The layering of foam, man, rock, mist, rock, trees, and clouds combine to make this shot utterly amazing. By reducing it to black and white tones, you take out much of its complexity, and leave only the essence of the idea.
Ultra-stunning shot.
The clouds, the mist, the wide angle, and that lonesome person all make for a spectacular shot!
And let's not forget the wave lines and the reflections.
Really a dazzler!
Bravo, Iris!
