taken after a storm in tramore co waterford
Looks like the storm is still going strong to me!!
Great shot, very powerful.
Like this one. You can almost feel the power in the water. Like the B+W adds to the shot. No suggestions just like it how it is

Cracker, love it.
Maybe you could crop up from the bottom slightly to remove the edge of the pier (or whatever) in the bottom left hand corner? But it doesnt distract from the action!
Perfect timing and a really powerfull shot which works very well in B&W.

Thanks for looking and the comments.
I will have to wait for another storm to beat this one!
Fine shot, don’t worry I’ve a feeling you won’t have to wait to long!!
While I like the image, and it certainly is dramatic, it sort of falls down compositionally. The eye is drawn to the middle of the picture which in this case doesn’t really work. The shot is also crooked – the lamp-posts are all leaning in to the right.
It can be very difficult under these sorts of circumstances (dramatic weather, rapidly changing scenery, trying to time the perfect shot), but if you pay attention to the rules of composition you can turn a good shot like this into something truly special.
I do like the B&W conversion, I think the tones and contrast work very well. I would like to see the building on the pier to the right of the wave a bit lighter though – it looks like a lot of it has gone black.
Cheers,
Peter
