Dance of the Harpy – This fine art wave photograph was captured at Bronte Beach, Australia. On this wild morning, a powerful swell rolled into the coastline, sending towering waves into the bay. Fuelled by a strong offshore wind, the sea came alive under the rising sun, which ignited the waves from within – casting a surreal green glow through the water. Amidst the chaos, a lone seabird cruised by, defying the wind and navigating the harsh elements with grace.
Inspired by the harpies of Greek mythology – fierce spirits of storm and wind, half-bird and half-woman – this image reflects their raw, untamed power.
