Impressive composition and color, but where is this? If it’s in the Western U.S., I’d try to go there next summer on a road trip with my sister and granddaughter. Even your web site doesn’t specify where in the world this lovely view is located.
To me, the what, when, where is as important as the technical beauty of the photo…………
Great mountain colors and composition , thanks
Never seen anything like that. Very nice scene.
love the colourand the ’surfer’ give you anidea of how huge this is.
How unusual; I’ve never seen this before.
Very interesting rock formation. the composition is nice and by inserting a human figure it gives more impact to the whole image
Great angle to capture the wave shape of this rock formation. One can only imagine the tremendous force that created it. I loved the title. Please include location information.
Wow! Fantastic shot Isabel.
Arizona. google The Wave.
Impressive, and the human is the *icing* on the cake!!
What amazing and creative photography!!! Very good eye for capturing this incredible scene. The human figure shows the immensity of this place. Congrats from Argentine.
You’re right, the beauty of nature is surpassed by nothing else!! Great shot!
I’ve seen your website, is superb. You’re a great photographer!!! Congratulation.
I did google Arizona Wave,thanks Davey. The pictures are amazing, as is this shot; thanks for sharing.
Hummmm! This is unusual or maybe I’ve just not been exposed to such a scene. What an interesting layering of earth. Looks like making taffy. The whole thing is a ” let me look at this again” type photo.
Thank you for introducing me to something new. Great photography Davey.
Love it! great shot! thanks for sharing!
I apologize, for the error in addressing you as Davey, I meant to say Isabel. Please forgive.
You are a terrific photographer.
It’s a beautiful shot. Has startling colors, patterns and contrasts. But, had I not lived in Arizona I would not be able to ID the location.
Personally, I strongly feel that at least the what and where should be required before a photo can be posted. Mixed on when but not a bad idea.
Fascinating! I love the imagery of the surfer riding the wave. Even the clouds are in perfect formation, as if the wind is blowing the wave, leaving the surfer surrounded by blue skies.
This is my first time to see “The Wave” in Arizona. Thanks, Isabel and Earthshots!
Thanks to those who provided location info. I also feel it should be required to at least give location for all photos. I personally like the “when” also–season/dawn or dusk, etc.
Those of you who are more technically oriented seem to want equipment and settings info. The added would be so beneficial for many of us.
@all: Thank you so much for all your comments!
@Katherine: I´m sorry, I was abroad for a couple of days and did not know that the image I submitted was chosen here on Earthshots. Somehow I was also pretty sure that I had uploaded it with an “Nevada, US” tag.
This scenery strongly reminded me of the incredible Coyote Buttes North Area in Arizona, but in fact this image was taken in Valley of Fire near Las Vegas. This little State Park is definitely one of my all-time favorites out there in the Southwest.
Best wishes and always good light to all of you!
Isabel
A great shot with the human presence giving a sense of scale withount distracting.
