Taking a Chance

Best on black. I am often amazed by the risks people take to get a shot. Thankfully she got back to safety before a bigger wave took her in to the ocean.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

Such a magnificent capture and scene!

Great storytelling shot. Unfortunately, the camera is a dangerous device. It poses a threat to both the user and the environment. Have you never managed to destroy a spider's web in search of a better shot, or crush a flower or a mushroom?

Great composition Jane! Magnificent capture of the waves. Fav

You do hear of so many fishermen getting washed off rocks with large waves! The shot is impressive though - showing the power of the ocean!

It seems even worse since everyone has a cellphone and some kind of social media that they want likes for their shot.

Oh dear this is scary. Living by the ocean we hear of so many rock fishermen who have been washed off rocks here and it is then the task of air sea rescue to either save them or collect their bodies from the ocean. No life jackets here either.

Great shot. That said, I don't think that her shot was worth the risk that she was taking. The rocks had to be very slippery and dangerous.

@haskar so true

Nice shot-what does it mean “best on black”

@kaylynn2150 if you click on the photo after you open it, it will change the background from white default to black. Does that make sense?

I hope she got a good photo. That certainly is risky with the often unpredictable waves.

A brilliant capture, but wow, not much sense.

Oh my! exceptional capture! fav

Wow, awesome capture. And they probably don't even give it a second thought about being out there. She is lucky she got back without being swept off of the rocks.
October 21st, 2022  
Wow!

that does look like more stupid than brave
October 21st, 2022  
I agree

lovely capture

Great story telling image. I'm often appalled by the things that people will do to get a shot. They don't stop to think that if things go wrong and they need help, they could be putting other people in danger.

Her position does seem quite precarious so I'm glad she made it back to safer ground. Great capture of the splash over the rocks

Someone's either very brave or stupid.Great action capture of the crashing waves.Fav😊

Fantastic capture, though that doesn't look like the safest spot to stand

So true - visitors don’t understand the unpredictable “sneaker waves” and the numbers of people who have died from them.

Like the light on the water spray
