I love it!

@Jason: Thanks Jason, a little different from all those Taranaki beach shots in the winter huh? :)

What I like is the human silhouettes: only dark things in the beautiful light of this marine landscape.

@EYES WIDE SHUT: Thanks for the kind comment!

Though you are in NZ... (and me being originally from Australia) the waves do remind me of Australia... got a pang of homesickness... great shot...
