EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Stephane Mahe, the power of nature is on full display as a high wave crashes forcefully against the protecting wall at the fishing harbour in Pornic, France. Taken during the Carmen storm that hit the French Atlantic coast on January 1st, 2018, this image showcases both the beauty and danger inherent in natural phenomena. The scale of this wave is awe-inspiring, towering over the surrounding landscape and dwarfing a lone boat floating nearby. The foam created by its collision with the wall adds to its dramatic effect, while reflections dance upon its surface. The stormy sky above sets an ominous tone with dark clouds looming overhead. Despite being devoid of people, there is no shortage of life in this photograph. The water drop-filled air hangs heavy with anticipation as it mingles with mist rising from the rough sea below. Nature's raw power is palpable here; one can almost feel droplets hitting their skin and taste saltiness in the air. Stephane Mahe's creative use of composition captures a moment frozen in time where water meets land - a clash between two opposing forces resulting in breathtaking imagery. This picture serves as a reminder of our environment's immense strength and unpredictable beauty amidst turbulent weather conditions.
