The green room, a photo from Isle of Wight, England

Photographer's Note

This shot was taken at Shanklin during a good days surfing, it was warm, the sky was clear, and the waves were perfect! I used water housing for this shot (obviously) and it was extremely difficult to capture the wave right at the right moment. The amount of times i got sucked over with the waves and went head first to the bottom was un-countable!
I have just noticed that the quality is pretty poor because i have saved it at such a low resolution for TE, the original is much clearer.

Wow ! Very good job, not easy to have a good framing with the movement of water, that's right. I like the light in the wave.
Very well done. TFS.
Marc.

Hi Jamie,
It's a lovely and not so seen on TE. I like a lot the "frozen" wave. TFS.

hello Jamie,
your tenacity paid off. An un usual image for the uk. I like the way you have captured Shanklin in the frame. Great colour too.

Jamie: for originality and technical aspects, five-stars. Not so many shots like this uploaded on TE, so this one immediately grabs the eye. fine work overall, regards, c

This is great Jamie, thought it was Maiu for a minute not Shanklin! Definitely worth the trouble you took to get it.
cheers, Leon.

Hi Jamie. Very fine surf photo. I'd not realised you had surf on this island. Great colours and perfectly timed! TFS. Murray.

The quality is already quite impressing in TE resolution. The fast shutterspeed made for a wonderful clarity in the water, you made me wonder how this would look in large.
