Congratulation for the honor and the really wonderful picture. You are the specialist for dreamlike landscapes. The important American photographer Ansel Adams would have become envious. Do certainly you know your famous compatriot?
Cheers Gerhard

It looks almost surreal. The lighting and the creamy sense of motion are grand. I really like how you have captured the spray on the rocks. Unique and lovely.

Marc -- I just spotted the "Art Wolfe" award you won for this photo! The award was given in the Summer 2006 Environmental Photography Invitational. I read about it on the PhotoMedia website at this location:

http://www.photomediagroup.com/archive/2006-summer/EPI.html

Congratulations! Very well deserved. This truly a stellar image, worthy of note and award. Well done!

Best Regards,
-Mike.

Staff choice is definitely well deserved...the most intriguing aspect of this photo is of course the waves crashing into the rocks, and as if that weren't enough the colours are gorgeous. Excellent composition!

The ocens' fury is amazing to watch. I love the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. Everyone should see the ocean during their lifetime, I know there are many who have not seen it.

The composition and lighting are perfect. Don't know exactly whereabouts you were for this shot, but capturing an image like this was probably worth it, but not recommended for everyone to try.

Well deserved Staff Choice and My Choice too. 7+!

wow.. beautiful scene.
Especially taken into account you did no significant PS-work, it's a stunning picture.
Great use of shutter speed adds a lot of drama.
Beautifully colored sky and all those rocks.. i love it.
Plus, i love the sea anyway:)
well done.

Marc -- A poetic image! The coloring, the texture, the tension, the diagonal line leading the eye through the image -- I can't find a single flaw with this image. You say it only took you a hundred shutter releases and wet clothes to capture this one? Time well spent. I recently attended a workshop wherein the instructor's mantra was this: a bad day capturing photographic images is better than the best day at work. From my view, your one hundred captures seems to validate that mantra. I'll bet you were broadly smiling the whole time you were perched on that rock! Thank you for posting such inspirational images. Your work is appreciated.

Would it really Bob? Would it look more 'natural' to freeze water in motion or attempt to show it in motion?

Hi Marc, i can see the danger in this shot, but you handled it extremely well. This is awesome. The tones, the postprocessing and the composition -- simply spectacular. The dynamic feel in this photo is quite powerful. Very impressive.

A stunning shot Marc!!!!!! but I would have liked it to be more natural with a fast shuter speed as it is a wonderful shot no dought, but it looks unreal as the iye dose not see it that way sorry.
But I do like it all the same..Cheers Bob Aldeidge

I knew it was a wet legs shot at the very least. Mate... I don't know how anyone can afford the film amd developing costs these days let alone the risk of all that expensive camera equipment. I guess we could classify this as an extreme sport huh?! Extreme photography!! PLease don't try this at home. (haha) Take care.

Cheers - Ann :)

I waded out and hopped onto a large rock for the perfect vantage point. The biggest danger was losing expensive gear to a rouge wave while firing off about 100 frames to land this one.

brilliant! I posted one yesterday - this was what I was TRYING to achieve! You've certainly insipred me to keep trying. Wow you've done it on film too - geez well done Marc.

Ann Nida Ann Nida   {K:45248} 1/9/2006
A stunning and dramatic image Marc. The light is spectacular. The movement of water is gorgeous. The composition is excellent and I'm guessing that's where the danger comes into it. You probably had to sit precariously on some rock hoping a rogue wave wouldn't sweep you away into the wild waters. Well...you survived it and got the photo so it was worth the risk, but sometimes, we who like to delve into what I like to call "stunt photography" need to be more careful when getting our "sweet" shot of the day. Take care out there.

Cheers - Ann :)

Golden hour, long time of exposure, fog make this wonderful landscape. I would also try some other framing to show some more coast.

Marc,

The color, the contrasts, the framing, the exposure, I believe if a perfect shot can be taken, this is it.

Congratulations on such a beautiful photo.
