    Blue wave

    Tried shooting some waves and this was my best shot.

    Nice scene, and nice catch. I do with the wave were on the left side of the frame though. I think you could also get away with cropping maybe the bottom 1/8th of the image. I've got mixed feelings about the color...the water looks too saturated for a natural image, but if you were going for the look you posted, then well done.
    mostly Nikon gear

    Feel free to edit my images for critique, just let me know what you did.

    Beautiful scene, nice catch of the wave, but i agree with n8 about the saturated blue. Also, it looks as though the whole image has been over processed somehow.
    Still a lovely scene captured well.
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    I'd like to see the original. Was it overcast outside?

    Re: Blue wave

    I like the photo for the content of the picture but I think the colour is a little harsh for the image, my first thought was that it was more of an oil painting than a picture, The bright blue of the water makes the rocks seem very dull in comparison.

    I agree with N8 about the cropping of the picture, if you were to crop it just underneath the start of the wave on the left hand side I feel it would improve your picture and help the wave draw you in to the depths of the picture even further.
