Wow! I can't imagine how intense it must be to be so close to it yet I also feel a sense of serenity about this picture. I like how the foreground is blurred. It gives me a sense of perspective and closeness to the subject. Leading me into the explosion of mother nature on rocks. I can almost create a story out of this picture. Maybe a huge water creature caused the water explosion and the birds are excited by the predator of the depths? haha anyways getting too deep. I like it alot. Well done!

Hello Sedat.
A very impressive capture of the power of the sea. The many birds add a touch of delicacy against the contrasting explosive action of the wave crashing. A very good fast-shutter shot with a long lens. Very well done, and good notes to go with it.
Regards,
Andrew

Impressive picture taken at just the right moment! Maybe a bit too close? I would 've liked to see a bit more of the surroundings here. Well done!
