Wow! The first and last for me.
No2 would make a great cover for a book or album sleeve.

Those are great shots....I love No 2....the old saying of 1 mans meat is anothers poison springs to mind here, the waves are spectacular but the damage they are causing is immense...

Incredible power captured in those Roger, the last one is just pipped by No. 2 for me

All brilliant shots. For me, number 2 is the best of a very good bunch.
It's not easy to get a decent shot when your being buffeted by the storm and your fingers have one numb! Wonder if Olympus could introduce a 'shivering photographer' IBIS setting?

Haha, yes, that would be a good idea!

All great shots but the last is definitely my favourite. As you say, light is paramount and all too often with stormy seas, you have indifferent skies but the conditions were almost perfect - you captured the scenes very well.

Thanks Anne, I was very fortunate with the light that afternoon.

You're absolutely right, Peter, the recent gales are a photographer's dream in many ways, but not so good for those that have suffered damage and flooding.

Thanks Iain. No 2 seems to be the most popular, followed by No 4. My only slight problem with No 2 is that you can't see the lighthouse which gives a sense of scale in the other shots.

Very powerful images and like Anne my favourite is the last one.
