Hello,
This picture is beautiful! I am currently creating a website dedicated to fractals and fractal geometry and am planing on using it on one of the pages. If you are interested in the topic, please check out my website after Dec 15th 2004.
Thank you for the great pic :)

Hello,I was looking for a dynamic wave to paint and when I saw this one I knew that was the one. I have now finished the painting which is in Acrylic and I am quite pleased with the result.I would like to sent it email to you if you wish to reply. I have only stared painting this year and I find it most rewarding in my retirement.I have tried to work out how you took such a beautiful and dramatic picture. Thank you for letting me copy from this loverly picture. Regards John Hyde.

Exactly what I needed for a Prayer Guide for a "Day of Prayer" event; theme: The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus. Much material referenced the ocean...Your photo made a stunning cover. Thanks!

I used your photo as a backdrop for one of my own photos.

Thank you for a fabulous picture of a crashing wave. I keep watching the surf for painting ideas when I am at the beach.I noticed there was always green below the crest and you have depicted it perfectly.
