Surging rush Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taking this shot one hour before sunset. I jumped over a trench and reached an isolated big coral reef. The tide rose fast, and I had to watch out if the trench behind me was submerged.

The Rock of Richard Nixon's Head were placed at the top-left side to balance the composition. Usually the fart smaller object at the background helps the depth of field a lot. Do you think the Rock of Richard Nixon's Head is too big?

The tides were arranged at the foreground with lower shutter speed. They led the view into the sea water, the Rock of Richard Nixon's Head where the gentle sunlight was casting.

The spray in the middle was a bonus......

Hi Jim,
Great result with your shot, good idea for this vertical frame, impressive rocks with a nice golden ligft and well seen this large foreground and this waves effect with 1/2 s.

Jim,
Excellent photo! The slower shutter speed has a great effect on the moving water giving it a silky look. The low angle light on the rock gives a very nice gold color and makes it stand out. The colors are great with excellent sharpness and DOF.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Jim,
I like your POV including this big rock at the end of the landscape. Great colours and movements of the water.
Well done!
