Ralph Olsson
Not sure why this didn’t come up on my list of new work!!! Anyway, love it stacks mate:)))))
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.
Ralph Olsson
Forget the rules!!! You were there…and might i say, closer than i would have ventured:))))lol!!! I love it:)

Jenni77
Beautiful shot, love the waves
Daphne Johnson
I hope you didn’t get wet trying to get close to these powerful waves! Or too cold. Lovely capture.
OldBirch replied
Very very cold! But worth it. It was quite exciting.
Teresa Zieba
Wow, what an incredible capture. Perfection!!!
Sharon Mau
I love the frothy seafoam and amazing power of the ocean. This is a beautiful shot!
OldBirch replied
And power is the right word! Hopefully someday we’ll be able to harnass that power without destroying the beauty of it.
Thanks, Sharon, for your comment.
Carmen Hellofs
Awesome shot!

Hard to believe this is as is, fabulous a fave! Congrats on your features!
OldBirch replied
Thanks, Cheryl. I deliberately didn’t touch the photo so I could say it was AS IS. I was afraid that it looked so artificial.
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!

Ciao. Barbara
Jan Timmons
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.
Ann Palframan
Outstanding image! The S5 is an amazing little Canon. Kudos to the photographer too:)
OldBirch replied
Cool, you use one too. I love it, though I’m not artistically worthy of it yet!
And I may be knocking at your door asking about Ephemeral…
Thanks, Ann!

ceejaycee
I wouldn’t have believed you could make such a limited range of colours look so good – a real standout shot.
OldBirch replied
Gosh, you’re right, CJC. Never thought of it like that. Thanks so much!
Sharon Mau
Your features are coming in waves, here is another one for you! :)
The water looks delicious!
Congratulations on your feature in Dimensions
Antanas
amazing view
Marilyn Baldey
Such a powerful image, not one you see every day with the snow on the rocks and all, it must have been cold there. The quality of the water is different.
OldBirch replied
Thanks, Marilyn! And yes, you’re right, it was very cold!
LTPhotography
Lovely image, great capture!
Suzanne Chouinard
How beautiful and powerful! Untamed of course!
Kristina K
fantastic capture, well done :)) k
Jan Piller
This is frightening – we hear of people dying in locations like this.
OldBirch replied
...so that’s why our population is so low…
John Hooton
This is spot on and goes to prove that sea artists do not thrive on just pure imagination.
OldBirch replied
Finally, I have a purpose in life!!
Thanks, John!
Kasia-D
Awesome and dynamic. I hope you and your cam didn’t get wet.
OldBirch replied
Only me. My camera is too valuable! Me on the other hand…
Thank you, Kasia!

Thank you, Mariarena! Considering your portfolio, I take that as quite the complement!
lizalady
What a fabulous shot. You can feel the coldness of the air. It’s giving me goosebumps just thinking about it. Great capture.

whalegeek
“Hazel” [:-))], I’m loving the work you do. SOOOOO happy you did not get swept away by these waves. Now you have me moving Newfoundland up on my Bucket List. What an tempestuous sea. A lovely capture of an angry ocean.
