The Heat

Another impressive one Mel !

Mel you sure do have that magic touch! :)

Great image, Mel.

I’m not sure about heat but it sure has power and strength in it. Another wonderful image, you are the master we aspire to with these!

truly amazing, such a fantastic shot, love it! Im just watching a big storm build outside now.

I’m dreaming of taking a photo like that one day Mel :-)

Wow, this is fckin’ VOLCANIC!
What flash setup did you use on this Mel?

Supurb…..lessons please…..

Wow, Mel…......the 5D has been a good tool for these shots, coupled with your eye,and skill, its a devastating team!! is this straight out of the box, no HDR etc? Just curious, not being nosey!
Stunning!!

Amazing image Mel So alive

wow – and wow again….!!!!! has to be your finest work for me Mel – this reminds me of those religious pictures my mum insisted hanging in my bedroom… where the colour palette had me transfixed… as does this image here…. quite an extraordinary image Mel and wonderful memory trigger for me… REALLY LOVE THIS!

Awesome,Mel,is that water on the rocks or lightning?cos it’s made the water boil,fantastic as usual!!

Wow this is wonderful Mel a fantastic shot . and a fav

Yes. I too can see lightning on the rocks. Magnificent

pls forgive my impertinence, but which “Lee ND Grads” ? I suffer from a “washed-out” sky problem – might you (please) be more specific ?? :)

so powerful, so moody – absolutely brilliant piece.

wonderfull Mel, Elegant and mysterious composition. love the effect of the long exposure on the water and the dark contrasty tones of the image.

Love this Mel. Has such wonderful mood to it.

Just stunning, Mel – well done :-))

Spectacular, probably my favourite image of yours yet.

Powerful and beautifully compose (as always), love it …

another stunning and really inspiring seascape. Makes me want to pick up my camera and head for the coast, but I live hundreds of kms inland and need to run my business rather than have fun by the sea …

This is great – very dramatic with the sharpness making the whole scene give off a stark and thunderous atmosphere

I like your work with ND, this looks like a work of art from one of the masters.

wow..powerful Mel…great image

Spectacular! the tempestuous sea perfectly rendered

fantastic work Mel, excellent image!

gracias

so its the 0.9 + the 0.6 ND Grad then? but never the 0.3 :) ?

there is a lot of depth and detail in that Mel
great feel to it
nice work

Outstanding Image instant fav !!

Nice very nice composition the blue is amazing

Gorgoeus Mel.the water coming off the rocks adds to the drama of the storm,excellent shutter
speed

WOW! Stunning shot. The water off the rocks reminds me off lightning bolts.

Beautiful sky and light Mel

My first response to this image was that it was so elemental and bibilical! Glad to hear that others had the same kind of feeling on viewing! Wow, what a canvas you compose!

what an absolute cracker Mel!

What a beauty – those little rivulets running into that maelstrom of water makes for a magic composition against that sky.

Such a great sense of drama in this shot Mel

Definitely gives a feeling of expectancy Mel .. classic ….......... :))

great capture!!!!

wow gorgeous shot Mel

WOW, the water, the rocks, the sky. Mother nature and you, Perfection at it’s best.

Wow Mel that is freakishly cool ! very powerful and beautiful !

Very nice work with filters! I really like the contrasting waves/clouds/blue sky. Very nice!

Amazing capture, Mel!

Beautiful shot, nicely composed!!! – Ann

Such a capture to be proud of Mel.. Keep up the road trips..
Chuck..

great shot

wow – great shot Mel :)

I’m not sure if I’ve said this before Mel, but I’m running out of adjectives to describe what your work does for me. This is simply transcendent literally and completely. If heaven exists or if worlds were to be left untouched and unmarred by man’s idiocy and greed, I think that place would look like this photograph. I’m desperate to close my eyes. Only to open them and be inside this photograph.

Stunning image, Mel…. truly breathtaking! Hope you didn’t get wet! :)

This is just frickin’ awesome. Such power and clarity. the convergence of lines between the sky and the sea. Awesome

Just gorgeous Mel…so dramatic

Powerful image. Nice MDR work…

The blurred water and the lighting of the sky makes this magic for me. John

lovely!

Beautiful seascape. Your work is always so good!

awesome ! I like how dramatic this looks… very dynamic

Where can i see a cool seascape. hmm, why not check Mel’s Stream ;) Lovely work my friend.

Amazing!

if you read my profile I can not spell very well. but with a picture like this how the fcuk needs to spell. its out standing. there are no words. fffffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbb.

Another ripper Mel!

WOW! stunning!

Magical mel:))

Absolutely stunning Mel!!!!

That’s a very big WOW from me Mel, It’s all about the light for me, I could look at this for hours.

Beautiful, Mel. Has the feel of British 19th century seascapes.

stunning textures love the light control
