Waves of Regret (with broken link fix)

This is fantastic Matt - such a sense of movement and drama - absolutely perfect shutter speed. Great stuff!

You really have a way with creating dramatic photos. Great movement in the waves and the conversion works really well.

Amazing texture and drama. As if it was painted.

Marvelous textures and drama. Great shot.

This is striking Matt, well done. I love the drama here. I'd like to see a little more room for at the top of the rock, but realize that might have diminished the power of the wave action.

Love the drama and implied chaotic movement of the waves Matt. Would be nice to have a tad more separation between the rock pillar and sea.

I like the dynamic feel of this image. The processing has a very dramatic effect and I absolutely love the wave action that you've captured here.

I like the swirling motion of the water Matt. Very painterly effect. I light the contrast as well.

Awesome, one of my fav bands. Is this duotoned or similiar? Great wave action

John, I framed this one pretty tight. Although, with the new content aware fill feature in CS5 I have been testing, the days of short on canvas maybe be, um, short. (if one was to take such liberties)

Anthony, check your email, I sent you a lil' gift.

Wow, what dramatic mood here Matt. It reminds me of your churning cloud image, except this is the ocean.... I wonder, do you have enough material to turn that into a sea/sky storm series? Something to consider maybe, I think it would be really neat.

By the way, just realized that it's almost as if there's a horizon, and the perspective of the rocks all makes sense with the faux horizon... the waves are different in the URC. This is seriously cool, dude!

Love the water texture and your toning. Very dynamic and dramatic photo. Great work!

Stunning shot - very hypnotic.

Great mood and excellent processing here.

Wow, this is a pretty incredible image! Love your processing. Hard to grasp what exactly is going on here but I like it... adds to the mystery and drama I think. Very cool!

The waves are great-very strong composition...I just would like the rock to pop more against the background.

Dramatic image and good processing. Very cool Matt.

this is superb... like an old master's painting
what shutter speed did you use?

Karsten, I had a BW-ND filter mounted on the lens at ISO 320 f/11 so I could get the shutter speed to 1.0 Seconds. Thanks for the good words.

Matt,

This is a stunning and mesmerizing seascape. Easy to interpret this as painterly, but it goes beyond that for me. It's a mind bender in the sense that I can't figure the scale or perspective. In other words, the large rock appears like a pretty decent sized sea rock/stack and I expect there to be sky behind it - Yet, the UR quadrant looks like more waves, or are they clouds.... ? This one really keeps me looking, and thinking. Fantastic.

Ahah! So are those "waves of regret and waves of joy"?
Fantastic, your U2 renditions Matt, this image looks to me biting and poetic at the same time, just like many U2 songs.

Fabulous work, Matt. It looks like a composite of several different images. I love the way you've created the swirl in the water. Very stomy and dramatic.

reminds of you´re previous version, the poweful sky. very graphical and I like the dreamy look of this. looks like it´s alive and you´re processing looks awsome. another great piece of work, Matt!

And oh, how our regrets do create a turmoil within... Wow, this is incredible! Congrats for the EP.

Way cool.

Awesome one, Matt. The shutter speed makes this one very powerful. The rest is done by the excellent processing. Congrats on the pick.

This is awesome!

Wow very unique image,such emotional intensity! The whole sea in a single wave.... Incredible!
