A fine and different shots from the coasts of Holland - It not very often this part of your fine contry show on TE - I like the surfers view and the fisherboat as complement element in the composition - Thanks Rob for sharing.

And yes it seems we finally got the summer weather we missed some months ago :-)

These waves are very nicely shot.
The boat is a nice plus to the composition. Perhaps I would have preferred an horizontal framing however, since I do not thing that the sky brings a lot.

Hi Rob
Very strange scene with the boat and the surfer.
You had a great light and metallic colors.
Well done

Hi Rob,
What a busy surfers' life in Scheveningen - I would never say!
Wonderful sky with fluffy clouds and sea full of frothy waves and surfers - the fishing boat is rarely seen in shots of surfers, though (but a nice surprise for this composition!).
I'm quite fascinated by the texture of the frame, but it just feels too 'metal' for this scene, IMHO.

Hi Rob, Good catch of the waves in this dynamic shot. Nice to have multiple surfers showing in this picture and to have a big boat in the background for extra decoration. A very well taken shot. Well done.

Hi Rob. Actually at first I thought this was our friend's Wes Wang's work. This is a pleasant surprise from you. I normally don't comment on frames but I must say I really like that crazy frame you came up with. The way the surfers turned into silhouettes is excellent. Nice one Rob!!

Bonjour Rob
Une composition intéressante avec une lumière latérale qui donne un bon relief à la scène.
Je suggère un crop sur le ciel pour amener l'horizon sur le 1/3 supérieur.

Hello Rob
An interesting composition with a side light which gives a good relief to the scene. I suggest a crop on the sky to bring the horizon on the 1/3 superior.

Hi Rob,
An unusual post from you, but Excelent Seascape composition with the surfers and the boat. I only have Surfers but no Boat ;-))) I like the low angle approach and perspective. Fine enquadrement, good handling of light and a good capture of the surfers, sea water color and motion and also the moving boat. Good surprise and a picture to enrich your fine Portfolio.

Thanks for my Name and have a nice weekend. Very well seen and composed. A nice picture about Sea!
OBRIGADO

Hoi Rob,
Het mooiste voor mij zijn de golven en het witte schuim waar ik als kind uren kon naar kijken, en daar een grote bewondering voor had. De samenstelling is absoluut goed, misschien alleen is er beetje crass in de hemel, een beetje weinig pixels misschien! Anders vind ik dit wel punten waard.
Groeten,
John.

Halløjsa,
Zoals gezegd beter dan de originelen van een ander lid dezer webpagina. Leuk dat er verschillende soorten vervoer over zee, de surfplank en de boot, te zien zijn. Goed frame ook. :-)

The effect makes the boat being tight to the surfers...
A very well done situation in a great light. And an information, we can surf in Holland :-))
Good photo too of waves.
I like it

Prettige avond,

I was a little surprised by the square frame (see the WS) but I like the opposition between the two worlds : fun vs work. So close, so different, at the same place, in the same environment.
Well composed.

Leuk di sufers hier te zien bij het warme weer dat we nog steeds van kunnen genieten, en die boot mooi geplaatst meegenomen, goede kleutoon en tekstuur in de goven en de lucht Rob.

Hi Rob,
You clearly take the prize on TE for coming up with the most unpredictable, incongruous and always enjoyable shots that most of us miss. Such a contrast here between the world of work with the fishboat and the world of play with the surfers! Its like California versus the Rhine! I love the dynamics here and the unusual colours and tints. The framing and cropping are also superb. Another excellent daily life shot, Rob, combined with Nature. Very satisfying.

Mooie compo Rob.
Het lijkt wel het zendschip radio Noordzee.
goede foto, mooi in beeld gebracht, niet gemakkelijk met dit licht uitstekend gedaan.

Hi Rob, I really like the light in this one. And the zoom has managed to create some real action by bringing the surfers so close to the boat - and of course the waves so close together. I also find the framing quite original.

Nice photo. I like the fact that there are surfers and a big boat. The water is nice and the frame is very good for this photo. I like the sky, even though it is not blue.
Thanks for sharing
Cheers

Hello Rob,
A fine composition, with good emphasis on the breaking waves!
Excellent details in the water, and the ship makes a fine contrast to the activity in the water...
Greetings,
