This is truly living on the edge. I looked up the location and found that "camping directly on the Bunda Cliffs is generally not permitted due to extreme danger from unstable, collapsing edges." Then I thought, what could really go wrong? Everything!

The photo itself captures the magnitude of the drop-off, and using the camper as a reference, it's scary. The photo itself has everything one would want: leading lines, the rule of thirds, uniqueness, minimlism, and a sense that harm is about to happen or not!

The leading lines and smooth look of the water create an eerie setting. The viewer's eye is drawn the rocky pathway that leads to an interesting, yet mysterious triangular formation in the background. The selected aperture provides beautiful clarity throughout the shot and makes for a scenic landscape capture.

Brief

See more contest details

This contest is for your photos showing dangerous coastal waters around rock formations such as cliffs and other rocky coastal areas. Capture the power of the sea and the violent clashes between the ocean and the cliffs.The power of nature and the natural landscape should be the focus, so try to limit inclusion of manmade structures like lighthouses. Colour or black and white photos are welcome.

Everything about this isolated spot is dangerous. From sneaker waves to falling off the trail in icy conditions. The slow shutter speed created a silky look that makes this beautiful yet super dangerous spot look welcoming. This photo is a work of art.

This just feels like something that could turn deadly very quickly. At first It wasn't obvious, but after some research this place only gives an illusion of safety. Specifically, around high-tide at the mouth of the river.
