Wow, this is an amazing shot. I'd love to go there, but due to the fact that I am as poor as a dead rock, I don't think it would be possible at the current time.

It's a beautiful photo, that sea looks like it's raging! I saw similar scenes in Ireland not much time ago and i loved it. It makes you feel so alive.

beautiful shot!
just curious, is it set that there's a fellow standing right on the edge or you were just lucky?

It looks absolutely amazing. I love the power and vastness of the scene against the person walking there. and the contrast and black and white looks great!

Looks like any other rocky coast at first, but when spotting the human, the scale of this noticed. Impressive view. Must have been special to be there in real life.

very nice, but i feel that the whites are a tad bit grey here.. i like how you have included the human as a reference point wrt size.

das foto hat eine unglaubliche atmosphΓ€re und vermittelt gut den augenblick. mir gefallen auch die vielen strukturen und silouhetten sehr gut. das einzige was mich stΓΆrt ist der mangel an kontrast, bzw. hauptsΓ€chlich der hohen tΓΆne, deshalb sieht das bild fΓΌr meinen geschmack etwas zu verwaschen aus, vorallem weil es digital ist, mΓΌsste man die hΓΆhen etwas pushen. nichtsdestotrotz

Holy shit! It looks completely like a painting, it's just... awesome!
What really catches my attention in this photo, is the dark, brooding atmosphere, which is furthermore just emphasized with the black-and-white tones, as well as the dark cliffs and the raging sea. Truly a beautiful shot of the true element of our planet!

Nice work with tremendous contrasts, and the motion you caught just right... Who's in the background? Is that ~yatu-ex ? What speed did you use? The birds are caught nearly flawless in mid-air, which, in my limited experience, is almost impossible under most circumstances. I'd love to see a "landscape" version of this suitable for desktop background - I think that would be something I'd like to look at all day while at work... Kinda brings the stresses of daily work routines out and away, like the tides...

Well, I tried to leave you a meaningful comment, but it ate it (dA server error 500) Sorry - I couldn't reproduce it even if I tried. It's really a great photo nonetheless - if dA eats this comment I'm gonna blow chunks! It really was a long and thoughtful comment too. I really had lots to say but the words were fleeting, like the tides...

ok somehow I was able to go "back" and the comment was still there so a retry finally posted it so if theres a way to delete this one and it's parent, that'd be cool.

This is one sharp photograph. The balance of tones is just about perfect I say. But that guy standing off on the far left side is what makes it great. Great job with this. Definetly a
