Sometimes you move back to express the essence.
Sometimes you move in.

1/800 of a second again, or thereabout? This time there’s no green at all.

Roughly the same shutter speed. There’s no green because the lighting was very different.

So Nature’s Studio didn’t greenlight your production.
I experienced a similar thing in Coron (Philippines): depending on the angle of the sunlight and the camera, the color of the water varied a lot. In some cases, even within a single picture adjacent patches of water had different colors.

No. It’s sort of blue and gold lighted it.

Love it. The force of the angry sea is expressed perfectly and it has a sense of closeness too which I like.

Awesome. I find water and waves most fascinating ( I’m totally taken with Rachael Talibart’s approach.) This is quintessentially you, your work. so well done.

I am also taken by Rachael‘s work, as you know. But the last thing I want to do is imitate her. Inspiration is one thing, and imitation is another. So I am very consciously taking it in my direction and in doing so I am discovering things about these photographs and about my direction that I never suspected. Anyway, I’ll stop philosophizing and simply say thank you very much.

And you HAVE expressed the essence. I think there are lots of photographs of waves to be found, and maybe it’s not so easy to say something different with a photo of a wave. But I think you’ve done that.
