"Sea Foam Moment" is a high speed capture of an ocean wave surging over a sand berm. So many elements come into play for the foam to hit just right. It normally needs to be an extreme high tide, the right size wave, the right incline of the sand berm and certain other factors. To say the least, this is an extremely difficult shot to capture. It takes hundreds, if not thousands of photos in the right conditions to achieve this magic moment. Thanks for viewing. For more follow on FB and IG. Mahalo

I personally think this or the dual damselfy macro shot from albertopiza (I think) were my two fave shots of the year...just stunning. Following now for inspiration, the fact it's not been photoshopped to death just makes it even better. Just superb. 😃

Voted Superb composition, when I saw the thumb nail of this shot I first thought that the blob top/middle looked like the moon had been super-imposed onto the photo, but as it is, I was wrong, it's a better shot will follow. Cheers for sharing.
