Thanks everyone for the comments. I was driving along the main costal autovia on a very flat misty day when I saw this beach with the waves breaking on the sea stack. It was the drama that made me stop and navigate down to the beach. I had no idea that the surge round the sea stack would produce such subtle textures and colours, instead I thought that the breaking waves, many of which totally engulfed the stack, would be the picture. I have about a dozen images and I will slowly work my way through them to find the best, I will not bore you with them all. The first image posted the first one here were taken at f32 to produce a shutter speed of 0.3s. The second one that engulfed the stack at f10 and 1/25s. I go to capture the drama and due to my poor timing the shots that I didn't mean to take turn out much better, ah serendipity. Ken
