Description
Finally been motivated to get out and shoot. The waves are pretty big in Hawaii right now so I’m hoping to get out more and take advantage of these conditions and shorter days.
This a close up shot of a wave crashing on rocks. It was pretty frustrating at times shooting these because my lens was having trouble focusing half the time.
Specific Feedback
I am pretty happy with how this one turned out and I didn’t really do much to it. I’ll happily take any feedback to improve the image. Thank you

Wow – I think this is wonderful!! This strikes me as a very intriguing catch, looking into the wave instead of at it. The shapes are remarkable with so much in focus, and frozen in time. The subdued blues and cyans work so well together. Truly a joy to appreciate!!

Awesome! Really happy you like it Diane!
The last time I was in Hawaii (too long ago), I tried doing something like this, but the results didn’t have the wonderful three-dimensional feel of this image. It feels like you’re inside the wave. I’m curious what f-stop you were using?
Thank you Dennis! I think my f stop was 6.3 but I’ll check when I get home
Fantastic image Glenn! It has this immersive quality to it. I love the patterns and the cool tones in it. Great example of a compelling abstract!

This sure looks like your camera (and you) are about to get soaked! The sense of depth is a great feature.
