Thanks both Paul & Mike: Yep, closer for sure, and I will try your
composition strategy, Paul. Big thanks. Cheers, Christine

Pretty scene. Nice light and good timing.
I'd like to see you try something more dramatic. Perhaps get in tighter
of use a longer lens, so the closest breaking wave fills more than half
the frame and overflows it in places.

Hi Everyone:
I believe this is my 1st wave shoot. I probably shot about 90 pics, but
this was the best of the bunch. The others weren't very interesting
mainly because I didn't time the shots right or the wave didn't turn out
as dramatic as I thought it might or the composition was uninteresting.
Getting all of the aforementioned just right at the same time was hard.
Birds were everywhere as well--so I cleaned up the sky quite a bit--
lots of blurry black spots polluting that drab looking sky :-).
I found shooting waves quite a challenge. I tried to use all my senses
to anticipate where the big splashes might be but it often didn't work
out. I tried to rely on hearing, but it seemed the louder and incoming
wave was the less interesting was the splash when it hit the shore :-).
If anyone has any tips, I'd be grateful. I probably should try this
again with an ND filter, no? Also, I'd be interested in knowing which
crop you prefer--I've cropped the jogger out of the 2nd pic.
Anyway, comments/critique welcome--I could use some help in shooting
this subject.
