Kangaroo Island, South Australia

I've kept away from seascapes most of the year to build up my portfolio in other sorts of landscapes. However I returned to the sea to keep up the skills recently. These are rock platforms facing a particularly fierce section of the Southern Ocean, nothing between here and Antarctica!

Cooool! Sweet water action all over the place, Kah Kit. Nicely done. I like the combo of whitewater and the dark, menacing clouds.

Well, it looks like you haven't lost your touch, Doctor. Agree with the others--this is amazing.

Don't know what to say here Kah Kit. "Magical" is the first word that came to mind and I think I'll leave it at that. An exceptional image I think, even by the stds of this gallery.

Nice sweeping flow Kah. The drama is fantastic, the sky has eyes!

Outstanding coastal image, Kah. By themselves, the rocks would probably be a bit dark to have much interest, but the swirling water over the top of them looks great. Well done.

The foreground water is fantastic Kah Kit! I really like that ominous sky as well. Fantastic work!

Sweet Kah Kit
Almost looks like milk poured over this rocky shore. Wonderful presentation.

i love the FG - the lines created by the water is fabulous. the sky seems strongly vignetted - but that could just be the patterns in the clouds at that moment. nice, ominous work.

Spectacular image! Love all the white lines of foam in the water. Might like to see a little more detail in the cliffs.

Kah, this is an extremley powerful FG, the drama here is very unique. The dark stormy clouds are a perfect complement to the mood. Great work

Lovely shot. Especially like the movement of the water over the reef. Your reverse GND has done a good job here. Need to get one for myself. Well done.

Beautifully captured dramatic waterscape-scene. Love how it depicts the violent sea but somehow still looks fantastic and gorgeous. Great details in the foreground.

Hope you had a higher spot to stand nearby! All sorts of water action going on here!

Nice work!

Wow that's absolutely killer! Your skills are just fine! The water action has so much depth and interest. Contrasts very well withe the color in the sky.

My, what drama and beauty, you sure haven't lost your seascape touch! The cloud upper left is a bit dark, other than that just spectacular!

A beautiful and dramatic shot, Kah Kit. I love the combo of colors in the shot, especially the greens of the ocean against the sky reds. The lightened section of cloud in the middle is a nice touch to the comp to relieve the heaviness. Spectacular work.

Good grief, this is fascinating. It's the most unique water action I've seen--I believe--ever.

I remember this from P.net. Fantastic work Kah Kit. One of your best seascapes. I love the depth, and the placement of those two holes in the reef really anchors the comp nicely.

the spot looks familiar, that is a lot of water and some great handling of the water and light. Nice image Kah

Beautiful. Love the lines everywhere.

My only nit is the contrast between major lights and darks seem just a tad too much for my eye.

Still a very cool image.

Movement, movement, movement:) The movement of the water causes you to constantly explore every detail of this shot. The mood and drama of the sky is excellent!
