Another image from my shoot of the 2006 Mavericks Big Wave Surf Competition. Surf reached heights of nearly 50 feet. This initially was one of my favorite images. If you care to see more please access my web site where a recap of the event is summarized in an article and numerous photos are posted. Thanks for your time and comments.
I was about a half mile from the action. So the softness you're seeing is the result of the distance and a good amount of sea mist in the air. In front of where the largest waves break 2 other sets of waves break. The result is a large amount of seamist.
Very decisive moment Jim! Nice composition, I also like the seagull at the top left of the image. Overall I see the full image a little bit out of focus, is it me or wave's splash? Thanks for sharing! Mattia
