On the contrary to a lot of comments, the photo looses a lot of caracter by croping the horizon of it. Tried it and didn´t like it.
I know hindsight is always 20/20 but maybe taking the picture from a different angle, keeping the horizon but reducing the prominence of the amount of ocean in the shot. Just a thought....
Now that's taking the splash photo to a whole new level!
Great idea, and the splash is well captured, but the composition lets it down. The top half of the photo, after the first wave, is wasted in this shot because the focal point is right down at the bottom.
ok two things. first the orange thing, whatever it is, should be more visible. second the shutter speed was not fast enough to totally freeze the splash, making the splash look blurry some things that are good are that you met the challenge and i also like the crop you used, creating a lot of negative space. 5
I don't think the horizon is necessary in this shot so you could have cropped it just below the whitecap in the middle. Also, timing is everything. More imact may have been gotten if you had clicked the shutter a split second earlier.
