[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this photo whilst visiting Victor Harbor with a friend. This is from the beach on the other side of a place called The Bluff. It is a very rocky beach of granite rocks, occasionally you do see a surfer there!
The views from the top of The Bluff are spectacular, which I may show at a later date. This photo was an experiment to capture the water at a slow speed.

THE BLUFF:
(Rosetta Head)
This prominent headland is formed of granite. The granite originated when magma was squeezed up from deep in the continental crust during the mountain building episode which occurred about 500 million years ago. This is known because sediments left by the ice age, which occurred at that time, rest immediately on top of it, and boulders of granite were carried, by the ice, northwards. The smooth rounded profile of the Bluff is attributed to the erosive action of this ice sheet.
On top of the Bluff a plaque, commemorating the encounter between Matthew Flinders and the French explorer Nicolas Baudin in 1802, has been affixed to one of the many large rounded boulders, typical of weathered Victor Harbor granite.
Several granite islands can be seen from the Bluff. They also bear signs of having been smoothed by ice passing over them. Granite from West Island, to the south, was used for the base and the steps of Parliament House in Adelaide. It is now reserved for conservation of wildlife habitat.

PP Work:
RAW to JPEG
Cropped the image a tad
Altered the contrast and brightness levels a tad
Sharpened the image

Hope you like it! Thanks for looking and for your comments and critiques! Cheers Tina :-)

Hello Tina,
your image is so impressive! Your experiment to capture the water at a slow speed succeeded!
Thanks for sharing. Regards,
Athanasios.

Hi Tina,
I am impressed with you photographic skills. This is a great image and you captured some great action with the water. I like that you positioned yourself with the rocks either side. I don't know that I would like to surf in this water, looks pretty rough. Nice one.
Cheers,
Debbie

Hi Tina: I love seascapes and this one made me stop and look a lot longer than usual. I love he ruggedness of the rocks and their outlines leading my eyes into the crashing wave,a very nicely composed photo ....thanks.......Roman

Excellent Tina. Lovely exposure on the waves closest to the camera. Good textures in the rocks and lovely light. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Foggy Days’

Thanks for sharing

This is impressive. I have personal liking of water. Water bring calm and serenity, which in truth is a living essential. The title " Mother Nature" fits in well with this photo. the composition is very balance and the jewel of the crown to this shot is the motion of a advancing wave. Thanks for sharing such a fascination shot.
