    Awesome shot Ross. I love all the water action and the darker sky seems to highlight it more - you've captured it well.

      G'day Ross

      Nice scene captured here but the colours look a little flat to me, not much, but there's room to move here I reckon to give the image some more punch.

      Have you done any processing on this?

        Timing looks good. Captured the wave well. Apart from the wave the rest of the image, in particular foreground, looks under exposed. Little bit of processing should fix that.

          Hi Ross.. great subject matter and your composition is spot on.

          I think I remember you saying you had Lightroom. The image suffers a little from blown highlights (the wave) and flat surrounds as others have mentioned (foreground and sky). In Lightroom there are adjustments for highlights and shadows, clarity, vibrance and sharpening. I suggest you put the image in and have a play with these sliders, you'll be amazed at how much extra detail you can extract. from that wave.

            Here's another way to give it a lift just using Photoshop.
            1. Duplicate the Background Layer 2. On Layer 1, set the Blend Mode to "Multiply". Adjust the Opacity to suit.

              Thanks to you all for your comments. Much appreciated.

              My No 1 aim when I started this was to actually soften it. Below is what I started with and basically all I did was crop and straighten, Soften, Darken the sky a little then brush in clarity to the rock and the white water using LR

                If its the way you want it then fine. We all see things differently and only you were there and had the inspiration from the moment. I feel the power of that wave and that’s why I added drama.

                  Hi Greg. I understand totally where you are coming from.. Generally speaking I like looking at soft photos so tried to do it with this photo. As for the power of the wave = drama well that's artistic and like I said earlier in another thread "I don't have an artistic bone in my body" that's the good part about the forum - different people having different views. So always something to learn.

                    It is a very dramatic subject, but like others I also feel it is missing something, it looks a wee bit toned down on my screen.
