Stormy Lighthouse Image Awarded Photo Of The Week

An image of a lighthouse surrounded by turbulent seas has been awarded the Photo of the Week accolade this week. 

The image, entitled 'Withstanding' by ePz member PictureDevon was chosen to win by the team here at ePHOTOzine and here's why we thought it deserved to win: 

This image has managed to capture the power of the waves as they smash into the breaker. The shutter speed used captures the undulating movement of the waves without losing too much of the texture in the foam. 

It's quite a minimalist image, with the lighthouse providing the only relief to the otherwise dull, grey and stormy scene. The angle at which the breaker has been captured leads the eye into and through the image to the lighthouse and the turbulent sea beyond. The square crop works well and gives the image a gallery-worthy feel. 

Photo of the Week winners currently get their hands on a 32GB EVO MicroSDHC card with SD adapter from Samsung. See all the images that have been awarded the accolade in the POTW gallery.
