Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Great image, well edited in b/w. I like very much the composition and compensation of clouds and foam. Well done.

yz from Budapest, Hungary
That's what we call a dramatic sky and dramatic sea. But that's not enaugh for you, so you have that tiny person who puts the cherry on the pie for the composition. Fantastic.

@yz: Thanks yz....the tiny figure is my 10 year old son having a great time playing in the surf.

A lovely crisp image, and how the turbulance of the sea is reflected in the turbulant clouds. Quality.

So where does the sky end and the ocean begin, and vice versa. An almost mirrored image...breathtakingly beautiful!

A grand view, as always. Love to see how the drama in the water continues in the air (or vice versa).

@Florence: Florence...to answer your question this is an island called Île de Ré which is about halfway down the French atlantic coastline. It's a beautiful place.
Tom from Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Awesome shot. It looks like a very scary north sea.

I love how the foam of the water blends with the clouds in the sky!

This is absolutely beautiful the border and the contrast of the black and white makes it all more appealing.
