Landscape Photo Competition 2014 No 1 : Entry Number 114

Here you have seized all the power and indeed the beauty of a breaking wave, you have captured the movement at the most perfect moment, it is quite stunning. The cropped format suits the picture well, the background rocks bringing a taste of a truly wild location. I like the applied blur on the foreground water, it brings us back into the wave, but i don’t like the effect brought on by the blur on the rocks which takes away the beautiful feel of the real.

Thank you so much for the honor!! This photo was taken at Pacifica Ca. this past winter. The camera is a Sony SLT A65V. I was using a 200-500 zoom and this was hand held. Shutter speed 1/1600, f5.6, ISO 100. Thank you again for recognizing my work. Colleen Renshaw
