Flakstad, Flakstadøya, Lofoten.
The Norwegian sea and its waves seen from a beach near Flakstad (Skagsanden) in mars. The colours of the sea fit well with the snowy background. Flakstad in the background.

Hello Samuel,
This is beautiful. The wave was captured in good contrasting details. The V-Shaped snow-capped mountains adds perspective to this composition. Brilliant clarity and contrasting image.
Regards,
Jusni

Hi Samuel!
Very fine capture of the waves and their colors!
The wave also "makes" the composition to me, together with the mountains shaping a V in the background.
Well done in this kind of weather, I know this light can be difficult do get good pictures from.

Wonderful picture, nice perspective, well done

Hello

I feel sometimes that I under-use a feature of TE, and that is 'favourites' I will put this with mine. I have never been north of Scotland, but when I think of these areas of the world, your picture is a wonderful representation of my 'minds eye' I love it.
I may be wrong here, it feels slightly right-tilted, but this may be just a trick of the eye.

Bonjour Samuel, quelle belle photo! La lumière est parfaite et elle fait bien ressortir la force des éléments.

Bravo

Hello Samuel,
This is a very good nature photo. The sea and the mountains are in good harmony with each other. Very nice composition,
Best regards,

Hello Samuel,
I like the shape of the hills with their graphic contrasting grey and white colours, but what really makes it for me is the colours and texture of the sea. The white of the foam seems to mirror the snow on the hills and the larger wave creates a very pleasing curve that leads the eye into the background.
I agree with Martin that there seems to be a slight tilt but I think that's mainly due to the shape of the strip of beach in the midground and therefore difficult to avoid. You could try rotating left a little to see if that helps.
Anyway it's a very striking and effective shot that conveys very well the sensation of a nordic winter.
Well done!
John

Very well done. The little bit of brown land contrasts well against the waves and mountains.
Out of smileys. Later.

Bonjour Samuel,

Cliché réaliste exprimant la rudesse de l'hiver en ces contrées très septentrionales. L'agitation des flots est très bien rendue. La vallée en U qui finit en ce lieu rend très bien compte de l'empreinte glaciaire existant encore il y a environ 10-12000 ans.

Très belle photo. Les couleurs sont très réalistes. Excellente composition.
Amitiés, John

Cool, I love how the foreground waves perfectly mimic the snowcovered mountains in the background. Yet another shot proofing how good bad weather suits Norway :-)

An absolutly breathtaking picture. There is a sort of strength to this picture, it really is quite remarkable...

Really a frozen, artic landscape.
I like the sea and the mountains have more or less the sme colors and pattern of white and grey.
The wave gives some dynamicity to the scene. Really a beautiful picture
Stefano

Hi Samuel, great shot which captures the mood perfectly. Great timing on the wave which builds the composition. Well done.

I like the colors, composition, and most of all the subject matter. Very beautiful. Only sugeestion would be to adjust the tilt slightly CCW.

Samuel, great photo. I am particularly impressed by the colours; it is so good that you have not increased the saturation- it makes this photo much more believable. I know this area well as I come from northern Norway.
