Description

Below the thunders of the upper deep, Far far beneath in the abysmal sea, His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee About his shadowy sides: above him swell Huge sponges of millennial growth and height; And far away into the sickly light, From many a wondrous grot and secret cell Unnumbered and enormous polypi Winnow with giant fins the slumbering green. There hath he lain for ages and will lie Battering upon huge seaworms in his sleep, Until the latter fire shall heat the deep; Then once by men and angels to be seen, In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

Awesome shot, great capture of the water in motion! I have never seen a guy in this type of shot; usually it is some beach babe flinging about in the waves, lol. This is a unique spin on that theme, well done! (Love the Lord Tennyson poem) ;)

My wife thinks this is much better than a Beach Babe! Ooops, forgot to credit Lord Alfred Tennyson for the words.
