Dancing Waves

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

Just heading out from Iceland on our cruise to East Greenland. Trying to catch the light on the waves from the setting sun. I thought more colour would show in the waves. I added a slight Orton effect.

Specific Feedback

I was not sure this would qualify for the challenge this week.

Technical Details

Nikon Z7 at 400 mm
1 100th sec f5.6 ISO400

Laura, the light catching the wave tops and their nice curve through the frame look very good. I could see cropping this to pano, without the dark foam area at the bottom. I also think this is too large for a close-up/macro view. For me and many others the upper size “limit” for close-up is in the 12 - 15 inches long axis range.

I like both your suggestions Mark. Good to know the correct definition of macro.
