Quote by Albert Einstein. This is my first submission here at DPChallenge so I hope I won't fare too badly.
The picture was taken during sunrise at Bondi Beach here in Sydney. I got there a little late to capture the first break of light and the skies didn't look to good as it was very cloudy. I waited on and hoped for the best. I repositioned myself further up away and as I saw the waves coming in I quickly snapped this picture and ran away with my camera and tripod as that one wave was very strong. Risked getting my equipment damage for this one shot but I must say it was well worth it :)

Congratulations on such an impressive finish in your first challenge. This is a beautiful shot - one of my top scores - and well deserving of 5th place.
Thanks for all the wonderful comments guys! I think i'm really gonna enjoy my stay here at DP Challenge. Looking forward to the next challenge already :)
The exposure is good. Like the movement of the water. The only thing that bothers me is the rock in the bottom left corner. My eyes are drawn to it. Good luck.
This is s nicely done photograph. Nice Horizon, nice use of long exposure to handle the smooth flow of water. Its nicely saturated and yet not blowen out. Near perfect exposure I'd say. This is an 8 from me. Well done.
Wow, amazing perspective on this photo. Just unbelievable depth of field and the motion blur on the water is perfect and sort of matches the clouds. What a pretty spot and perfect image. 10.
Despite a slightly crooked horizon, this is a fantastic shot with an excellent sky and foreground, as well as a great use of long exposure. Very nicely done.
Good sense of movement in this one. Both in the clouds and the water. The balance of that movement helps you to get away with the otherwise frowned upon 50/50 split...
