Impresionante Max. Ya te lo han dicho todo, solo que me parece soberbia. Mi enhorabuena.

Perfect timing and light. Also very good B/W and details.

Regards Vassilis.

Tiempo sin verte Max....es fantastica. Saludos

Wonderful shot Max. Not just the right place at the right time but a bit of compositional luck too. Good on ya for getting out there and getting this one.

 

Michael, I suppose this shot was faked by multiple photographers...?

Great image :)

Outstanding!

Buenas. Soy Zyriab, y te queria decir que es quizas la mejor foto que te conozco. Absolutamente deliciosa, transmitiendo fuerza y al tiempo serenidad ante los elementos, el formato vertical es perfecto, y sobre todo hay una maestria en la exposicion de una imagen nada facil. Todo un altar, un retablo a la naturaleza. Mi enhorabuena y mi 7/7.

Veo que fue una tarde fertil para Marina y para ti, la suya tambien preciosa, haciendo mas hincapie en el color; luego pasare a comentarsela porque tambien es una maravilla.

Un saludo

A truly stunning achievment.

Excellent!

really a fantastic picture... must have been tense to be standing and witness nature's fury at work. I am amazed at the sharpness of the picture... great work . bravo ...

excellent..a masterpiece..congrats

This picture has all the ingredients for making a great photograph. Fine details of the sober waves in the foreground, a beautifully lighted, massive furious wave surrounding a solidly standing lighthouse in a vertical balance, the rocks maintaining the horizontal balance and providing contrast to the main subject, BW accentuating the mood and impact, make it an excellent picture. It is a treat for the eye and awe for the mind.

Perfection..

EXCELLENT.Best regards.

Very impressive image. Nature's furry in all its beauty.

Amazing!!!

This is a a true work of art! I'm speechless. What a beautiful capture.

El poder es increible. Buenisima.

This lighthouse does exist. There are plenty of images on the net that show it. While none have such a graphic example of waves, it's obvious that severe weather there could make this shot very, very possible. Here's one example... http://www.wunderground.com/data/wximagenew/l/lunada/2497.jpg

 

Might just be a bunch of dodging and burning going on here to cause some of the light anomalies you see. It's safe to say the lighthouse is as shot. Whether there was some wave manip, well, maybe but considering what else is being done these days this is timid by many standards...

 

I really like this image. It has real impact.

STUPENDA!!! complimenti

Spectacular photo! Congratulations!

I think there probably was some dodging around the lighthouse, to provide a brighter background and bring out the lighthouse more. I really like this in B&W. The texture of the rocks and foreground water provide a nice balance to the powerful wave above the lighthouse. It might benefit from a little more careful PS work, but perhaps the lighthouse can be brought out better with work in the channel mixer, rather than dodging.

This is a spectacular picture.

Beautiful, dramatic, and a document of the awesome power of nature. Nice to see a picture that captures a rare moment, rather than a highly staged, highly photoshopped, wide angle "look at the foreground" cliche.
