Co-motion
Sunset at Shark's Tooth Cove near Davenport, CA. Those familiar with this cove (and the nearby coves) know how the tide swirls around in the cove and can often be dangerous and unpredictable. Near the end of this exposure a wave washed up quickly and I grabbed my gear to get out of the way. The streaks are the result of the movement at the tail end of the exposure. Its a bit of a different look and something I'd love feedback about.

Life has been beyond chaotic for me recently (in a good way) and going through some photos from the past months this one struck me as an interesting representation of the chaos.

Greg, that is definately a cool kind of ghostly abstract effect. I like it. And I know that feeling thinking you have plently of room only to be surprised by the ocean. I need to finish applying for my camera insurance for times such as these.:eek:

Wow, what a unique shot! Gorgeous colors and comp. My only suggestion would be to crop the dark band at the bottom. Very cool shot, Greg.

An interesting and a bit experimental with taking the norm and twisting it into a spin toward the abstract. Nice work with the entire procedure, Greg.

Greg, it's definitely interesting. Maybe cropping the top and bottom to emphasize the motion? It does grab you though
