Got Swells?

A scene from Shore Acres State Park from a few weeks back with 20ft. swells.

C&C always welcome.

Wow, the image has great energy.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Great capture, the water texture is perfect and the shapes of the swells and breaking surf convey the energy.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Wow - 20’ swells. Nice.

Awesome energy Alan, and the clouds have some nice detail for you too. I do wish that there wasn't just a snippet of the 2 rocks along the bottom right, they feel cut off. More of the rocks would be preferable I think.

Thanks Amy - it was a pretty awesome display.

Thanks Jim - I would likely have taken more time had I framed this as a single shot. This was an extracted frame from one of the videos I shot that day at Shore Acres. I was panning a lot trying to follow the waves and wasn't paying as much attention to the composition as I might have otherwise done.

Wow Alan, what a powerful image, that water looks colddd,
the horizon looks a bit off, and those corners grab too much attention for me(the blue sky, and the yellowish rock)
Great stuff, congrats.

Happy new year, and best wishes.

Thanks Andrey - I think you are correct about the horizon. Not sure why I didn't notice that before but of course now I can't unsee it
