Handheld. Nikon D300. ISO 250. 195mm. F11. 70-300mm Nikkor VRII. Spring on the Oregon Coast from Ecola Point. Sunshine, big waves, east wind blowing spray off the tops of the waves. Fun. :cool:

There are nice lines and textures in this, Robert. The whites appear to be too hot, so you might consider bringing the down a bit. I like the spume blowing off the waves. Also, take a look at cropping from the left so as to place the main wave a bit more to the left side of the frame.

Robert, I like the dynamic and the rhythm of the waves, good choice of shutter speed. The crop appears a bit tight at the top, but that might be purely a matter of opinion.

Lovely lighting and great dof. This different waves keep the shot interesting from the front to the back.
