Zeus storm

[bje07]

The today's storm is called Zeus.
Wind up to 160km/h, nice clouds, the sun but a small tide so not spectacular picture
C&C

WOW; that is great; how about a close up of the central active part alone?

Yes we can: Tell me something, I've heard it somewhere
But did not tell me I was too close

[Wavelength]

I liked this interpretation more

[purplehaze]

Oh yes, the second is spectacular!

[Geoff F]

Good well focused action shot with perfect exposure.

I prefer the full size version with some interesting clouds and other items to put everything into perspective.

Very nice Jean, second image for me

[bje07]

Thank you Janis and Binnur

[Mike Buckley]

I've never seen anything like it. Terrific colors, texture and shape!

[bje07]

Thank you Geoff I agree with you, personally I prefer the first pic
Thank you Mike, I saw huger waves at the same jetty in the past, even with "lighter" wind .

[bje07]

Thank you Nandakumar for your suggestion.
I have some difficulties to stay on the forum.
I don't know what is happening

I also prefer the first version, mainly because the tide marker (?) provides a sense of scale for the wave. Perfectly timed shot. Nice work.

Thank you for commenting John.
I don't know the specific word (what you called tide marker) but it is an indication to specify the presence of a rock in the water

In the UK they are apparently called "Groyne Markers", a "Groyne" being a man made wooden/rock/concrete wall like structure that usually runs down a beach to resist sand or shingle erosion. The markers indicate the end of a groyne when it's submerged by the tide. However, there are several different types (shapes) and I can't find any data on what else they might mean.

Jean, I also prefer the original image, mainly because that is what you saw in the viewfinder ( probably ). Nothing wrong with cropping it for your own - and other peoples choice but this is because of "comments" such as "I like a bit of the image"..... I like 100% of the image, not 30%...

Hahah...I agree with your point; but i only meant, 'Dear, you are so beutiful, especially your eyes'

A wonderful moment and shot.

You've to correct the wind speed. Probably more like 60km/h.

Thank you for commenting.

No ,no I persists, wind up to 160 km/h.

Thank you John for the precision.
In France they indicate mainly a wreck, a rock, some are bigger and painted in black

An hurricane starts at 117km/h. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_scale. The Beaufort scale goes up to 12. Further are the hurricanes divided in 5 categories. A wind speed of 160km/h would be a hurricane of the second category.
The beaufort scale is primary based on how the sea looks. The windspeeds are added later.

Nevertheless the picture is still beautiful.
