Pretty scene. Nice light and good timing.
I'd like to see you try something more dramatic. Perhaps get in
tighter of use a longer lens, so the closest breaking wave fills more
than half the frame and overflows it in places.

Hi Everyone:
I believe this is my 1st wave shoot. I probably shot about 90 pics,
but this was the best of the bunch. The others weren't very
interesting mainly because I didn't time the shots right or the wave
didn't turn out as dramatic as I thought it might or the composition
was uninteresting. Getting all of the aforementioned just right at
the same time was hard.
Birds were everywhere as well--so I cleaned up the sky quite a bit--
lots of blurry black spots polluting that drab looking sky :-).
I found shooting waves quite a challenge. I tried to use all my
senses to anticipate where the big splashes might be but it often
didn't work out. I tried to rely on hearing, but it seemed the
louder and incoming wave was the less interesting was the splash
when it hit the shore :-). If anyone has any tips, I'd be
grateful. I probably should try this again with an ND filter, no?
Also, I'd be interested in knowing which crop you prefer--I've
cropped the jogger out of the 2nd pic.
Anyway, comments/critique welcome--I could use some help in shooting
this subject.
