Surf on "Blinkys" Beach on the eastern side of Lord Howe Island.  The west wind blows the spume from the top of the waves which were really quite small. A bit of darkening in Photoshop adds effect. "Special Merit" Northside Creative Photography Club 5.4.06.
A green wave at Blinky's Beach. Shot with Canon 300mm L Image-Stabilised Lens. 1/125th@f6.3, 100ISO. While the wave looks huge, it was maybe 1 metre in height. Strong westerly wind blew the spume from the top of the wave.
