    This is nice Brendan, I like the proportions of your crop, the way you've captured the foaming surf and the change in colour of the wave.

    Brendan....nice exposure! Is that sand in the breaker? I also like the gradation in blue from fg to bg

    Good EXP and timing. I would like to have seen a bit more of the green wave on our right. Do you live in San Diego?

    Hi Brendan, see you are still having fun with the waves! I like it as presented, but would add a little more room on top, to have some more space between the splash on the left and the top of the frame.

    Thanks folks, much appreciated. I think I'll try some of your suggestions and play around with it some more.

    I'm not sure, it may be fine beads of water. Kind of different to do a wave at 1/3200 and have so much detail.

    I would agree with Artie that more wave on the right would have balanced nicely with the breaking wave.

    Hi Brendan, agree on the green wave. Your pano crop works well here for the curl. Very nice timing as well!

    Agree with above on the RHS side :) this is a pit of note (SAFA surf lingo ) and Morks , that would have really hurt :)
