Another great shot of the wave. The vertical framing makes the wave looks tall and dramatic.

This one looks even more dramatic. The waves are so fierceful and rough. Perfect timing to have frozen the wave. Great series!

niccodeamus says:

well, i am very sorry that it is the last, but what a sequence!
perfect combinations of soft, perfectly directed light and the brutal force of a riled nature. luck, good fortune? perhaps, but I doubt it. Excellently executed and the processing is immaculate

That is stunning. You managed to capture the word 'power' in a picture.

Well done.
