How the waves move - a study thanks to Donald

[Kaye Leggett]

Hi Kaye Thanks for sharing the series. I find the first and the last better compositionally.If you add some structure or sharpening to the rocks only , the images might look more dramatic and better

Binnur, I looked again at just the first one for now and decreased the contrast whilst boosting the shadows, clarity and sharpness - is this what you had in mind ? Do you think it is improved ? The rocks certainly look more striking to me.

I always thought it was every 7th, but again maybe wrong and it may vary around the world.

7 is an average but you can't rely on it.

When I was fishing for a living we sometimes had to cross a sandbar when there were breaking waves so I would wait for a big one then go just behind the second slightly smaller breaker. It usually gave us 3 or maybe 4 lower waves to get through. But some boats would get caught out by a sudden unexpected big one which just surged up from nowhere.
