[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a quick shot i took of the freighter the Pasha Bulker. It has run aground in Newcastle NSW Australia after a fierce storm earlier in June.
At this present moment it is stuck fast to the beach.
As you can see it is taking quite a pounding by the seas and looks likely to for some time to come....

Enjoy

Hi Neil
Very nice shot
Good capture of the breaking wave.
The image colors are a little flat though and there is some kind of red color cast.
I also would like to have seen a bit more space on top.
I did rework the image a little for you in photoshop.
Hope you like it.
Best regards, Harry

such a good photograph

Dramatic action shot this shot exudes force with the wave action the size of the ship.

I listened to the report of this on the BBC world service this morning. Great piece of photojournalism. Apparently this is a potentiallty catastrophic environmental situation. It is carrying a lot of oil.

Hi Neil,
Excellent journalistic shot, the colours seem a little light but that is only a minor issue, you have caught the moment well with the wave breaking over the ship.

Hi Neil,
This ship certainly is getting a pounding, and as you say not likely to move in a hurry with more bad weather on the way. Just hope it doesn't start breaking up! Those waves are awesome! Well captured and TFS, from South OZ.
Cheers Tina :-)

Hi Neil,

Great shot of the Pasher Bulker.
Nice POV, i like the water splashing against the ship.
