Do I Start Worrying Now?

The compression from the telephoto has made this look like a tidal wave! Wow!!

Brilliant capture, Paul !!! One helluva shorebreak !!!! Glad you had the 500mm on otherwise you would be one ‘very wet boy’ !!!

Better out than in by the look of that. Another great shot.

pardon me, but… Holy shit.

whoah, wow! That’s awesome!! And totally, frighteningly huge!!

What a great shot!! I’ve would have been waiting patiently on the sand for this one to go.

LMAO!!! What an awesome shot mate…no need for words…well maybe a couple ..Aw F*&% !!!!

Oh my….....did anyone actually make it beyond the wave to actually try and catch it (and get DUMPED) Love the “X” in the wave,,, X marks the spot.

This is an amazing photo Paul.
Really great perspective of the surfers and the huge waves.
Very nice lighting as well.

an astonishing capture! brilliant work and glad you kept a step back from these….

Wow, wow, wow!! This is soooo awesome!! :)

Wow what an amazing sight. Fabulous image and I would imagine seeing the waves was awsome. From well back of course !!!

Brave people with the boards, but I have seen some surfer’s jump into the surf off Snapper, not so big as this, and thought they had to be keen at the time.

Awesome shot Paul!! Sensational perspective! Brilliant work. Straight to my favs!

Wow…love this one!

Fantastic image Paul

Incredible image…..You have captured it very well!

Excellent shot of a heavy shorebreak!

This is awe inspiring Paul…incredible shot! – Love the mist off the waves (or was that the rain coming down?...or both?) – Amazing.

wow wow wow!!!!

Excellent capture and you might want to consider the group All Water in Motion

What a super record of an awesome manifestation by Nature. Scary!!

Fantastic shot!

Freaking amazing. Are those guys nuts or what, I couldn’t even begin to want to go into that maelstrom, yikes!

Whoah! That’s amazing,, huge!

Incredible capture Paul – I’m speechless.

Awesome capture…well done Paul.

SHIT SHIT
lets get the hellll out of here,
this is so damn scary, aren’t they feeling scared infront of this dark monster wave??????
amazing shot

Faaaaantastic!!!!!!!

Woaaaah, wish i was there surfing that !

Very powerful, it looks like niagra or something not the gold coast.

What a fabulous shot. It looks like a vicious shorebreak. Like murder central at Bells in winter…

Wow, that is an awesome sight, Paul. Great use of the 500mm lens. And, um, yes, I’d be worried.

Incredible, love the image.

What a shot, this is amazing, I cant believe guys would want to venture into something like that. :-)
Love the Title.

Are they mad ? !! Fantastic shot tho’ – wow X

Fantastic capture

great capture

Hmmm maybe 40 is too old to learn how to surf!! Fantastic capture Paul!!

Fabulous!

Looks like the waves from an old movie I seen about moses! What a monstrous wall of water, I wouldn’t be standing there! Wonderful shot!!

thats a gold moment when you stand just back from the shore pound trying to convince yourself “I only have to duck one wave, it won’t be that bad”

OMG! Those guys in front weren’t seriously considering that were they? Great shot though… : )

Precarious seems an understatement! Incredible shot contrasting those small surfers against the massive wall of a wave.

OMG, seriously are they mad??? That is just magnificent, what an insane shorebreak – incredible photo though, I can sense the power and I’m scared just looking at it :-)

Wow, impressive.

OMG – now THAT is scary.

Seriously amazing capture Paul, and seriously scary waves!!

Wow, this is just amazing! I’ve had this sitting on my monitor while I’ve done some chores around the house, and each time I return to it, it packs more punch. Really nice job!

thats down right insane, awesome shot

Love this shot Paul – and the title!! Great image!

wowow, that´s the SEA I Like!

This is frightening and hilarious all at the same time.

Great shot with all the surfers looking out to sea at the mama of a wave!

Great shot mate, it looks so powerful.
