This was taken at Kogel Bay in False Bay near Cape Town. It's probably the most photogenic place i have ever been to. And yes i have been there a few times. And maybe going there this weekend.

Used a Pol Filter and ND8 grad
Blended 3 shots.
Canon 50D and 10-22mm
SS 1.6
ISO100
f16

All C&C welcome and appreciated

Beautiful job here! The clouds seem a bit oversaturated for my taste. I find myself wondering how it would look without the splash in the lower right and a bit slower SS.

Thanks for posting! I would love to visit a place like that one day.

Kogel never disappoints, Kobus! lovely play of light, strong composition and I personally love the splash - feels like it's gonna hit me in the face the next moment...I like how the water portrays the rough Cape seas (most shots here have a silky water effect which is cool too, but in this case I prefer the water as is)

I also like the light variation in this photo. Nice place and I love the water color. My eye is being pulled to the bright water in the LRHC but I still like this a lot.

Hey Kobus,
I really like this as presented! Sweet light and the water is also very nice! While the splash does draw my eye, I'm with Morkel.....it gives the sense that it is about to crash into me and there is also enough definition in it to make it work for me. That being said.....how about a faster SS next time.......pusing the ISO to 400 or even higher if you dare to freeze the wave may also make for an interesting variation! Very nicely done!

Hi Kobus, Very dramatic image with sweet light and alot of interest. I can see detail in the foreground wave which adds to the drama.Nothing I don't like about this image. Well handled!!

Hey Kobus, I agree with the others, you pretty much have all you should have. This is a very swirly image! It spins! Love the light on the foreground against the brooding dark cliffs, and the blues are great!
