Respect for the Sea

It was a windy day and the sea showed its muscles. How do you like the

photo?

Soothing and turbulent at the same time......I love the water and waves...and the tones of this...Absolutely beautiful!

Hi there,

I like the BW conversion, the grays are really great, however the combination strong waves slow shutter does not work for me. I would preffer to see a high speed shot here; freezing the waves breaking would increase the impact.

cheers,

I like it a lot - well done :-)

What a powerful shot. Love the way the waves seem to mount one on top of the other (rather than the way many "slow" shots make them all one misty levetl. Great black and white, and awesome pilings (what I wouldn't give to shoot this place). Might be good with a hair more space on the highest left piling, but not bad at all the way it is

 

by the way, if you know, how many seconds was this?

I like the composition,and the tones are good.The horizon could be tilted a bit though.Nice shot!

I do like the combinaison of waves and slow shutter. However, I would prefer a bit more sharpness ont the wood pilars. Just a tought.

 

Cheers

Beautiful capture. I like the way the waves are stacked. Great composition and DOF. I like the shutter speed you used for this shot. I really like the way the water is comming at the pylon from the side at the bottom left. Truely an excellent b&w capture.

I am always facinated with this shot. I really like the slow shutter speed effect and the color tone of the picture. Congrats and best regards

Thanks for all the kind comments. I took over 50-60 photos to capture this shot and this one:
