 Funny how we all like different things. I like the look he achieved with this shutter speed and processing but the color is a bit too out there. A super image nonetheless. Congrats!

I think of the times I was out when it was blowing a gale and the waves were crashing and the excitement and aliveness I feel - that's what great photos should do.. make us feel/think - thank you |
