Great idea! My monitor doesn't pick up the detail in the peppercorns as well as I'd like, but NICE concept, good photo!

Hello Tim From the Critique Club

This is a great action shot with lots going on and a good capture
and definately fits the challenge
It may be improved if it was a little bit sharper but the amount of surf seems to almost overtake the image
Maybe the mid tonal levels reduced would make it darker and bring the subject out more I am not very technical though
But overall a really good subject which gave you a really decent score and its so frustrating when a shot like this is overlooked because of some great 'set up' images. I can imagine your image would be quite hard to achieve and you would feel really great about putting up for the challenge only to be out voted.
But it is a natural image with good detail so just enjoy your photography and keep up the good work.

D P C voters are a hard to please lot. LOL!
Good luck in future Challenges and if you have any questions plese feel free to P M me
Regards
Sally

I like the rainbow. The colors look muddy. Post processing would help bring out more in this shot. I bet the histogram is all bunched up into the mid section. Try adjusting so there is a greater spread or try a curves adjustment to get some light and darks.

A bit to dark for my taste.

Not quite contrasty enough for an album cover (imho). However, I like the colors of the clouds, and catching that rainbow - very well done. I think that something could be done to the water to give it more "pop", but I'm not sure what..
