The Power of the Sea

Gorgeous shot Rod. The blowing grasses, crashing waves and the seagull are just the perfect mix for an shoreline shot. Well done. Cheers, S.

Awesome capture and lighting mate.

Terrific photo Rod and what a great time of day to be out taking photos at Lands End. I still think of the one you took of Chris feeling the cold!! Peter

Very nicely composed scene, with lovely dof and exposure! Love the way my eyes take me along the vertical line that divides the land and sea! The bird is a lovely bonus! :)

STUNNING shot BEAUTIFULLY Done!!!!!! GREAT WORK!!!!!!

OUTSTANDING CAPTURE ! Well done Rod !!! x

Wow, after scrolling through ALL the comments…..I want to say, this is such a magnificant capture, the blue’s, the green’s, the light, the shadow…everything here is in the right measure to create a masterpiece

This is a masterwork of photography Rod, it is one of my favourites!! It is so beautiful!!

Amazing- very beautiful capture x

this is magnificent work, gorgeous light & colours, excellent clarity. Goes straight to my favorites! :o)

Lovely and dramatic. Excellent composition. Lots of action here with waves crashing, grass being blown by the wind, seagull flying. I also like way you have captured the reddish glow on the cliffs.

Great shot, great timing, perspective and composition. The colour is beautiful and the ocean looks so wild and free :)

Fantastic shot, love the bird, good luck is the photographer’s friend!

Rod, you’ve done it again – not to anyone’s surprise! A fabulous shot! And it looks like you weren’t too far from the edge. DO be careful, my friend! The colors work together here so perfectly – an exciting view of a special place.

I love the action in this photo. It is simply beautiful!

dramatic image – all these comments are a testament to your skill – it’s all been said.This was the subject of my first acrylic painting and a place that holds a lot of excitement to visit.

Great moment with the sea gull! I can hear the waves. This is starting to be memory lane – also visited Lands End. ;-)

One beautiful stunning photo! Fab composition too. Well done!

A beautiful capture Rod, beautifully composed with the seagull flying into the scene.It leads us right to the crashing waves on the cliffs. Have a great weekend,many regards,Henri.

stunning capture of the fling bird and the wave’s crashing!!! the light is amazing!!! excellent!!!

Wonderful Rod…love the movement and the way the setting sun lights up the cliffs…great capture…jacquei:)

Breathtaking view ! I enjoy beholding this fabulous seascape.
The cliffs illuminated by the sun are magnificent.
The waves with the white foam catch our eye immediately. The seagull flying over the sea adds a touch of beauty to this wild and picturesque shore .
My favotite picture, congratulations Rod !

Beautiful capture & colors

it sure is a very powerful shot Rod. The light fall is great.

Outstanding Rod its perfect!
Best wishes
Tina

this is lovely)))

Grant me the liberty of cranking it up again Rod, ‘cause it’s just so jolly good!
Seldom do images speak the way yours continually do my friend. This is so darned atmospheric, that I can taste the salt air, and having Johathan in frame, is utterly perfect! Love the little coastal blooms too, adding yet more colour to an already plush green cliff-face! It’s a wonderful capture my friend, and one to be extremely proud of.

this is pure professional work of art, a true masterpiece!! Bravo, my friend!!

Really Rod!! From your end? On my screen, it’s showing up perfectly as the extra large size in my comment. How odd it’s not on yours!! :-/

Your classic shot from webshots, nice to see it here !

Great shot!

Absolutely gorgeous. Love the seagull!

Rod, i do not favour a lot of photos but this is going to be an easy decision…............excellent landscape photography

Fantastic shot, love the seagull, lovely shot all round x

Rod this is gorgoeus imagery; so full of life and atmosphere….superb work!!! XX JD

beautiful capture!

Wow…this is an awesome shot Rod..the surge of the tide is amazing..what a brilliant capture..Bravo.xx

I too adore Cornwall Rod,and long to go back again with a bit of luck.The weather left a lot to be desired a couple of years ago,but I loved it immensely.Have a wonderful trip Hun.xxxxxx

I cannot tell you how many times I have been here to view this beautiful image. It is wonderful Rod!!

Mahalo my sweet friend. I do love it.
It is a challenge to stay in touch with my closest friends as I am so busy with so many issues and projects here on Maui and with my husband. Sometimes it is overwhelming and I can easily become frustrated as time does not permit me to do everything I wish to do. I do try to stay in touch, however. If you don’t hear from me often, I hope you understand that I am probably simply off the grid.

I am also trying to find someone to help me with several of the groups I host, yet with the new group news and no more group bmails, the call I sent out for assistance has received no response as of yet.

And I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you this morning. I wish you a wonderful day Rod.

Did I missed this wonderful work of yours? yes. Fantastic view and shot Rod

Wonderful colors and lighting! Very beautiful photo Rod!

this is very pretty

Dear Rod.. is this the one that was on the front page of the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ?
Attractive colours and details, good angle of light!
wITH RESPECTFULL GREETINGS..

Fabulous action shot Rod and perfect timing catching the gull!! Instant fave

What a beautiful place and spectacular image!

WOW!! the movement of the water, the beautiful bird in flight – this is an amazing shot! What a spectacular view!

Hello Rod. I’m new to the site after being invited to join. I just came across your work and had to say I love it! This one drew as I’m partial to seascapes and oceans. This is absolutely beautiful. I love how you captured the wind swept grass, crashing waves and the seagull soaring across. So peaceful.

Tema

You’re very welcome Rod. I enjoyed your photography immensely. I’ll be looking forward to your holiday photos. :-)

Have a wonderful evening. (But then, you being in Australia and I in Canada, we’re even a day apart, are we not? Not sure.) lol

Tema

A superb image Rod and great timing with the seagull. Great capture.

The light on the rocks, the crashing sea and the seagull makes a perfect coastal image. Breathtaking. I can smell the salt water.

Magnificent…glorious design/composition. This one was so well-captured!

WOW Sounds like a lovely place to visit. You’re welcome, Rod.
