parting waves

Watching wave after wave, I began to get a sense of what surfers see.

Every wave is different and it is nearly impossible to guess in

advance how it will break and which one will be the next big one.

Each wave has multiple personalities and behaviors. Comments and

critique appreciated.

Wayne,

  Dramatic scene with powerful waves & perfect title, it reminds me of a painting.  Take care, Patsy

Beautiful color and lovely formation .

Nice effect, like the movement and energy.

Patsy,

Many thanks.

Tuhin,

Thanks for stopping by and the kind comment.  I am surprised I have not been following your work.

Chris,

Thanks.  The waves spoke to me of power (but I have been caught in a rip current before) 

Wayne,looking this in large view I feel the power,energy of this huge wave.I like the flow seen and color contrast green -white foam.I think can find two identical to shot ,so this is a very interesting subject.

best regards

This treatment really emphasizes the movement and shape of the water, This becomes very painterly in presentation. Nice!

Great capture of the motion Wayne

Radu,

Many thanks. The waves were mesmerizing.  But as with all art, it took time to figure out how to present them as I was "seeing" them.

Charles,

Thanks.

Gary,

Thanks.  The fun was figuring out how to present the waves as "thick and syrup like" as I was perceiving them.

Maria,

Thanks.  Yes, shaping water.
