Take a Breath

WOW Chuck! Intensely perfect! There are waves - - and then there are waves - - and then there is one like this. Man vs. the power and strength of Mother Nature! Simply, an amazingly intense captured image and moment! Impressive scale perception, angle, crop, clarity, etc., etc., etc. Very powerful, perfectly captured and presented. WOW!! Perfect 7s!

Impresionante composicion.Verdadero impacto.un saludo

That's pretty scary, if not fatal!!!

 

Great shot. Happy New Year :)

This a great shot. Truly a work of art

Congratulations on an absolutely awesome image!

Great capture!

Absolutely awesome!!!!! Congratulations on a fantastic capture!

Wonderful capture, the wave is beautiful and ominous. I agree the image deserve a 10.

I can only say its gra8 captured

Fantastic!!, One really has to take more than a breath with the walls of water just cascading over, ready to swallow one up. Very good. Valerie

Scary!

really got the definitive momment here. The water looks so white it reminds me of snow.

Excellent,congrats!

the most ferocious expression of the nature before the man, full of great feeling of fear

a classic image superb love it

You have to love Wiamea shorebreak. It's one of the most recognizable & powerful wave images. I've seen several nice ones, but my favorite is a surfer coming back in making a completely vertical drop from the top.

Wonderful but... what's happend to the guy in the picture?

It's terribly wonderful!

Congratulations - that is a great photo..........

Great photo. I think that it looks a lot worse than it really is....right? I hope so anyway! I would love to visit Hawaii and see/feel this first hand. Maybe one day soon I will. GREAT JOB! and I ageee that this should at least be the photo of the week! (ELVES, are you listening?).

Wow! Chuck, even a tsunami will not be so threatening. Hopefully he made it out OK. Yeah at least one deserving of a POW!

Breath-taking image.Fantastic capture.

Oh dear God have mercy!

As a surfer in the UK I've been caught in some nasty impact zones, but thankfully nothing to compare with that monsterous beast. I hope he had big lungs.

 

Perfect timing, perfect composition. Wonderful shot.
