The multiple breakers are really nice and the glow of the backlit one adds extra interest. I also like the splash details in the farthest breaker. Fine use of the long lens.

Really nice composition Robert. I like how each wave has it's own character. My only suggestion might be to crop out the sky at the top, I don't think it adds anything to the image and it leads the eye out of the frame.

A nice series of waves that clearly show the effect of the wind. I like how the back light is shining through the one wave and amplifying the green color. Very nice shot!

I like this telephoto shot of cresting waves. It certainly does give a feel of blowing wind with the mist coming off the crests. I especially like the green coloring of the one wave from the light showing through.
