Did they now. If so they were talking about rhymms in the english language and ancient poetry. Perhaps they meant that they liked your image
I certainly do

Very nice catch. Posbilby I would try to put the person in less obvious place, so viewer first will see waves pattern and then will discover "human element". Still, very good photo.

I think it was a reference to the rhythm of the waves, but I could be giving them too much credit
Nice shot Shelia, I prefer some of the earlier ones but you consistantly churn out lovely images! (What's your keeper/gallery ratio from shots taken?)

Agreed. It's most likely a reference to the number, sequence and rythm of the waves. (Iambic pentameter literally meaning five feet or five steps in a sequence. But you all knew that anyway so I'll butt out now)
Nice shot Sheila - one of those 'impossible to repeat' moments.

Simon you are right the Iambic part refers to a sequence, the pentameter refers to the poetry. I of course was being sarcastic in my comment. Who so ever said it the first place either had their hand on it or their head in it
Nobs!

Oh shit...
Beer on the brain... (it IS friday...)
Iambic pentameter is the beat at which you speak in some poetry or prose... I seem to recall it being linked to the way in which some shakespherian plays were spoken

Scott,
You could perhaps try rescuing that post by surmising that the beer has froth, as do the waves ....
