Wave Rock, a photo from Western Australia, West

Photographer's Note

This rock situated in a remote area 380 km far from Perth. It is 4 km from a small town Hyden. I stayed in Lake Grace which is a very very small town but bigger than Hyden. I arrived at around 7 p.m. and everything is closed except one small bar. I can only find a small inn at the far corners inside a very dark area 5 minutes drive behind the bar. There was no lighted advertisement sign of the inn. When arrived the check-in office, it was closed and need to pick the phone to ask the owner to come on driving.

The rock is not that big and huge, only 100m long
and 15m from ground. It appears good in the photo more than you can see in person. Flies rest on your face and nose when photo taking. You still have to smile and remove those little bit by Photoshop when go back home. It is because they will never stop to fly in front of you.

Hello Th,
This is a great photo. Nice without any date stamp. The little bit of blue sky poking through looks good. Nice colours and nice and clear. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers,
Debbie

Hello
Fantastic rock ! It's the first time I see it.
I like the way you framed it, making a nice diagonal and including the tree on the right side to give us the size of the wave clift.
Interseting note too.
Cheers
JP

Hello,
Beautiful composition. It really looks like a tall wave rising above to engulf anything that comes by its way. The picture color,contrast and brightness are well balanced.

Good work
