You chose an excellent place to capture the storms of the last couple of days. You have captured the turbulence very well and clicked at just the right time. The sun out at the time belies just how bad the recent weather has been.

Hi Adrian,

Nice shot, you have managed to capture the energy of the sea as it hits the sea wall. I couldn't get to the coast when the waves hammering the shore so thank you for capturing it so I can see it here.

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Adrian,
Nice action shot with good colours and POV, by that was a good day to get this shot i was down our sea front as you know they nothing ells at Redcar to put in the back ground of our shots, even the boats where blowing onto the road, mind you should have seen the mess of the promenade after, Ive had a look at your WS and to tell you the truth i quit like boat shot nice work Ade.
Regards Irene

Adrian,
This is an impressive shot! The lighting and colors are great as is the sharpness and DOF. Great timing to catch that wave as it hit the seawall.
TFS,
Asa

Belle photo, ces vagues sont fort grosses et dirait on vont emporter la bâtisse avec elle. Belle réalisation,bel éclairage et beau détails bien nets. Amitiés Thomas

Hi Adrian, I have just seen (Renerob)Irene's photo of a wave in Redcar & this one looks just as powerful, also the sky looks bright but on your side of the country the waves come big, great timing & superb POV, the focus is very good just look at that foam & spray, excellent photo, kind regards Wilson.

gunbud (34066) 2007-03-22 22:09

Hi Adrian,
Wonderful view of nature's fury as she pounds these colorful harborside buildings. Great detail to the foamy surf and fine sharp colors to the poor buildings. Warm blue sky seems a bit out of place in the midst of such force.
Regards, Tom

Awesome Nels, another great shot of the sea's power and something to scale it against. What sort of maintenance does it take on the buildings after a soaking like this?

Greg

robiuk (10807) 2007-03-23 17:41

Verry attractive catch, Adrian!
The action and subject are here, just in
front of you (not a mile away) like in
some of your previous posts - you see,
immediately there's more response, more
visits and everyone's aplauding you on an
excellent image!
But I'm glad you didn't go even closer, as
these waves are powerful - have just witnessed
them in Scarborough!
Congratulations,
Robi

Hi Adrian,

you've been active lately and I really like this shot. Very dynamic with the wave crashing onto the shore. Great play between light and shadow. Wonderful colours and excellent sharpness. I wouldn't like to live so close myself! A superb capture mate, well done.

Regards

Steve

Hi Adrian. Wow great photo, you have certainly caught the power the ocean I this shot. Nice composition and great POV. Excellent colour and detail also. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hi Adrian,

wow, that's what I call a wave! I love both light & colors. TFS...

Cheers,

Loïc

Hey Adrian,
Great shot! I don't fancy walking across the road there as that wave hits, it'll be like when you're standing on the side of the road and a truck drives through a puddle! You're lucky you didn't go round there to try and get a view from the middle of the action! nice one, Luke

ollie59 (796) 2007-03-29 4:45

great shot ade,i took the same shot a day before ,funnily enough there were folk with cameras everywhere.
youve caught this really well showing the full power of the sea.

....and some people wonder why it's difficult / impossible to get insurance cover in situations like these!! Surely the government needs to step in and improve sea defences. It looks like this is a lost cause though. Great shot. Excellent technically. Probably got a commercial value for the right company / magazine. Great shot. Paul.

Hi Adrian,

wow ... what a wave! Looks fascinating, even more with the blue sky and the red building ... those who have to life in this house probably can´t enjoy such a scenery. I´m not quite sure about the cropped roof and gable ... but all in all, well done.

Bruno40 (6658) 2007-04-12 8:15

This is a nice shot. Well captured.
Congrats.

hello ADRIAN.
fantastic image!
bon moment decisif!
impressionant!

tyro (30513) 2012-07-02 4:29

Hello Adrian,

Wow! I love this one - it really shows the sheer power of the waves battering against the seafront and threatening this building.

The lighting is superb, the boiling foam and the crest of that huge wave perfectly lit in bright sunshine while the poor building is in quite dark shade. Good composition, lovely colours, perfect exposure and stunning sharpness.

Excellent!

Kind Regards,

John.
