I like it – the waves are ‘unsettling’ rather than ‘full-force’ – giving a hint of the winter to come. Very well done.

Nice one. I need to get there and take some pictures.

Excellent work – it makes me glad my 2 dinghies are snugly tucked in for the winter!

KF

wow great capture i love it very beautiful.
no need of reply button. thanks i love your work. i will be back soon to view more of your work.

hi mate, lovely shot , where is New Brighton?

Fantastic shot. Watch the salt on the lens though :-)

kev

My goodness, I forgot what the picture was by the time I scrolled down here LOL.
This is a brilliant piece of work Dave, very impressive.

This is pretty cool mate. I especially like the roughnes of the sea against the smoothness of the rest of the image. New Brighton – great little town but very expensive now.

Oops, I was thinking of the lighthouse, New Brighton, northern New South Wales, Australia. Remarkably similar!

Looking back on my comment – i thought this one was rough! nicely contrasting shot with yesterday’s midstorm capture- would love to see one alongside the other!
nice work

Love the oil painting effect Dave. :)

An incredible shot Dave, well worthy of all the views etc.,

Great catch. Looks like the lighthouse keeper is going to get his feet wet.

Very beautiful!
