Ha! What a pic Rosario. Hi by the way, nice with your response on semi-subway. Not really an tsunami wave but almost, it is like you have frozen time since those umbrella doesnt seem to move at all. One is folded, the other two is still not. Naked beach, no people, four birds doesnt fly away of the waves. Cool surreal image. /barbro

The photo contains interesting elements and of course the dynamic of the surf is key. I generally favor the odd number of objects and it works in this case. However, I would consider an alternate interpretation by cropping from the right to keep just two umbrellas. At the same time I would probably clone out the bird that touches the umbrella pole. TFS.

Leave only two umbrellas, square format ... I like it, I will try. Thanks Bill for your critique and suggestion. Regards, Rosario.

The very big waves is the message that you are trying to deliver on the shot, isn't it Rosario? You have done that and it is a good show to have the umbrellas for me to make a comparison on the dimension of these waves. But I have another idea on your composition, just walk closer to one of the umbrella(problably the closed one) and put it at 1/3 position either left or right side, then take the shot while another big wave is coming, think it would make the shot more stunning.

Cheers......Edwin

You're right, Edwin, the main focus of this picture are the big waves. Thank you for your comments and suggestions. Regards, Rosario.

very striking how you juxtapose the parasols with the dramatic waves. I assume you are foreshortening the scene with a lens, but in any case it is extremely effcetive, and the waves alone are a good capture

Hi Keith. Well, I took the photo with a 105 mm lens, but the waves were really big. I appreciate your critique and time. Regards, Rosario.

Hi Rosario, This Wild Waves title shot is very intersting Sea and Sand Picture. Waves so large that, if there is a tsunami. Stoned a beautiful moment. Best Regards, Ismail ..
