The action of the water being frozen in time is excellent. Now if the exposure was corrected this would be even better. Seems to be a bit over-exposed.

It almost looks too dangerous for him to land anywhere. To catch not only the waves crashing upwards but to also get his wings at the top like that is phenomenal. Great shot.

Dynamic photo! Full range of B/W tonal zones; with a lovely chiastic pattern (an X pattern) of upper left (white) to lower right (black) and upper right (dark) to lower left (light), with the seabird (black) upon the white breakers...genius! Clarity of focus, great aperture setting, and such wonderful movement. The energy is felt rather than seen. A sheer delight! 10

Nice capture - interesting light, nice frozen water motion and just the right amount of blur in the bird's wings.

Oh great capture! Love how the waves are crashing on the rocks as this single lone seabird searches for a safe perch. Either that or it has taken flight from the rocks to avoid the crashing waves. I like the B&W presentation of this action shot for I feel that the power of the waves and the action going on would have been diminished had this been in color. Color could sometimes call attention away from the main subject. It is strongly possible that the white/grey hues on the seabird would have been lost in the white foam of the crashing waves. Here the action/scenery is dramatic with the two tones bringing out and hightlighting the scene for the viewer to enjoy.
