You're Welcome Marc :-) Two thoughts in response to what you've said to me and to George about this image. The first is that when you turned and saw the scene you knew there was something worth trying to capture photographically before you, irregardless of whether you thought it out consciously, your subconscious saw something and it moved you to act. Then, as you described, you just shot and moved along, but that just means your instincts and experiences took over to lead you to a pleasing composition, placement of the horizon, and timing of the moment to shoot the waves down below. Just because one isnt consciously being a skilled image maker doesnt make one stop being one as they interact with the world around them. The second is that rare is the photographer whose images only say the things they want to say and only speaks with the thoughts and ideas they thought they were using. Marc, There is a specialness youve created inside the white boundarys of that posted image.
