North Head
The light was changing every minute. I climbed over some huge rocks to get into a great position to take some surfing shots, when suddenly this huge cloud covered up the sun. Suddenly the beautiful light illuminating the waves the surfers were riding was gone. I looked to my left and noticed the light here. Quickly, I grabbed my stuff and setup this shot…..only got one frame, because soon after this the light here was also gone.

This is awesome! I love the warm colours bringing out the distant landform & on the rocks in the foreground as well as the blue of the sky & the fluffy clouds adding perspective & the light reflecting off the wave. Excellent!

Wonderful composition, dof and focus are perfect; you’ve captured the tide pulling back out, the waves breaking and the clouds floating in. This is awesome.

I have to say that this is one of the finest seascapes I have seen in a long. long time, bar none! This is an exquisite composition and exposure; with beautiful sidelighting, and perfect depth-of-field. The beauty of the sky is balanced, perfectly, with the sweeping wave and foamy surf and the rocks in the FG. Excellent work! Cheers! Chris
Sean Farragher

Comments like these make getting up early worthwhile :-) I guess once I am out its always a great experience….Thank you all for adding to that experience…
David Barnes
Awesome wide-angle shot. It’s often so difficult to get some decent foreground but this is just great. Super!
Alessandro Pinto
what a beautiful image.. the sky is amazing
hinting
Nice, very nice. I’d like to see this cropped 1/6 of the foreground… What do ou think?
davidmilne
fANTASTIC! Very refreshing image,wonderful scene.
ozczecho
Wow…just came back from a short weeks break and see these great comments…thank you everyone.
Hinting…I think its a 50-50 decision. I had a look at how the image looks minus 1/6th and there is very little in it…..I like how the bottom rock leads the eye into the picture. You still have part of the rock if the suggested crop is applied but it isn’t as effective IMHO….
