Spectacular captures!

I would consider getting rid of some of the frame that doesn't really contribute and do a little processing to bring out the drama of the waves more. There are lots of ways you could do this. For example, I cropped the first one and then added both midtone contrast (a curve) and some local contrast (unsharp mask, amount about 30, radius 5). I did the adjustments with a luminosity blend mode to avoid increasing the saturation of the blue more. That produced this:

Thank you Dan, I like your cropping and adjustments.

Thank you Trev.

While I can see what Dan is trying to do, I find having the people in the shot is important as it gives the viewer a sense of scale. That is one huge wave!

[bje07]

You are right Manfred so my first framing.

I was told these two guys would be firefighters at the practice.

I agree. The problem for me was that I couldn't easily include the pole, which would be distracting on the edge.

[bje07]

Yes Dan, but the pole give also an element of comparison

I agree. The problem for me was that I couldn't easily include the pole, which would be distracting on the edge.

One can always clone out the pole and its shadow.
