Great Black and White photos part 3

1. These pictures from theses photographers caught my eyes by the way they are set up and taken. I have never seen waves captured so well.




2. In this picture of waves, I see the clouds colliding with the ocean. I see the waves crashing against each other. I see the horizon so far.  I can smell the salt rising into the air. I can smell the bird poop on my shoulder. I can smell the sea weed under my feet. I hear the birds above me chirping I can hear the ocean below me swooshing. I taste the salt water thats splashing in my face from the waves. I can feel the wind threw my hair & over my skin.
