Hi Samuel!
Very fine capture of the waves and their colors!
The wave also "makes" the composition to me, together with the mountains shaping a V in the background.
Well done in this kind of weather, I know this light can be difficult do get good pictures from.

Regards, Jon

Hello

I feel sometimes that I under-use a feature of TE, and that is 'favourites' I will put this with mine. I have never been north of Scotland, but when I think of these areas of the world, your picture is a wonderful representation of my 'minds eye' I love it.
I may be wrong here, it feels slightly right-tilted, but this may be just a trick of the eye.

HI Samuel. Absolutely sensational sea capture! I like the white response of the waves to the snow on the mountains. Great! Tibo

Hello Samuel,
I like the shape of the hills with their graphic contrasting grey and white colours, but what really makes it for me is the colours and texture of the sea. The white of the foam seems to mirror the snow on the hills and the larger wave creates a very pleasing curve that leads the eye into the background.
I agree with Martin that there seems to be a slight tilt but I think that's mainly due to the shape of the strip of beach in the midground and therefore difficult to avoid. You could try rotating left a little to see if that helps.
Anyway it's a very striking and effective shot that conveys very well the sensation of a nordic winter.
Well done!
John

Bonjour Samuel,

Cliché réaliste exprimant la rudesse de l'hiver en ces contrées très septentrionales. L'agitation des flots est très bien rendue. La vallée en U qui finit en ce lieu rend très bien compte de l'empreinte glaciaire existant encore il y a environ 10-12000 ans.

Cool, I love how the foreground waves perfectly mimic the snowcovered mountains in the background. Yet another shot proofing how good bad weather suits Norway :-)

Really a frozen, artic landscape.
I like the sea and the mountains have more or less the sme colors and pattern of white and grey.
The wave gives some dynamicity to the scene. Really a beautiful picture

I like the colors, composition, and most of all the subject matter. Very beautiful. Only sugeestion would be to adjust the tilt slightly CCW.

What an interesting photo - the pattern of white on the waves is so similar to that on the mountains, that it looks as if the water has actually frozen to ice in the shape of the wave, and then snow has fallen on top of it.

Cheers,
Jordan
