    Wonderful light and pose I am a bit surprised that you got motion blur on the wings at 3200 shutter speed.

    Beautiful light and pose. Good comp. What I love best about this image is the foam detaching off the legs...very neat!

    Super shot the light is amazing and as Dan said the foam on the legs is really unusual.

    Stunning light and pose. Love that foam, esp the foam coming off of the fleet. The motion blur in the wings works for me but surprised there is any also.

    Thanks everyone for the comments and critique, love the foam on the feet myself. Don't know why the blur at that shutter speed but like Marina said, it also works for me, gives a sense of motion.
