    great timing & the light coming through the wave is fantastic, wish I could have been standing underneath as it crashes onto head. The picture is so full of life.

    In your photo I can feel that rush of adrenaline you get when you glimpse a wave like this right before it crashes over you! Awesome shot!

  • Peter Merten replied

    yeh you can, thats what i love about it to, Thanks. It was a funny wave that one. it flared out because of the backwash that hit it.
