the rocks. It has such impact and appeal. I love the whole composition, the sky the rocks, the wild sea. I would love to be there! Great lighting, clarity and focus are excellent. This will be a hard one to beat in the contest Charlotte!

    Thank you SO much! It was an amazing place to visit once you get away from the towns, which are totally geared to the tourists - including English pubs with live football ugh! I hired a car and discovered that beyond the town it was virtually empty, just the odd pioneer like myself! Lol

"Good Show',Charlotte!
That's a genuinely interesting photograph~
It's presentation is really cool! ( I especially like your inclusion of those people to illustrate the size of the waves! ) and it's honestly 'Tons of Fun' to look at! : D
