This image was posted in our Scott Critiques Flickr group - Justin made an impressive photograph of a single person in the ocean facing down a big wave. The photo is good as is, but I believe this is another case of a simple crop making the photo that much stronger.
Scott’s Critique
In my version, I cropped vertically to increase the sense of drama caused by the big wave. I also used the Topaz Adjust plug-in to boost clarity and added a Vibrance layer in Photoshop to boost the blues. Everything else is the same. I think it’s stronger for the changes.
If you would like to submit an image for critique, go to our Flickr group. Or just hang out and do some critiques yourself. It’s a very fun group full of knowledgeable photographers.
