You captured a 'glorious' wave in a fantastic way, love it!

lovely; doesnt necessarily have to have a surfer, but something needed - even if flotsam/jetsom.

GREAT capture of nature's force! Perfect timing on the shutter speed and I really like the way the wave fills the frame. Great tones too. Well done!

Good shot. Really shows the force of the wave
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Incredible shot... either you have a really good zoom lens, or a waterproof cover for your camera. One of the better photos in this challenge.

Lovely capture of natures power
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is the best wave picture I've seen in a very long time. Glad you have no surfer in it. It is much powerful without. Icame back to comment and fav.

Beautiful wave. Nice to see so many color tones in the water.

Stunning breaking wave. 7

Great capture of mother nature at her best.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 01:08:59 PM
Wow... amazing! One of those shots where you'd expect to see a surfer, but I think that would ruin it. The shades of blue, the great swooping line of the wave, and the raw power are fantastic here!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:03:04 PM
Feel the Power!! I would almost say that you need a surfer in the tube, but naa, this is great the way it is.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 10:33:24 AM
great drama
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 10:18:22 AM
Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 09:44:17 AM
Considering this is 'just a wave' I think it is an amazing image that really captures the power of the ocean. Fantastic. Well done and good luck for the rest of the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 01:32:18 AM

Strong. How did you get this close?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:51:57 AM
Very nice. Love the aqua in the center of the curl, and the wind-blown spray at the top of the wave. Nice sense of power and motion, but there is nothing to give its size context - I'm not sure that is necessary.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 10:33:27 AM
Simple yet effective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 09:44:07 AM

03/12/2009 06:52:17 AM

03/12/2009 12:07:41 AM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 11:06:16 AM
I had considered entering a wave shot of my own - I'm glad I didn't this is simply stunning. You can almost feel the power of that wave. The use of the light and colour is spot on. Well done - I'm very jealous:)

Love the line of aqua blue in the middle there.
