Took this shot at Kaikoura coast in NZ. Was a cloudy windy day for whale watching.

Used polarizing plus ND8 filter to lengthen the SS to 1/6s at F25. ISO200. I merely managed to fast twist the zooming ring during the 1/6s to get the dynamic effect but not quite sure if you can feel it. It's not that obvious though. What else can you do to further lengthen the SS?

Converted to B/W and darkened the sky, also cranked up the contrast. In terms of composition, do you think the foreground is quite boring? An option i can think of is to wait until the waves washed up the shore a bit more.

Nikon D40 18-55mm kit lens at 22mm, can't used 18mm due to the vignette cropping from the filters.

Critique hard on this you guys are my mentors. :thumbsup:
