Thanks man, I’m actually of Dutch ancestry myself! I’m going to have to get in touch with my roots and look at some of the Dutch masters work, any recommendations?
I'm Dutch myself too :) But I don't know many old masters, I just like to watch paintings in musea, and there are many of those here with large collections of many known, but also unknown painters.
Fantastic! Great image, John, powerful and just plain beautiful. Love those greens. Well-deserved POTD.
BTW, it's not literally diffraction, is it? Looks like a wave reflected back off a steep beach break, and colliding with an incoming one. That causes these steep vertical explosions. No criticism intended - just curious.
Wow! That is an amazing shot, such a scary wave too!
The water looks kinda like the Dutch masters used to paint it in their seascapes!

Willem van de Velde the Younger is the Jimi Hendrix (another Dutch name!), Coltrane, Cartier-Bresson, or Ansel Adams of these, if you get my drift.
Check out "‘De Windstoot" for instance.
thanks for the info!

First-class shot thanks for sharing it here.

Thanks man! After researching it a little more in depth, I believe you are correct :) I like the title diffraction better than reflection tho!
Amazing shot, powerful and beautiful at the same time!
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Incredible!
Amazing capture
