Very nice
Perfect shutter speed and exposure. It looks almost like an abstract painting.

I agree with all comments provided that we see hair arranged using gel.
Waves are not wet, unreal. The technical skill is perfect anyway.
Patrick F , January 14, 2009; 01:56 A.M.
Beautiful, perfect! The first shot I have commented on in a long time (take that as a compliment!)
How much manipulation is involved here, just wondering?

Golden Wave
I must say at first glance the shot looked like one of mine.
This is a common theme of a wave as someone else said, the tonal qualities are interesting. Now for the other side.
Even though I said it looked like one of mine, in fairness I have to say it's very typical of what one woud do with a shot that at first glance they thought it was good, then got it home and said, what can I do to this to make it look bettr, ah...Photoshop it.
It does look like a painting but depending on one's taste, it could be over done.
But over all It caught my eye. So that's good.

This is either a miracle of timing and technique coming together or a work of art...or both.

Oil On Canvas
Like brush strokes by a painter,
Using oil on canvas.
You have caught the colour of the sunset,
surreal yet so real.
Beautiful.
