I had to take a closer look, too!! I was thinking that wave was coming from the wrong direction, and no one seemed concerned!! haha Very cool shot, and I'm glad you stood your ground, as you said in your comment below! Awesome!! :D

lol!! Thank you!! It was quite a sight. I love your reaction to it. That's so great! It sort of sums us fools up when there are storms here in Michigan... Something big is headed this way, Concern? What's that?? Grab the camera and head to the beach!! lol!

Congrats on the win! If I could make a small suggestion. I would crop it a tiny bit to remove those poles on the right edge of the photo, as they're kind of distracting and I don't feel they add to the photo. Other than that, what a great capture!
Jeta1websandpix
Jeta1websandpix November 25, 2015
Thank you so much! And absolutely! I welcome any and all feedback and I appreciate you taking the time to make the suggestions. I will definitely work on this and repost it at a later date. Thanks again ! :)
