Great image and good crop to make the viewer focus on the rocks and breaking wave while still retaining the overall feel of the setting.

Seems whenever I bring my wide angle I would have been better off with the zoom.......as was the case here. Because I couldn't get close enough, this image is heavily cropped. Still need to add a picture of those pesky gulls. |

Still need to add a picture of those pesky gulls. I rarely have a photograph ready for display without any cropping. Sometimes they are cropped heavily. I have lately taken to keeping my 70-200 on the camera most of the time. I can usually find a way to take several exposures and stitch them, then crop and end up with the finished image that I wanted. A photo like this one that looks like a wide angle shot, but was actually about 10 images stitched and cropped to look like a wide pano. I find that it tends to look more natural, more like my eye sees it.  |

preeb Oh, I so need to do that! I have been on the fence about that lens.....thinking it will be too heavy for me......however, I could certainly do it with my 24-105. We are going to The Tetons in September so I should start practicing now!!!!

Here's one where I don't mind the birds and another one where I made them disappear.   |

Really like your first image …would make a great print and/or a desktop image.
I also like your image with the birds. I took notice that the horizon “line” differs in the two images.(bird and non-bird images). The horizon line in the bird image falls below half (50%) thereby emphasizing the sky. What if you cropped that image so the horizon line was above 50%, thereby putting emphasis on the waves, the shore and the birds. You will still have a great looking sky and a very interesting foreground.

Thanks PeteB......I actually posted a cropped version on FB tonight. Is this what you had in mind?  |

All beautiful, Helen - especially the one where the birds have disappeared.
