Please explain why the subject is beautiful to you

New to site and accidently posted image to contest. Tried to change/remove and had no luck. Did not try too hard as more pressing problems at the moment.

That said, like the symmetry, contrasting colors, simplicity. Works well as a large print. Also, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I have weird eyesight. Believe that I have only sold one copy of this image as of present so there apparently is some lone sole somewhere that agrees with me or perhaps he was just attempting to make me feel better by buying one of my images.

The explanation should be shown in the description box, since not everyone reads comments. You don't need to replace your entry, just go to your profile -> my entries and edit the description field

I like your comment on the ocean and how it infuses peace. As I almost drowned, it does the opposite, infuses fear and more importantly respect. This image is beautiful in colour palette, warm and cool, powerful. I think your compositional style is very good giving strength to the ocean and you caught the wave coming in at us. There is a lot of good movement here. The rays of the sun nicely caught and the photograph is well exposed with good tonal quality. I feel the power with your upload, the power of the ocean and that is the main purpose of photgraphic art...to pull out an emotion. Thank you.

Thank you.

A good photo.

I gravitate to images like this showing the power of nature. With your photograph you show us the wonder beneath our feet and remind all of us to not only look up or forward but looking down one can find a photo. Your image is well exposed and shows good tonal ranges, it is exposed well and is not overcooked at all but is honest and easy to see and grasp. I like the grungy feel and even more grunge would not have been a bad idea. Thank you for teaching us with your upload.
