Oregon Breaker

Steve,

 

This photo deserves another request for more ratings. Great job !

Simple and powerful, Steve! Just rotate it a little CCW to level the horizon. Blago

An outstanding capture. The slower shutter speed is perfect. Any slower and all detail would be lost. Great job!

Way cooool!

Wow!

Absolutely stunning!

Explosive ! Suits B&W nicely. Good shot.

Great shot. Love the choice of B & W.

cool!

Exceptional Image. Powerful and emotional, as well as fantasic tonality on the difficult shadow details of the rock and ocean spray. Bravo!

Captures the power of the wave and the beating the rock takes perfectly. The timing of the picture is just on. I once spent several hours and rolls of film trying to capture the explosion of a wave and have since gone back to still life.

 

It looks like a red filter was used, but with a digital camera I imagine the filter is applied in PS? - I'm an old silver in jelly man, so this may be a dumb question.

A polarizing filter was used on camera. The color shot was converted in PS via channel mixer. A curves adjustment was made to increase contrast, then the whole thing was sharpened.

Beautiful. I like it. Now this one's a keeper! Simple. Exposure and composition are excellent. Thumbs up!

I love this shot. The power and energy are great.

THERE IS NO BETTER TIMING !!!

Expressive. Congrats on a great shot.

Wow - looks powerful!

Good action!

I love it -- though I am curious -- what shutter speed and settings did you use? This may be built into the picture somewhere. Let me know if you know. :)

Another perfect exposure!

very impressive, feels the powers

Perfectly timed and executed. Very moving. I would love to see a larger version.

I really like how this conveys a sense of power and strength. Well done

I always dream to capture a scene like this! It is perfect is every way, the polarizer has darkened the sky sufficiently and the surf looks like almost spot lit by sun. Shutter speed is just perfect, not too slow to ruin the texture of the spray. Lastly the volume of water spraying out from the rock is amazing!
