I enjoy #3 the most, it is quite interesting for me, the way the waves look like they are moving is what keeps my attention. Its difficult to get good shots without having such low contrast from the fog etc. good job overall.

So, this is an issue of expectations, I guess. I wasn't trying for a landscape per se, I was taking a shot of rocks and moving water (as well as negative space). I hadn't really considered what the image didn't contain. But I did achieve what I intended.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Kelly.

The best times at Thunder Hole depends completely on the tides and wave action. The first time I was there a storm was off the coast and there was a lot of big wave action. That's when it really comes to life. You could hear it a long way off. The second time I was there we didn't have a lot of wave action so it wasn't the same.garyrhook wrote:

Thanks. The weather was not ideal that day, and I had to take what I could get. We're talking about trying find jobs up there when we retire, so we can go back and really explore for several months. I will be going back, come hell or high water.
I like the colors in the first one (I'm a Rothko fan) but the 2nd is more about the bird than the actual shot. I was amused by him sitting out there by himself. I'm real happy with #3 (as-is, negative space notwithstanding) with the lines, the water blur, and the textures.
We missed the best time at Thunder Hole (10 AM-ish that day?) but it was still quite entertaining.
