Hi...

I like the photo. You have used a good shutterspeed that makes the water move but not get to soft. The clouds is great and I can really feel the cold wind.

Good job bob // Johannes

Hi Mitchel, welcome to the landscape forum.

Very impressive image. Composition is nicely chosen from the FG bowl in the rocks to the BG overcast and cold looking clouds. I agree with Johannes that the shutter speed is perfect to get this blurring in the wave - it shows the flow, creates a nice pattern but does not look too soft.

BTW, please post the technical information like exposure, ISO, camera, lens, filters, etc. as that helps us critique and learn how the image was made.

Hi Mitchell and welcome. I cannot tell you how much I love this image. It is spectacularly well done, esp. the timing and the COMP. I love the spotlit effect on the middle of the breaking wave. My eye just keeps moving and grooving when I look at this one. It might do well in the BBC Wild Places category...

Excellent! Beautiful lighting and dynamic subject matter. The flow of the water grabs you and brings you into the image.
Imoact...impact...impact is what you have here. Well done!

Hi Mithcell,
Agree with all above. The layers of water movement.....from the FG silkiness to the mid frame wave........very well composed! .........add a very dramatic sky.......just super!

Oh yeah...definitely want the specs on this one! That water is really fabulous. The motion of the waves and the drama of the rest of the image - it's really superb!

Thank you so much everyone, I so very much appreciate your positive feedback and kind words. Excuse my tardiness in replying, had all sorts of Internet connectivity problems this week and a busy week to top it all.

I have added some details to the original post regarding settings, equipment etc.
