Vikram Franklin
Love the tones here and how you can see the raging power.
I put one up with the same name just the other day. But in that one it was just as I felt the power of the sea crash all over me – LOL!!
Wendi Donaldson
Very powerful…..like how the surf seems to blend into the sky too.

Love the power of the sea that this communicates Mel. Really nice tones too. I am glad to see you were not stood under this one…....:-)
Mel Brackstone replied

Craig Harris
the power alricht, nice one Mell, they’re usually the ones that get you!
Mel Brackstone replied
Luckily that huge rock acts as a breakwater, and the wash rarely reached to where I was….certainly it was mostly sea mist that was the concern…Thanks Craig.
Matt Penfold
oo yeah, that’s the power alright, fabulous capture of raw oceanic energy Mel. Did you use more than one ND grad?
Mel Brackstone replied
Pretty sure I’d have only had one on at this stage…still pre-dawn..but hey, my memory is shot….lol! Thanks Matt

Great timing and I love the halo of light spray showing against the dark clouds….. only thing lacking is the smell and sound….Canon are you listening…...LOL
Tom Gomez
Nice catch Mel, really shows the power of the waves …
Stuart Chapman
Very dramatic and powerful (as i’ve added another 1 hit to the landscape fraternity :)) The muted tones really add impact and we only get waves that size when you shouldn’t be outdoors for fear of a roof falling on your head.
