Sea Foam crawling outby
audinutComment by sibeling: << Critique Club >>
Initial Impression:
"Is that some kind of bone? Oh! It's the foam in stop-action! Pretty cool!" Honestly, I thought it was a bone.
Composition:
Compositionally, it seems just a little off or unbalanced - a bit heavy on the right side, maybe. I do like that the c-shape of the foam is echoed by the surf still on the beach. But then again, the wow factor of this photo doesn't come from the composition, does it?
Color/Tone:
Beautiful beach coloring - cool blues, golden sand & white foam.
Focus/Exposure:
As a commenter said, I like how the depth of field keeps the eye up in the foreground where the action is. To nit-pick, to my eyes, the focus seems to be on the sand dune at the top right of the photo, instead of on the foam, but it's not a terrible thing and it's not all that noticeable.
Title:
It's a bit blah, but it helps the viewer realize what exactly it is they're looking at (well, just me, maybe)..
Meets the Challenge:
Duh.
Summary:
Although the slightly strained composition and slightly soft focus gives me the impression that this wasn't exactly what you planned to shoot, it is definitely an amazing image with a well-deserved score!
