winner

A fantastic, eye-catchig and dramatic shot; tack sharp with great composition. You've shown the dynamic nature of waves very well and successfully captured the vibrant natural colours of the sea which also helps the subject to stand out. Congratulations on a brilliant photo!

The drama you have managed to capture in this photo is magnificent. The image beautifully portrays the power of the ocean which contrasts with the stillness of the land. The subjects of the image are clearly the waves and the muted colours add to the striking nature of the photo.

Meet the expert judge

You have captured so much motion in this photo with a great use of a long exposure. The colours included really help the photo stand out. Your use of framing/cropping shows a good use of space to show the full motion of the wave. You have allowed space in the frame for the wave to move into as well which make the image feel balanced.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Waves of the watery kind in this contest. Whether you're shooting from a nice dry beach, or taking your waterproofed camera into the surf, we're exploring the many ways in which water swells and breaks. That could be far out at sea or more commonly when it reaches land. People and craft are welcome in the pictures, so we may see a surfer or a jetski or two.
