One of your best Mel…. truly love this one and the title. Would have loved to been there to capture it :)

This is a really great photo!

Stunning shot mel-very dramatic and worth hanging around for.

wow, well worth the sit in the car : )

Lovely photo Mel, the emotion is tangible :-) Doesn’t matter that your camera and lens have a “thing” – they are still producing shots like this, they could go on not talking forever at this rate for all we care!!! LOL

I bet Ken is kicking himself he didn’t get out of bed… this is a fabulous shot, Mel! Tonally very interesting with the relationship of sky and water most engaging. Top shot!

Love your perseverance Mel….it always pays off…..
Beautiful Image…..

Terrific duo tone!!

Sure was worth it, great shot!

Great image Mel, its alive, movement all over the place, dramatic and subtle ….... :))

Pure energy and motion. Your images are just alive with feeling. Beautiful

Great mood. Looks very dangerous

so very good Mel,love it in b/w

Atmospheric and perfect in mono :))

Your photography amazes me, astounds me, delights me and makes me want to commune with nature.
This seascape is surrational, stunning and celebrates nature’s magnificent energy.

Love the tones!

Excellent as always

Beautiful

Stunning Mel! :)

A very powerful and dramatic image Mel :o)

oh mel…your stuff always looks like a painting in a museum…

it transports me
it turn my inside into jelly
it makes me weep

it renders me speechless.

All of the above… You do have the touch. Whatever the shutter speed, it was the right one…

absolutely brilliant.thanks for the shooting info.

Wow this is stunning Mel and an instant favourite! I love the atmosphere in this, amazing drama captured in both the water and clouds. Brilliant contrasts and I love the tones with just that hint of colour that you see on a day like this.
Well worth waiting and waiting and waiting for!

Wow…this is one of the most beautiful shots I’ve ever seen!

what a terrific take mel
you are such a pro!!

Believing as you obviously DO in the power of the image, in the literacy of the image to communicate something necessary and useful, it is good to see your own resourcefulness at finding the clear message within a moment by BEING THERE to capture the poetry of rock unmoved by swell and storm. Great work. —Tim

Great photo as always :-) I love the power of the coast…

wonderful B&W! love it
xx

Gorgeous image Mel… Was well worth the rain and the wait by the looks of things…

Sensational Mel. I can almost smell the salt. :))

So camera and lens had a lovers’ spat? I’m doing half price on the Belgian choccies today… maybe you could intervene?

Massive shot. If we had scenes like this in Belgium… I STILL wouldn’t get up at those hours. You are amazing.

Wow – love the way the desaturation enhances the shapes and textures…perfect… x

F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!!!!

Wow Mel, this is fantastic shot! So moody! Shame that can’t see all details here on RB, even in a larger view

Did the lens say something rude to your camera ?

Great shot …

beautiful post-work on a lovely shot. Well done.

...just INCREDIBLE Mel! Almost from where time beagn… brilliant!

Love it Mel

Stunning work mel! That swell and dramatic clouds and processing has really given it a certain edge, wonderful.

Excellent, this image is truly exquisite!!! Wonderful composition and this was worth the waiting!! Wonderful dangerous looking cloudscape!! Great work!!

Wow to the comments!
Wow to the photo too!

Brilliant

Wow! This image has a biblical feel to it or is that just Poseidon showing an display of anger!

This is stunning & so much impact with the colours courtesy of the slow speed & the Black of the sky. B/W is awesome for this one

Very beautiful Mel – the choice of monochrome for this is particularly inspired.

Perserverance at its finest Mel. This looks epic in black and white with the swirling waters around the rocks and the menacing sky looking as though it’s about the create a black hole in the centre of the sky. If Ken doesn’t regret sleeping in after seeing this then I don’t know what else to say!

Stunning, dramatic capture Mel!

BRAVO BRAVO

I JUST LOVE IT !

Just beautiful!

Love this Mel..so much drama in mono…Superb image..

Hell rises out of the cauldron,
It’s moments numbered,
Still it seethes as though,
It could control the sea,
Swirled by the devil,
laughing in his hideous reign,
he raises his fist,
Proclaiming this his domain,
God laughs,
Stirs the waters,
Turns and walks away.

Utterly stupendous!
