Beautiful scene. Great capture of water movement. Wonderful colors. I like that it's a vertical shot also.

Hello there!
I really admire you that you can put two beautiful sky color in one picture - The cloud is playing a major rule in this picture!

Silky waves, nice and smooth sand are also wonderful as well.

Brilliant photographer, along with a great camera, creates this excellent result! well done thanks for sharing

This is why we should always bring a tripod. W/o the long exposure, this one would have been 'just another postcard'. A pretty and welcomposed pic with good light to be sure. But that would have been it. In contrast, the pic you present here is so much more! The contrast between the pinsharp sand/background and the moving wave is very effective and the 'composition' (I take it that you took a bunch and selected the best) of the wave provides a great perspective to go with the low angle. Good work!

I feel like I am walking on that beach with the sea washing over my feet and the sand between my toes! Lovely TFS.

Wonderful image. I like the diagonal movement of the water, the silhouetted mountains and the sky.. basically everything. I hope your tripod forgives the salt water treatment ;-)

The effect of the movement in the water is superb. Congratulations!

VERY VERY beautiful! Great use of shutter speed, slow enough to see the movement of the water, fast enough to freez the movement of the clouds! Good wide POV with good emphasize on the beach and less on the sky. Well done!

Hi Pat,
For this shot, there are no words to describe it's beauty... the long tide gives a high depth to your composition.
congratulations!

Hi Pat,
Very good exposure, not too long but just right to preserve front edge of moving wave, which in turn becomes line leading the eye to the mountains in the background and blue sky above. Great pov and composition. Waking up early pays back, as the quality of light and colors is great.

Regards,
Goran
