Hi Tony . May i say this is one of your best pictures on TN . Your low POV sets thee mood for the roaring sea. I like the wat the birds are looking for food after the water has gone back. Fantastic movement in the waves. and a bue sky with well deatil clouds. so very well done TFS. this is a favourite for me.

Hi Tony
Great image capturing the fury of nature. I like the way the patterns in the rock are almost mirrored in the clouds and the colours are great.

Hi Tony,

This looks so different from your summer seascapes. The waves look wicked and you have captured them perfectly. Beautiful sky with those wonderful clouds. The gulls seem to be riding the waves.

Hello Tony,

A very nice coastal scene. I like the seaguls at the rocks and the very rough sea. Maybe a signal of the end of your summer (-: Nice colours and a beautiful sky. A very good result with such a very low shutterspeed. Well done. Regards and TFS BOB

Tony,
the scenery is so stunning, nice color combination in good harmony, the scaterred seagulls might seizing for a small fish entrained by the waves, and it make the picture even more dramatic, TFS

Hi good friend Tony,
Outstanding shot and what a visual delight this image is. It looks like a painting. Very neat and sharp image with nice colours and details. The sky looks so charming and compliments the rock surface so well. The water flash adds so much energy and movement to the image. Excellent POV and very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hallo Tony
A lovely combination of various aspects of nature in one image. Indeed a most appriopiate title "Nature at its best". The white fleece clouds in the clear blue sky, the foam of the water in the foreground and the waves in the background. Adding the birds in the scene makes the perfect recipe for a great image.Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day.
Kind regards.

Hi Tony,
A wonderful frozen action where the impact of the wave shows the force of nature perfectly.
I really like the position of the gulls. It looks like five of them are in a protective position to guard the one in the center.

wow! Everybody is going for the golden moments today!!! And this is no exception. It looks almost as though you had some polarizing filter on...but no mention...What this means is that your camera can mimic the polarizing effect in some magical way...but with or without it is just super!

Hello Tony,
Some parts of the world are richly endowed with natural beauty and your part seems like heaven to me at this time of the year when we are getting roasted in the summer heat in India.
Beautifully framed image of the coastal area with waves hitting the rocky coast forcefully. The white of the crashing waves makes a striking contrast with the deep blue sky.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful image and best regards.

Dear Tony,
Yes this has to be nature at its best. And you are lucky to be there to enjoy these bounties of nature. YOu are also a wonderful human being who captures these gifts in your frame and shares with your friends from around ther world.
Splendid capure of the crashing waves against the rocks, the spraying surf is just superb and the light bales floating in the sky is supremely uplifting.The presence of the gulls have an added effecet on the scene and makes it more lively.
Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic scene.
TFS & Cheers

Hello Tony,

Sometimes the natural conditions really inspire you! I have a feeling that this was one such day!

I love how the waves are rising and exploding over the rocky shore and creating a separation line between the sky and the land.
Great colours!

kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Tony,
It has been a while since I last dropped by.This is a super one.....the exposure is just perfect throughout.I like the low viewpoint as it has emphasised depth and given a sense of movement to the water.Great stuff.....TFS.
