Christian Vetter
What an amazing action shot. It really pulls you into the moment, antisipating the wave to come crashing and spraying. The composition is gerat. Well captured my friend.
Craig Shillington
Thank you Christian :) It was a wonderful day with a lot of awesome wave photos :) I felt so privileged to have captured this one :)
Paul Vanzella

Thank you so much Meanderthal. :)
Devan Foster
what a fun photo! as you say, a freak wave!
Craig Shillington
Sure was Devan. Actually … I was luck cos I was taking shots of the waves crashing on the rocks in front of me and was trying to watch when the waves were breaking (timing them to break on the rocks for the shot) so I was watching an noticed something just a little different with this one ;)
Craig Watson
Sensational Shot… one of those “once in a lifetime” type things no doubt… If someone painted this, no one would believe it actually occurred!!!
Well done!
Craig Watson
PS… if you want to join two words together in the tags area simple type the “underscore” in between the two words…
eg craig_shilllington as an entry will keep them together in the tags on the screen.
Craig Shillington
VBS Thanks Craig … yes …. I had never seen this before and doubt I will ever see anything like this again. I feel so lucky to have captured it :) :)
And thank you SO MUCH for the tip on joining words as tag!!! In Flickr we use quotes … I had no idea how to do that here!! Thank you :) Did you get my reply to you about links?
Craig Watson
No… I can’t remember which one I left the question on so a tip in the right direction would be good. I love the one the other night with the WOTW… Thinking of it now, is that where I asked about the links???
Craig Shillington
Hehehehe Ya dag … .you had me thinking then too ;) Yeah … it was on Forever Autumn
Tony Middleton

Such a great shot. I love the colors and the translucence of the wave as it peaks.

WONDERFUL CAPTURE, WOW great timing, love that green in the wave and the detail….well it’s just such a perfect capture!! Love it.

Liz Wohlrab
oh now that is an interesting capture love natural movement, i have to say i have never seen a wave look like this outstanding capture Love it
Craig Shillington replied
It amazed me too Liz!! I am so glad I was lucky enough to have caught it. The secret to this was a strong wind blowing out to sea … somehow it picked up the water on the crest of the wave and made it even higher. At least that’s what I believe happened :) :)
Liz Wohlrab
just amazing
so now we no its a one and only capture
love it well done
Craig Shillington replied
Actually .. .something I have never done is have a look online to see how many others have caught waves like this. That could be interesting :)
InkandBrush
That is impressive!
Craig Shillington replied
VBS Thanks InkandBrush :) :)
cwwphotography
What an amazing shot, this is one of those photographs that you could stand in exactly the same place and never be able to get this again. Fantastic!
joak
love sea shots craig you did great hear
lareejc
wow! Craig this is a fantastic capture! I dearly love ocean scenes and waves are different every time. Have you ever tried taking photos with a pair of binoculars over the camera lens? I should find a couple that I took on my 35th wedding anniversary at the Oregon coast.
Craig Shillington replied
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh How creative would that be Laree!! I might have to give that a go at some stage. :) I want to attach my Camera to a telescope and get shots of the planets too :) :) VBS
