    Default big waves, small guy

    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!).

    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.

    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!

    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.
