Waiting for the perfect wave

Very nice. I like the low horizon line and the rocks in the foreground.

This is a perfect shot.. I like the difference in the tones. But would have been an ideal subject for a landscape photograph

I like the vertical composition in this shot, it lends itself nicely to the rule of thirds with the reflection and shore in the lower third. There is also a very nice contrast created on the left side with the darker clouds.

The rocks in the foreground make a nice frame for this but I might suggest straithening your horizon.

great shot and nice composition, I like the vertical crop. I think the horizon should be levelled out. I'd like to see a bit more contrast in the clouds to add texture and perhaps the surfers and foreground could be darkened just a touch to emphasize the sillouette effect.

In fact after posting this comment, I decided to have a play with the image myself, hope you approve? Crop has been straightened and contrast added as per my suggestions above. I also adjusted hue and saturation to boost the golden sunset effect. There's never a lot of data to play with in jpg files so your original RAW image (if you shot in RAW) will be better for adjustments.



If you don't approve of my editing, I'll happily remove and delete the image.

I like it, but is it slanted or somehow curved? Maybe it's just me or this monitor but the curvature almost makes me dizzy.

New Jersey? Keep waiting.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks flat as a board. Doesn't appear to be anything working in the horizon either. I hope it was shot in warmer temps. I hear the water is super cold this time of year.
