    It is absolutely awesome… a wonderful gift indeed! However spontaneous the shot, the composition, clarity and lighting are just great, and this might be a gift, but it is wrapped in talent!

    G’day Boyd,

    You certainly received a very large dose of Photographer’s Luck in catching this one!!!!!
    The timing and exposure are impeccable, rendering a wonderful translucence in the wave and all the fantastic wave shape and detail you could ask for and more!
    The central composition is the only way to fly for this one as you want the viewer’s attention right on the action.
    Very well spotted, very well timed and extremely well photographed.

    WOW! Tottally cool. I have always wanted to get waves anything close to this and you captured it. A little luck and a lot of skill in great timing. Naturally, I’m jealous as hell. The shape fans out so artistically, like a Chihuly glass sculpture.

    You couldn’t have done a better job had it all been set up!
    STUNNING!
    I see in it the freedom of life …

    And the world said we should take notice
    of the power of life as it is
    be it wind and rain sun and sea
    the energy of the falling leaves
    How exquisite the tiniest bud
    telling us Spring will come
    the first crystal snow flake on Christmas morn
    the fanfare of sunset the glorious dawn
    who are we but time travelers pausing in this world
    look around at the brilliance of wonders unfurled
    and cherish above all else love
    Such is the freedom of life!
