Late afternoon in the ocean off South Beach, Fremantle

 

X-U 113

ISO 640; 1/1000 s; f/8 
 
What do you think about the crop and the colours? 
Should the foreground wave that's out of focus stay in the image? 
I increased red saturation and reduced highlights, which moved the reflection on the water from white to orange; change? 
Sky is noisier than I expected; not successful yet in reducing that; suggestions welcome. 
 
Cheers

Shane, I like it very much as it is. The unfocused foreground doesn't bother me at all since it is in the dark and creates more "mood". I also think the saturation is fine for this kind of composition.

This is a very unusual shot that, IMHO, works perfectly well!

If you're worried about grain try shooting at 1/250 or 1/500 with iso 160-320 respectively. 

 

In this case I would've gone for ISO 200 1/500 F6,4

I would cut a bit....

We all try to get better but this is a hell of a shot.  The eye goes straight to the horizon, not the foreground, so when you do notice the oncoming wave it's almost like it's too late - you're about to be submerged! 

 

You should print this and hang it.
