Precious Instant

Time briefly stops, as the Ocean takes a deep breath - and then the wave finally tilts over and breaks, meeting and mingling with the sand of the shore

This is a a gorgeous shot and a stunning view. Creativity is a heavenly moment, a special place; Artistry takes passion indeed, together with focus (perhaps to the point of obsession), craft and persistence; but most of all a clear perception of the special subject.

virtually_supine (not well - please see profile) says:

Amazing capture - lovely colours as the sunlight catches the rolling waves and a great sense of movement in the sea and the sand as the undertow sucks it down into the water. This made me shiver as I imagined the chill shock of the waves breaking over me!

Great Vision!
