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.

Fantastic lighting, timing, composition & wave. Its a lot harder than it looks to get a shot like this. Excellent!

Thanks mate, your not wrong either, almost pure luck to get it at that exact moment. Cheers

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.
