I love this. I totally missed this one in the Shoes challenge. Not surprisingly, 459 entries and all.

Great photo.

Wow very cool shot! It does look dangerous. Hey I just recovered my dad's entire HD last night after he had to reformat it and reinstall windows and EVERTHING came back perfect. He reformatted it two months ago. He was extrememly impressed and shocked. You should get everything back. I used "Recover My Files"

Congrats on your win!!

Originally posted by roadrunner: Originally posted by C Novack: This certainly captures the majestic beauty and power of the sea. I like how this capture shows the man standing there braving what nature will throw at him. He seems to be welcoming it because we see his arms thrown open wide - like he is ready to recieve this gift; this revelation. The only thing that weakens the strenth of this image is that the man is so small in the frame that he is almost lost. I realize that this could be a visual statement that when compared to nature man is small. But the thing is you do not want him to get totally lost in showing the powerful beauty of the crashing waves. If you zoomed in a little more the viewer would more readily be able to see the man standing there than having to search for him. thanks christine, i agree with you , but luckily it's only on a small 640 res that shows this, the actually photo in print size 24X16 is just totally mind blowing, you can see evrything...and it's just a tad lighter than here too.... this is the trouble we have with only being able to submit small photo sizes, so we need to realise this on other photos as well, i have some great photos in print size, but reduce them to 640 and you would'nt look twice at them..... something we should keep in mind anyway... cheers

Congradulations on your ribbon!! :-) I fully agree with you on the point that dimension size can make or break an image. In smaller images we don't always get the details or the majesty to a image at full view. As you said that you have this as a 24x16 and it is absoluting stunning. I am very sure that it looks absolutely wonderful on the wall:-)
