Very good composition and colours. Nice to see the waves crashing against the rock. Lovely view of this beach. Well done.

Hi Alla,
Very nice contrasts here, you can also add solid/liquid, wet/dry. Excellent composition with the rock framing the right side. great colors and sharpness, TFS

Hi Alla

A good seascape with marvellous colours. I like the luminous wave with the light shining through it. Excellent sharpness & color. Well done!

Yes! Good observation, Alla. (your comment) Such power here in this surf, yet the rocks stand firm.

Love the colors. Super shot.

Gayle :)

Beautiful picture of the power of nature, Alla. You caught that wave just at the rigth time to show its strenght against the rock. Good composition, colours & sharpeness. Well done!

This is a beautiful shot Alla. Excellent POV captures the waves at the water level, with the sunlight showing through. I like it very much.

Hi Alla,

Nice shot. I liked the thumbnail more, I think some PP to make it look like a painting will do good here, but the WS is turned off...

Cheers,
Pedro

well this is a great capture. It would be on my wall if I had the original. Keep it up and go back to this spot for more shot's please.

very nice shot..truly, the contrast is so much noticable.. i loved seeing this

Wooooooooow!

Wonderful shot, beautiful place!
Good colors!

TFS,
Chris

Hi Alla,

Hi! Alla,
Having looked at all your posts I have picked this one as my favourite. It has so much to offer in terms of colours, textures,action, as well as a fine composition. Most would have used a long exposure here with Filters but the water blues would have been lost. You have capture them so well. I don't mind cloudless skies as long as they are only a small portion of the overall. The essence here is that blade of sand which could be bigger but still it makes the shot.
Your black swan taking off could benefit from Kit's corrections and it will look much better. Snow in Australia!! wow I never knew that happened. Your images have given me a good insight into your country. I will hopefully see it for myself soon.
You are now being watched from afar! Well done Alla!
Mike.

Fantastically captured, Alla.
I had to click when I saw the thumbnail, as it looked so good even that small.
You really did bring out those contrasts you mention in your note.
Regards,
Andrew.

Excellent capture Alla, you have a wonderful gallery!

GT

This is everything you say, and more: I am awed by the way you've captured the translucence of the waves. Rich colours and sharpness, too. Beautifully taken.

Hello Alla!
