Taken at Broad Bench, a small headland on the western side of Kimmeridge Bay in Dorset.
The weather was fantastic today for once, and i was able to get out and play with my new toy, a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens.
Hope to have a lot of fun with this..

shot in Raw, rotated, brightness reduced by 5 %, midtones darkened, sharpened and resized for TN.

Hi Paul,
Fantastic seascape shot and also the water splash is so special moment captured. Very neat, crisp and sharp. I like the colour of the water as well as the sky. Perfect natural lighting and excellent focus. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hello Paul,
Great timing on your part to catch the wave at its peak. Effectiv epost-processing job too. I like the colors and the pov. Regards,
Hakan

Hi Paul,
wow, what a splash - and frozen in the air in the very best of moments. I love the sharpness all over the image, the deeply saturated colours, the powerful contrasts in brightness and hues from the coolest of blues to rusty red hues.
The strong wideangle draws me right in. Feels good to look at after a damp hot day spent on the continent far away from the sea .
Congratulations! With thanks, and best regards,
Peter

Hi Paul,

great composition and that super fast shutter has really frozen the sea action.
Well saturated colours all help make this a cracking shot.

Gary

Hi Paul

This is really impressive! I almost fergot how beautiful these shots of frozen spashes of water really are. I'm used to seeing the effect of waves taken with long exposure times (which are also great) but this is at least equaly beautiful!
I also love the vivid colors of the scenary here with the lovely green of the algae on the rocks and the stunning blue sky.
The textures are also wonderful and add to the overall composition.
Great work!

Bravo and TFS
horia

Dude, what a top pic with that nice shiney new lens - I love the crispness of the wave.

I have to get myself one of those!!!

Paul

Hello Paul,
I like this appropriated title :) You chose a good shutter speed to freeze this movement very well. Exposure and details are very nice and so is color's saturation! Well done with great DOF, POV and composition. Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Paul.
Splendid...fabulous...magic...

magnífico momento.

Hi Paul,
I was waiting for you first few shots with this wonderful lens. I am glad you got it, and I am sure you are going to enjoy it alot. You started of with a wonderful image with such great clarity and colors. The frozen action of the wave makes it a very spectacular photo. I like the sharpness of the photo and the good use of the detailed FG. I do think that a slightly more ofcentered composition would have been good.
TFS,
Niek
