Beautiful image Jon. From alot of images from this beach this one stands out. The splash element makes in unique and this is something I got to try myself.

I am not a photographer and I start every day by checking out Earth Shots and this one is so beautiful I can*t stop looking at it. Thank you for sharing it.
Jon Reid
Thanks again for the great compliments everyone.
Pat – it is the true colour, I haven’t touched the saturation of the image other then what naturally becomes more saturated when increasing the contrast. Here is another take: http://www.flickr.com/photos/catchlightsa/6114134776/

I have never seen an image from these ice laden black sand beaches with wave action captured. They are always with calm conditions. Awesome !!!! congrats!

James – This was my second trip to the Ice Lagoon and I had never thought to capture something like this. This day was also the first I’d ever seen the waves actually crashing into the ice so maybe it doesn’t happen all that often.

Stunning photo!
Speaking for the ametuer wanna be photographers of the world, it would be helpful if all POTD shots would include the details to used create these masterpieces… camera, lens, exposure time, filters, etc.
And speaking for the wanna be travelers, it would be helpful to have the city and country listed as well.
Pauline Jones
This is quite surreal; looks like an abstract.
