  • OldBirch replied

    Thanks so much, Ralph! That means alot.
    I realize now that it’s not composed well, but I was so excited at the scene and trying to keep an eye on rogue waves for safety, that I shot a little too quickly.

  • Pat Yager

    Pat Yager

    What an action shot! It almost feels like we’re there with you! Did you manage to stay dry, with all that foam and spray?

  • OldBirch replied

    Hi Pat. I didn’t get too wet, except for my feet. It was freezing cold, but it was so exciting to be there I didn’t really care!

    Had the feeling that I’d commented already, but must have just admired in my mind. Such a great capture of the raw power of the waves, C, err, Hazel. Stunning light on the foam and spray, too. Particularly appealing to me as an unedited photo.
