O.K. my "Breaking News" photo was a big success. Problem is how do you follow that up?................... You go look for it's big brother. You get wet. You take bigger risks. You see what I'm talking about? I got up on a cold (50 something degrees which in Miami is cold) and windy Sunday morning and went out in that South Beach surf with my baby and got busy just for you guys. Hope you enjoy these NC POV's (Nut Case POV's).............. and keep the donations coming (Joe's Camera repair loves me).

This is very pretty Michael yet it seems a tad off balance to me in the composition. Seems very bottom heavy. I think (and of course my HO) that a tad less bottom of the wave and a bit more over the top of the wave would be nice. Maybe if you turned this one into a panorama type crop? Just a thought. The colors are lovely and the cripness of the crest is refreshing. It does have a nice feel to it! It was worth the risk! #874053Joan E. Hoffman March 12, 2008
Michael.. I have looked at these three several times over the past couple of days trying to decide which one I liked best... first of all... I love all three, secondly it becomes a right brain, left brain thing. If I remember correctly right brain is the practical side, left is the artistic... So... being an accounting type... I use right brain primarily. However, also having a strong, left brain part... I am not necessarily always looking at detail when it comes to photography, I tend to react from emotion. Thus... I like this one best... it just captures my eye. Love the colours, the action, and it pleases me for no particular reason. (and btw... if I mixed up the left right brain bit... just reverse it LOL) #5634897Joan E. Hoffman March 12, 2008
Oh and btw... technically speaking (from a rank 0) I disagree with Aimee on this one... I think less top and more bottom would please my eye ~S~ Dont't get rid of the wave just crop it down so that just the surge from the bottom is present perhaps? #5634909Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
