The sea

This one is a stunner. I absolutely love the simple elegant composition and use of light and simple action. The seagull gently balances the stained pair to the right. Everything is in perfect balance. The meditative quality is peaceful and the use of light and shadows is great.

Other worldly, wonderful, magnificent, strong, defiant, are all words that come to mind when I see this beautifully captured image. Not only are you drawn in by the subject matter but also from the upward motion of the waves. Crescendoing perfectly at the light house. Beautiful composition and muted color palette as well.

Wow! What a striking and unique image of a wave in action. It's fluid and yet sharp at the same time. Dragging the shutter has created sweet perfection here. The lighting is superb and ads to the action. The painterly quality achieved here is startlingly beautiful.
