Storm surge

Absolutely spectacular Mel

Holy cow what a dramtic and amazing image, sky wave, water movement rocks, stunning in every way Mel, a real standout in an oft photographed field, amazing.

Beautiful shot Mel. I would love to be able to produce an image like this. Love it.

now thats biblical!

Enough proof that God exists wow…. the wildness the livliness… amazing.

The light and power you have captured is marvelous.

Awesome!

this is marvellous

A hint of the recent hurricane in Texas perhaps – this is awesome, it’s got everything, colour, power, sound, taste (almost) ...

Fabulous low angle Mel and there seems to be water moving around in every direction pulling the eye with it. The sky is almost cosmic looking like a nebula forming in the top right corner and the water does look very turbulent indeed. The city skyline on the horizon looks very small in comparison.

Wow…this is such a dramatic image…with the wave crashing …and the backdrop of that stormy sky….love this sooo much!!!

Magic work Mel, you can just feel the movement in it.

Ha, like the wet feet,
I can literally hear the crash of the wave on the rocks and feel a little spray on my face, love the yellow in the sky and the depth all the way back to the city …. raw nature …. absolutely beautiful Mel, dynamic …... :))

this is so incredible…so savagely beautiful…that I just had to go out and write piece with the word “storm” in the title. Ai-chee-wuah-wuah…the things you inspire!!

Wow, simply amazing!

OK-sod ya then!!

They are a GREAT idea-the conversations to be had, trying to work out what dead animal your smelly feet resemble…..

lucky you got to hang on to the camera and yourself in this one Mel, looks terrifying
xkc

And, if you don’t wear socks, the toe jam is really of exceptional quality…...........

Ta!

Woah!!! This is just bloody awesome… LOVE IT MEL!!!

This is just amazing!!!! Kudos to you for being awesome!!!

Stunning image, especially love the city skyline in the background. Well done.

Only ‘wet feet’. Well worth the effort. Love the wave action. John

Ah, Mel, I always look forward too your sea images. They are always so stunning!

I LOVE THIS : )

Totally incredible Mel!!

incredibly moody shot Mel, nice capture

To my favourites-love the power of the ocean in this image. I’ve felt the brunt of its power at times while surfing. Be careful rock snapping-we don’t want a ‘Photographer Swept Off Rocks’ headline now ; )

Perfect….......

You got the shot… wonderful! I love the drama of this one Mel… Sensational as always.

Powerful!

WOW! I think we’re lucky you didn’t get washed away! Incredible shot!

Magnificent Mel. You can feel the tension of the tempest. Well worth the wet feet.

WOW! AWESOME shot there, I think the 1/2 second exposure was just perfect. Good work!

This is amazing

Magnificent!

Outstanding work…............

Spectacular xx

Beaut shot nice feeling of action and movement

Appreciate the depth of colour in the rocks – the composition wow !

wow i missed this one, bloody awesome

Oh mate, this is just stunning, motion, colors, exposure…everything!

This is brillaint Mel.
Tell me, did you put the face in the top right or is it a coincidence?

I remember when I was young seeing mercator projection maps of the world with puffy cheek men in the cloud diagrams in the top corners blowing the worlds winds. Maybe thats who it is?

Fantastic action shot Mel, I’ve had a close call or two at this location & I can tell this is a gutsy effort ! The touch of the city in the background really makes it.

Wow this is incredible!
