What a powerful image. I am imagining the couple are the owners, the way she is holding on to his arm.

Fantastic shot! This is the kind of image you would see published somewhere prominent. You should try to sell it.

Sad day for someone...it certainly looks as though it has effected the folks in the shot. Good catch.

Love it. The sea's looking like an ominous presence. The shot has a disturbing feel to it.

Wow. Powerful photo. I hope nobody got seriously hurt. Thanks for sharing, and welcome to the forum! It looks like we're getting a lot of new blood recently, and that's a great thing.
