One of the many perfectly formed waves breaking along Sydney's beaches. This one came through unridden, but still exists as a part of every surfer's universe.


Lyrics from a Eurythmics song.....

Sweet dreams are made of this

Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas--
Everybody's looking for something.

Another great one - the sharpness here is good, and the plume of spray is terrific. Great colours inside the wave especially but with good gradients of blue throughout the frame.

Hi Murray,
Your surf pictures are stunning and so is this one! Great how you captured the spray of the surfboard. Great sharpness and fine colour and contrast. An attractive posting my friend!

Annie Lennox' song certainly fit this image Murray. I do like the diagonal waves, they are well defined, and the surfers are well positioned. regards.

Hi Murray,

Great surf shot. The colors and sharpness are wonderful. I also like the way you've captured the spray from the surf.

I always enjoy your great action shots. Very good detail. TFS

Beautiful blue shot Murray! Great timing to get the 'pipe' in perfect formation, and the spray off of the wave. I think I could sit and watch that for hours!

Hi Murray

Good horizontal layering with the undulating waves, & the surfers add scale & context. I like the green aquamarine colour of the sea. Tfs!

how did I miss this shot! those blue waves, attractive, sharp and smoothly rolling after each other! it is like a sweet dream of a surfer into the deep blue water, so amazingly captured, defined and clear.. as usual the perfect moment, the lovely splashing and all this action is presented superbly!

thank you for sharing and greetings Murray
