Great colour, great waves & textures - ideal moment. But what's the foreground all about? If you're doing an exposé on contrasts, you've got it, because the stuff in the foreground does not compliment the "last light" you've captured so well.
I am trying to carry over the shape in the background to the foreground. As uninteresting as it is, it's shaped like the cloud and the incoming waves in the midground.
Thanks for the comments, guys!Hey Terry, this was an exercise on juxtaposition. I am trying to carry over the shape in the background to the foreground. As uninteresting as it is, it's shaped like the cloud and the incoming waves in the midground. I'd love to hear your comments how I could improve the image to deliver this idea across.
Personally, I would look for a complimentary foreground object: rocks or a boulder; a dock; even certain sand patterns. What you've done is not wrong, it's my perspective that's driving this - but you must go according to your perspective. It also depends on what you're trying to do with this photograph. If you're trying to sell it, then something more pleasant might work better. If it's an exercise in composition, then don't worry about it.
Nice light and water motion. I like the highlights on the seaweed. I think a little off the bottom might improve the composition as well.
