From the Edge, a photo from ハワイ, West

Photographer's Note

The obvious signature of Maui is its natural beauty whether you are inland or at the edge of the sea. This capture was taken north of Kaanapali near the northern tip of the island. This is where many experienced surfers love to challenge their abilities on the large waves. This photo was taken from the north end.

Hi Paul, A fantastic image.. love the contrasts and vertical and horozontal lines of the cliffs and the sea.. keeping the dark cliffs on the LHS adds so much dimension well posted.. Ric

Hi Paul,

It must be fun to surf on these big waves but dangerous close to the rocks. Impressive shot of the power of nature.

Warm regrad

Hello Paul,

You capture well this scape from indeed good angle, so it's interesting and impressive to see together the nature with sea, rock, mountain and sky. The whole is covered with thick clouds. It's impressive in sea spray in the inside where the mountain rises high back. And, some layers of the approximation color which constitutes the image draw out a charm and good atmosphere.

Kind regards,
mikio

Good Morning Paul,

I have enjoyed just gazing at this shot, trying critically to decide why I like it so much. Sometimes, you feel that you just want to write - 'I would love to be here; you have enthused me!'
However, I know, I need to say more! I love the sense of movement on a still photograph, I like the composition, where the 'L' shape of the cliff leads down to the rolling waves and I like the subtle blue hues, they are a painter's guide.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)
