Surfing the wind plus repost

Critique Style Requested: Standard

REPOST:

David, this does show off the strength of the wind, with the flying spray. I do think that more contrast might look good.

Very nice, David. An excellent action image that really displays the wind and wave combination.

I had a hard time getting the contrast to be increased on this image as you suggested. I think I’ve done it this time.
The light was pretty flat when this was taken. Plus there’s not a lot of color or contrast in the setting.
I actually wound up using ON1 to increase the contrast. That’s one thing I can say about having choices for processing even if you don’t use them very often.

David, the added contrast in the repost looks good, a nice improvement.

How can I see the original and repost side by side other than downloading?

@GEGJr Click on either image to go to the larger version and there will be arrows to the right and left that you can click on to toggle from one to the other.

The added contrast made a nice difference, David.

Does it work on Android mobile?

Thanks but that still only shows 1 image at a time. I was hoping for something like Lightroom’s side by side compare function. But nevermind it’s not a problem.
Thanks
