hi :)

I like this alot, David.  Beautiful colors and very unique image.  I don't ever recall seeing a shot like it before, with the spray and curl so equal.  Love the lighting.

Very well done...

Incredible light play on the on the wind ripped waves, a really beautiful combination of strong colours textures and subdued tones. I've never seen anything like it either! Stunning capture!

Fantastic wave and excellent light!

Very original and smart. Catching these colors in the wave is stunning!

1/10 s. seems just about perfect to almost stop the wave but capture the blowing mist. The gold sun reflection may be a little overdone.

incredible shot.. congratulations..

Very well done!  Good calendar material.

Amazing shot!!! I love the colors!!!!

Breathtaking!  Excellent concept, color, composition, and execution. The shutter speed is perfect.  It show motion without blurring the details too much.

this is very beautiful,well done.

Hi David,

Masterful, wish I had shot it! The blue and gold colors contrast so beautifully in this image and the action is so real! A painter couldn't have done it better.

A beautiful capture. What an incredible moment. Congrats, rek.

Yet another example of how you depict moments in nature in its exulted form.
