Info We had a rare small summer storm the other day, and I went to the West Coast of Denmark as sunset was approaching to witness the roaring nature. Since the wind had been hard for many hours at this time, large swells had been building up, leading to large breaking waves when hitting the pier. Image quality is much worse than my usual standards. Due to large amounts of sea spray and sand particles in the air, my lens was covered with a salt film after a few seconds after cleaning it, that combined with the timing requirements and the limited visibility to the end of the pier has led to a low pixel quality. Still I find that the wow mitigates it. Created, uploaded, nominated by Slaunger -- Slaunger (talk) 08:15, 12 July 2015 (UTC)- Info Fun fact: On the evening/night this photo was taken, the unusually strong wind conditions resulted in 116% of national electricity consumption being produced by wind farms and at 3AM the next morning at low demand, wind production exceeded 140% of current demand. The surplus electrical energy was exported to Sweden, Norway and Germany. [1] -- Slaunger (talk) 14:55, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Oppose. Sadly, not even sharp at 3 MP, and the wow really needs to be POTY finalist level for me to support something this unsharp. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:48, 12 July 2015 (UTC)- Oppose, sorry, per King. Really shaky. — Julian H.✈ 18:15, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
