The fast shutter speed as really frozen this wave in it's motion. Very well done indeed.
This is the first time I've seen this sort of action shot. It has made my day.

A lovely wave Georges! Taken in just the right split second with a very fine rolling feeling. The colors of the sea are also fine here.

Excellent freezed action. How many shots it took you to get such a good one? I've tried this some times but never got something like this. the wave is sort of angled --one side has already splashed and the other is still falling.

Le terme "rouleaux" est tout à fait bien illustré ici. Le mouvement de la vague est bien capté et figé parfaitement avec en bonus quelques éclaboussures suspendues dans les airs. Bien réussi.

A very good shot, Georges. You captured great colors and motion of the wave, with perfect timing and excellent light. I like the diagonal line of the wave. Very well done, Bravo, Georges.

You catched this wave in the right moment Georges, just as it splashes against the beach. I like the difrent colours in tis picture, as well as the horisontal lines. The horizontal lines is claming the picture a bit, even though it has all this dynamics in it becasue of the splash of the vawe.
Great job

Très agréable ces rouleaux alors que chez nous les températures ces derniers matins est proche des -10 °C cela ne nous incite pas vraiment à aller au bord de l'eau.

This shot has suspense.... and expectation built into it. I think i would have waited for more of it to break as the upward splash is small here. But i like it, good idea and well captured.

Tu as de la chance d'avoir la mer à proximité de chez toi pour pouvoir prendre la patience de capturer une si belle vague. Combien de cliché as tu fait? Le cadrage est superbe... Il manque plus que le surfer! :)
Bravo, Georges!

Il fallait déclencher au bon moment ! Superbe réalisation.
La vague en rouleau est du plus bel effet.
Bravo Georges.

Wow! this is a true work of art. The texture of the wave is so clear and glossy it's simply amazing. Perfect.

Yes, that is exactly the way to capture a wave, Georges. Excellent "frozen motion" effect from the fast shutter speed. I like the colors of the water, and the diagonale formed by the incoming wave. Very nice work.

Very good detail Georges. From what position did you take it - laying on the beach?
Excellent shot I think

Intéressant on dirait de la glace. Que de fois ai-je vu le ressac de la mer sans penser à figer l'image. Belle composition, j'entends presque le bruit de la vague!

Too bad I was about to make a comment of this but get interrupted. You just captured the right moment where the wave was breaking. I like the reflection/shadow showing the shape of the water and the movement - very good capture and work Georges.

Excellent detail, Georges. The clear water is beautiful, as is the blue shade. Very well captured and framed.

Impressive shot!
The force of the wave is obvious and i believe that you captured it perfectly right on time as it was going down

Je crois que tout photographe rêve de réaliser un tel cliché, sans se prendre le chou à aller en Californie ou Hawaï. Ici pas de violence avec des vagues immenses mais, une vague de tous les jours, toute simple, pas snob et qui donne du plaisir au photographe. Cadrage impec, luminosité et piqué sont au rendez-vous !

Salut Georges
L'instant a été bien figé pour obtenir cette composition avant le fracas de la vague.
Je félicite le bon contrôle de l'exposition, les blancs de la mousse ne sont pas surexposés et ils servent de reflecteur sur la courbure de la vague et cela donne un bel effet.
Va bene.
