Streaming Light, Maui Streaming Light from Haleakala, Maui Haleakala,

Hana, Maui Was working the exploding waves with a long lens from a

rock outcropping in the ocean. The light suddenly opened up and I

quickly realized the possiblilities and changed lenses, grabbing the

wide angle. The waves quit coming in but the light remained strong. I

prayed, 'God, don't do this to me, PLEASE'. A few seconds later

another strong set of waves came in. After getting this first one the

light cloase us and was gone for the rest of the morning. But one was

enough. Thank-U-Lord.

Slightly tighter than earlier up-loads, which the bots always knoced to the mid-range section in the low 5's from the low 6's it had enjoyed at first.

excellent capture 6/6

Very good shot, perhaps a little too strong on the light

It's absolutely wonderful picture,good lighting & details.I agree with KP maybe you should move the visual angle a little down. but it still good!

thanks for your critques and your ratings. I scanned this from a print but maybe the neg has more info on the bottom. I hope so as it would be nicer moved up a little. MS

This is a very dynamic shot, Michael, from the bright sun in the top left to the breaking waves at the bottom right. There's certainly no wasted space in this one.

Thanks Lannie, but the upper right could of used a bird flying through- from right to left, INTO the scene of course- hah. What are you going to do, nothing is perfect until we get to heaven, right? Blessings- MS.

good lighting-good shadows, good tones

What else can I say? strong light and strong wave and strong character.
