Waves off beach

Just thought I'd like to see what we could do with a basic 'waves off beach' scene. This is the original photo.


The following photo has had some cropping done just to try and improve the composition. I think this gives a better feel to the atmosphere, makes it feel a little bit more menacing. One can notice the brown tinge to some of the waves. This is due to the undertow off the beach, it taking sand off the beach with it. This gives a sign to the bathers and surfers that the undertow might be dangerous.


It is also possible to see the spray being blown off the top of the waves. It could be that a tighter crop might have improved it further. There are no rocks in this photo, just waves!

A future post will show an interesting alteration to this photo, I think quite dramatic, but you can decide.
