big waves, small guy

[Kerry Perkins]

This young man is about to have more interaction than he hoped for! He did get out of the way to let these big waves come on shore. Used a little Topaz Detail and Simplify to give it a painterly look (I hope!).

Nice capture Kerry, with the head turn on the guy..its almost like he's daring the wave to hit him...

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Love it Kerry - I can really feel the power of those waves :)

[Julie Kenward]

Wonderfully suspenseful, Kerry! I personally would probably prefer less diffusion on the rock area but I do sense how powerful the spray is here.

Kerry, Nice composition and the painterly look works well here. I like the way the guy is standing -it adds to the sense of scale IMO. The water looks lovely.

Nice image and application, Kerry.

Nice wave action.

The HA of the bird is a little off. But ... ;) :D

Just a touch of a painterly effect. Looks like you masked the little guy back in before he got swept out by those waves!!!! Neat shot kerry!

[Indranil Sircar]

Very nice, Kerry. It tells a story. Love the dreamy effect on the waves. I can also the lone gull sitting on the rocks watching the drama below :)

Kerry, I like the effect you got with Topaz and love the lighting on the cliff and waves. It's a very powerful image.

Thanks everybody, I appreciate the comments! Mark, you crack me up!!
