EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the sheer power and beauty of nature as large waves relentlessly crash against the lighthouse and harbour at Newhaven in Sussex. Taken on February 15,2014, during a tumultuous period for Britain's weather, this image showcases the devastating impact of the third storm to hit the country within a week. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the dangerous conditions that prevailed during this time, with record levels of floodwater already plaguing southern and western parts of England. The dark clouds looming overhead add an atmospheric touch to the scene, enhancing its dramatic appeal. Despite the destructive force depicted in this image, there is also a sense of awe-inspiring beauty found within nature's fury. The creative use of composition allows viewers to appreciate both the magnitude of these waves and their collision with the sturdy lighthouse standing tall amidst chaos. With no people present in frame, attention is solely focused on Mother Nature's relentless assault on man-made structures. This absence further emphasizes how insignificant we are when faced with such immense natural forces. Toby Melville skillfully captured this momentous event through his lens, providing us with a striking reminder that even amidst destruction lies an undeniable allure found only in nature's raw power.
