surf painting 1

This is a working print of a image for a series called "surf painting" that I am creating. Open to critique.

Nice shot with good effects. My eyes keep going to the bottom as I would like to see more of the sand effect. Nice photo..

Yep - I agree with Quaz8r - neat shot indeed.
Lots of layers, lines and motion - definitely an enjoyable view!

Thanks for the observations. Here's another image from the same series. I am thinking the light quality may be better mid day than after sun down. I battled cloning out the small foam line and left it (for now).

The first one is interesting. Have you given any though to cropping the image to a point just below the wave curl? I tried by scrolling the screen and liked the way the straight lines juxtaposed themselves into an abstract look with varying lines and shapes. Just a thought...

Argyle I see what you mean. I'll be giving it more thought over the next few weeks.

Intense captures which are full of the patterns and forces of nature. The bold shadow at the bottom adds a menacing mimicry of the waves, dark and brooding, with the first version being my favourite. However, I suspect that this part may prove slightly controversial when these days, detail is expected to be extracted from the darkest of areas.

There is detail in the darkest sand. The monitor is a limited gamut viewing device. In print the darkest sand will look like a dark Hershey bar with sand granules in it. Detail will be visible.

Cool idea; I've tried doing some of these before but never came up with something, ultimately, interesting.

Out of the two here, I like the second one better with more of the sand showing. I'd be tempted to do something about that small, foam line, too though. I'd be curious to see what the final series wound up being.
