Photo of the Day ContestStormy Seas by Benjamin Mercer
Wednesday, 12th March 2008
I haven’t corrected for the distortion of the lens in this, as I feel the distorted pier adds to the drama of the shot and seems to fit in with the tattered clouds and streaks of the retreating wave.

March 12th, 2008 at 10:57 amThank you everyone for your kind comments
As Reuben has said it was simply a matter of being in the right place at the right time… or the wrong place at the wrong time depending on how you feel about getting covered by icy cold waves
Both I and the camera got very wet taking this.

March 12th, 2008 at 4:17 pmThe dawn light has created drama in the clouds,the receding wave and slightly unusual colours all combine to make an attractive image. Your description and added feedback also adds interest. Just my personal opinion though , I prefer landscapes in landscape mode. Otherwise it is a very good shot. Congrats.
