Atlantic Rollers Photo

Photographer’s Note

Corralejo is a tourist resort situated at the northern end of Fuerteventura. The original part of the town is based around the old harbour, which was used by local fishermen. Here the small sheltered beach, playa la Clavellina, provides safe bathing for locals and holidaymakers alike.

The town is surrounded by sand dunes and miles of sandy beaches that form a nature reserve. This picture was taken from the area of the sand dunes on a beautiful December day.

Hi Stephen,
the waves and their movement are well integrated and the nearly flat view from a deep POV makes it feeling life. I like the sharpness around the stones.
Cheers, Ulf

Hello Stephen. The sea with its play of wind and waves. In addition a line of the famous poet lord Byron occurs to me: "Aren't the mountains, the wave and the sky some of me and I of them?" Like always: a beautiful picture. It pleases me much. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hi Stephen

The motion blur of the fg waves adds dynamism. I like the graphism of the dark rocks against the foaming surf. Tfs!

You've really captured the movement of the waves here Stephen. Good POV as well. TFS. Leon.

Bonjour Stephen,
Trés joli, j'ai l'impression d'entendre le bruit violent des vagues qui claques sur les rochers, un coin sauvage comme j'aime, de plus les couleurs, la lumiére, le POV tout me plaît, bravo
bonne soirée

i spent 16 years beside the sea and love its moods and energy
you have caught this here with a breaking wave..a reminder that the sea is dynamic and really knows no bounds..
the distant breakers and their size show the power waiting to break on the land
fresh and open and good light show up all the tones of the sea..and the left to right movement reads well
cheers

Bonjour Stephen,
C'est bien composé avec ces rochers s'opposant aux déferlantes par contre au point de vue cadrage j'aurai limité la grandeur du ciel à la hauteur des nuages afin de donner davantage d'importance au sujet principal. La lumière est belle et fait resplendir les couleurs.
A bientôt sur TE pour de nouvelles aventures.
