Does this work?

I can't decide if the merge between the wave and the cliff is a distraction or if it strengthens the image since the wave is an extension of the diagonal. What is your opinion?

I appreciate both positive and negative feedback so please hammer on!
Reposts welcome.


Thanks for looking,

Pretty cool. I'd crop out the dark wave on the bottom though.

You should have saved this for next week's Motif - hopefully you have more :)

It's an outstanding photo.

To answer your question--I'd rather see the wave a bit to left to make it more of an extension to the cliff, rather than have it overlapping the cliff.

It's a cool shot, though!

I'd go for a little bit of separation between the wave and cliff.

Anders, sweet light! I like how the wave and cliff shapes almost mirror each other, although I would prefer a bit of separation between them.

I don't know if you were able to predict where the water would splash up like that. Nice work.

Thanks for all the comments! As always, I really appreciate them.

Dan, 'Predict' is a very strong word... Going through 1 GB of raw files on pretty much the same subject that evening (about 155 frames), there are two, maybe three keepers. The rest of the shots are headed for bit heaven... Typically for me, that's a pretty good hit rate for this type of subject.

I must admit I'm addicted to shooting breaking waves. It is FAR more economical with digital here since the keeper rate is so low. With slides, I frequently came home with a number of rolls, just to toss them all away. I even switched from slides to negative film when shooting the coastal zone just to keep the costs down a bit (the added constrast range didn't hurt either).
