Man how cold is this. Being in SA never seen anything like this and whish sometimes to see this in life. Could not have been comfy conditions in which this was taken. Only thing I would have changed is to crop a bit off at the bottom (and maybe top...playe around with this) and played a little with ss. Bottom detracts a bit from the main scene 8

I love images that illustrate the power of the sea and man's struggle to defend against it. This is a great example, well imagined and well made. Among best in show.

Brrrrr! Great capture! Love the muted tones - they fit well with the environment. A lot of people would have "overdone" the colors and HDR, but you used subtlety to your advantage.
