Wave Rider

Amazing how the Skimmers can avoid the crashing waves just at the right time. Wanted to create a little different Skimmer image. I love the feel of the ocean and the power of the waves. Tried to capture some of that here.:D

Excellent composition I like the crashing wave and the one building in the BG well done Joe.

Love it Joe! You have really captured a great moment here. Stunning composition and I can certainly feel the power of the ocean - well done :)
Best,
Nicki

I really like that big wave building in the background -- nicely presented

[arash_hazeghi]

looks a bit scary for skimmer with that big wave! TFS

Nice timing Joe. Not your average Skimmer shot and that is why I like it so much. Well done.

[Sid Garige]

Really like the overall composition. Very well composed.

Hey Joe, This is one of your very best. Killer placement of the bird while maintaining focus. I only wish for a bit more separation of the skimmer from the breaking wave. The face of the wave in the back is obviously awesome!

[Bill Dix]

Beautiful composition with awesome waves, front and back. Would have made a lovely shot even without the skimmer. Agree with Artie that just a bit of separation between bird and breaking wave would have put this over the top - but very handsome just as it is.
