Great shot. Congrats on your high finish!

Well done. It had to be the North Sea. I could sense it from this distance.

It almost gives the feeling of being there in the wind and spray - nice. Cropping out the water in foreground might be better.

Awesome view. Good depth and drama. Cropping out the foreground water wouldn't hurt, I don't think. Have you tried this in b&w? Bet it would look great.

A definate standout in the challenge and very likely a ribbon contender. Excellent job!

I would have cropped out the water on the bottom of the image to create something like a 2:1 crop. I think it would have heightened the feeling of the large waves in the back.

When viewing this photo, I really get a sense of the power that these waves can exert. I think if just the one man on the left was in the image (not the family on the right), it would have been an even more powerful shot.

Great sea, and an interesting approach to this. I could do without the scrubby bit of water at the bottom, though.

Wow, this is one of the reasons I like DP Challenge - an opportunity to see what I otherwise could not.
The magnitude of the waves and the wall are obvious with the people and lightpole as perspective. The stormy colors feel stormy (rather than a WB problem) with the yellow stripe on the left-most persons clothing. The placement of people and light pole is interesting, but I'm wondering if the photo would be stronger without the water at the bottom.

Wow, thats neat. Its a little brave to be standing out in that storm.

great colors in the stone, contrast nicely with the water.

Nice capture with massive feel. Bump.

Meets the challenge well and I LOVE the power of the waves depicted here.

I like the pulse of water along the bottom of the frame. Nice subtle touch. A lesser photographer would have cropped that out. 8

Wonderful wave action in your photo. The colours, people for scale, and imperial view of nature's forces is outstanding. 9.
